Around 7 PM, the meeting between the Board of Directors of Colón and various groups commenced at the Hotel de Campo.
Although it was scheduled for 6 PM, almost an hour later, the dialogue began between the Board of Directors of Colón and the various groups that are part of the institutional life, with the aim for these groups to contribute to creating a peaceful scenario in this turbulent Sabalero moment.
Once the meeting concluded, Germán Williner, the club's vice president, made statements to clarify what happened and the steps the leadership will take.
First, he explained the reasons for the meeting with the different groups: “It was a meeting primarily focused on reviewing what happened yesterday and continuing to work with the groups on what was proposed. We need consensus to get through this difficult time, we are discussing so that the representatives of the groups present alternatives, we have a meeting tomorrow with the Ministry of Security, it is the regular stadium meeting.”
Later, he lamented the recent events: “Yesterday was a painful and sad day for everyone, there are not many more words. I want to send a message to the Colón members, we had a very serious incident, mainly with the presence of the police inside the premises. We had the dormitory with 30 kids, we have the responsibility to take care of them. Based on the recommendations of the security company we hired, what happened happened. We obviously regret what happened. When the situation at the premises eased, we saw there was presence at the headquarters and we approached. Permission was given to the members, we requested the police to leave, there were kids training fifty meters away.”
When asked about the possibility of playing without an audience, he said: “We never considered that possibility, we always want to do it with our people. I know it's very difficult to convey, but we ask people to support us, I can't think of anything else. Today in Colón everything is day by day, we have to overcome this sporting stage.”
Regarding the sporting aspect, he clarified: “As far as I know, the team is up to date. There is nothing about Medrán resigning, there was no issue.”
On the institutional level, he stated: “Today the set date is November 30, there is nothing else. Institutionally, we have balances and a handover as Colón deserves.”
Finally, he confirmed that there was no presence from the list that would include Vignatti or Alonso: «They were invited as in all meetings, but they did not come, anyway, I was not involved in the organization of the meeting»
