Colón elections: José Alonso takes the helm, what next for José Vignatti? | OneFootball

It's complicated to understand the idea of "Vignattismo without Vignatti," although in the Colón World of recent years, anything is possible. The truth is that the traditional political sector that was born in the famous "Fondo Rojinegro" and today has changed its name to "Tradición Sabalera" has begun to define positions, strategies, and names ahead of the very distant elections on November 30, another issue that no one understands about the popular entity of Barrio Centenario. The first major decision has been made: the presidential candidate of "Vignattismo" will be José Alonso, and it remains a mystery what role José Néstor Vignatti will ultimately play.

At the last dinner, a few days ago, where José Vignatti decided not to head the list due to "family matters" and supported the idea of José Alonso as the presidential candidate of the sector, his historic group of collaborators "left open the possibility for any position he wishes to take." Even the most historic aides asked him that "it would be important for him to support José Alonso by occupying one of the three vice-presidencies," where two young names are emerging to support the new candidate of "Tradición Sabalera." Positions with less exposure, such as one of the trusteeships or the Tribunal of Honor, appear as alternatives.

José Vignatti, who has never lost an election in Colón and has always been a presidential candidate, remains in the position of "thinking about what to do, taking a few days, and responding when the time comes to form the list for November 30."

In addition to bringing in people to refresh "Vignattismo," José Alonso's idea would be to convince important businessmen from the city of Santa Fe, who have always contributed and collaborated with Colón from the outside without explicitly getting involved in any Board of Directors.

Next week, thanks to a cordial relationship he has built with Cristian Malaspina, currently the General Secretary of AFA, the presidential candidate of "Tradición Sabalera" will have his first one-on-one with Claudio "Chiqui" Tapia at the AFA facility in Ezeiza. It will undoubtedly be one of the important cards José Alonso will play in his dream of occupying the presidential seat in the popular entity of Barrio Centenario.

The "Vignattismo," for now, has remained silent since it left power in Colón after the relegation. There was only one public appearance, where José Alonso himself and Dr. Luis Hilbert flatly dismissed any claim by Facundo Farías regarding the famous "15 percent," even displaying that section of the contract where "La Joya" donated it to Colón.

The sector, despite the absence of José Néstor Vignatti, never participated in the meetings in which the Board of Directors headed by Víctor Francisco Godano called the opposition. First, to confirm the election date (November 30) and then to form the so-called "Crisis Committee" after the incidents at the facility and the mobilization at the headquarters before the match with Deportivo Morón.

With an officialdom buried by natural causes, the Colón World today would go to the polls with four options: Ricardo Luciani (first minority of Godano), Ricardo Magdalena, Carlos Trod, and the aforementioned José Alonso. The chance of a list headed by an "outsider" has been losing strength as the days go by.

What is clear is that "Vignattismo" will return to the polls with the figure of businessman José Alonso as the presidential candidate. What everyone is asking is, what position will José Néstor Vignatti hold in the "Tradición Sabalera" list? For now, the political map of Colón is a mystery. Vignatti is too.
