Gaviões da Fiel slam board, call new protest at Parque São Jorge | OneFootball

Amid the backdrop of financial difficulties and internal disputes involving Corinthians, Gaviões da Fiel announced this Friday (21) a new demonstration at Parque São Jorge. The protest is scheduled for this Saturday (22), starting at 10 a.m., at the club’s social headquarters.

The mobilization continues the demonstration held last Wednesday, when members of organized supporter groups were in front of the São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office (MP-SP). On that occasion, the fans supported the progress of the investigations involving the club and expressed support for the possibility of judicial intervention at Corinthians.

In the new call to action, Gaviões also responded to criticism directed at the fans who took part in the demonstration outside the MP-SP. The organized group challenged statements made by council members and said that “a bum is not someone who makes an effort to protect the club,” but rather “someone who lives off VIP boxes and perks at its expense.”

The group once again demanded explanations about Corinthians’ financial and political management, especially in light of the club’s growing debt, which is currently approaching the R$ 3 billion mark.

Former director André Luiz de Oliveira, known as André Negão, was also mentioned by the group. Gaviões criticized a post in which the former director highlighted the titles won during the Renovação & Transparência administration period. In the supporters’ view, there is a contrast between the results achieved on the field and the financial situation left by the administrations of that period.

The organized group also criticized the way the club has been run politically. According to the statement, sectors of Corinthians politics have treated the institution’s assets as a tool for disputes over influence and personal interests.

Among the changes defended by Gaviões are greater transparency in management, a reform of the bylaws, greater fan participation in the club’s political life, and expanding voting rights to Fiel Torcedor members. The supporters argue that these members contribute directly to Corinthians’ revenue through the purchase of tickets and products, yet do not take part in institutional decisions.

The situation of the assembly scheduled for September 19 was also mentioned. The meeting is expected to address changes to the bylaws, but according to the organized group, there is a possibility of another suspension through legal measures filed by council members.

At the end of the call to action, Gaviões emphasized that this Saturday’s protest will be open to all fans, regardless of ties to organized supporter groups. The entity asked that the demonstration be carried out in a peaceful and organized manner and ended the statement with the phrase: “The war is not among us. The war is against them.”

GENERAL CALL TO ACTION

PROTEST AT PARQUE SÃO JORGE

Attention, Fiel supporters!

This Saturday (22), at 10 a.m., we will continue in front of Parque São Jorge, following up on Wednesday’s demonstration, when the supporters went to the Public Prosecutor’s Office to support the investigations that could result in judicial intervention at the club.

The supporters are aware of the mockery from part of the council regarding that act, even insinuating that anyone who left work on a Wednesday afternoon to defend Corinthians was a “bum” and “jobless.” Curious to hear that from council members who have always received free tickets to keep dirty politics going. A bum is not someone who makes an effort to protect the club. A bum is someone who lives off VIP boxes and perks at its expense.

There are even those who found reason for pride in leaving “only” R$ 1.7 billion in debt while running the club, compared to the nearly R$ 3 billion Corinthians owes today. For them, the club’s assets are a bargaining chip for power and personal interest. This cannot continue, and it will no longer be tolerated. True Corinthians supporters do not want this. Society no longer accepts this.

And the question remains: after all, what do they want for Corinthians? They are not in favor of intervention. They are not in favor of a SAF. Many are not even in favor of a real bylaws reform, and what little remains of it could be blocked again, leaving Fiel Torcedor (Football Member) out of the September 19 assembly. Even so, they continue counting on the Corinthians fan who pays for tickets, buys products, and supports the club, but has no right to vote.

We demand a clear response: if they are not in favor of any real change, let them say so plainly.

Bring your banner, your sign, and show your outrage against those who treat Corinthians as private property.

A peaceful, democratic, and organized demonstration, so that the voice of the supporters may be heard in defense of Corinthians. Our fight is for real change.

A call to every Corinthians supporter, organized or not.

The war is not among us. The war is against them.

For Corinthians, with much love, until the end!
