Corinthians members’ collective calls Saturday protest at Parque São Jorge amid governance unrest | OneFootball

The Coletivo Família Corinthians, a group of club associates, has called a protest at Parque São Jorge on Saturday 29 August at 14:00.

According to Meu Timao, the mobilisation follows turmoil at the club and is billed Protesto dos Sócios, Chega de Descaso.

President Osmar Stabile is a principal target, with three impeachment petitions filed against his administration. The group also questions his decisions, saying they have repercussions inside and outside the club.

The Conselho Deliberativo, led by Romeu Tuma Júnior, is likewise criticised, with references to sanctions on associates and former directors and the acquittal of Claudinei Alves and José Valmir da Costa. Appeals are allowed under Article 37 of the club statute.

Second vice-president Armando Mendonça requested leave in June amid probes into missing sportswear from club facilities. On 23 June he became a defendant over alleged qualified and continued embezzlement, attempted embezzlement, qualified theft by abuse of trust and coercion. He denies the accusations and says the inquiries lacked clarity.

The group lists four demands, including statutory reform to update rules and widen member participation. The São Paulo Court of Justice has suspended the Extraordinary General Assembly that was due to discuss changes on 19 September. It also calls for transparency over missing materials and criticises Cori’s stance towards members.

Using a motto that their unity is stronger than neglect, the collective urges voting members and regular attendees to join the act to press the leadership for answers and a greater say.
