Gustavo Abraham: Godano’s committee blocked internal probe | OneFootball

Gustavo Abraham, candidate for president of Colón, made strong statements after the ordinary assembly in which the financial statement and report were approved. The leader revealed that a member proposed forming an investigative committee “like the one that was carried out during Lerche’s administration,” and assured that his group supported the initiative. However, he denounced that “Víctor Godano’s committee did not want to move forward,” hiding behind technical issues that, according to him, “had nothing to do with the matter.”

Abraham maintained that the leadership relied on the fact that there is an open investigation at the MPA prosecutor’s office, promoted by the Inspection of Legal Entities. But he emphasized that this is not the core issue that should be analyzed: “What needs to be reviewed here is individual responsibility. Sometimes it is not a crime, but it is a case of mismanagement, and in Colón there clearly is mismanagement.”

Misconduct and cases that, according to Abraham, harmed the club

The candidate went further and pointed out previous situations that, in his view, justify a thorough internal review. He mentioned episodes related to Kelme and the Farías case, which he described as precedents that “have harmed Colón and require explanation.”

For Abraham, the board’s rejection of the investigative committee prevents clarifying whether there were incorrect, negligent, or institutionally harmful decisions, even if they do not constitute criminal offenses.

The political stance and the role of the member

The candidate explained that, unlike other occasions, in this assembly he chose not to speak publicly: “I didn’t speak so as not to mix political interests with what one feels as a member. I didn’t want anything to be misinterpreted.”

Even so, he expressed his willingness to collaborate with any project that wins the elections: “I will be willing to work with any list; hopefully we get to lead.”

Approved balance and lingering doubts

Regarding the financial statement presented, Abraham stated that “it reflects the club’s situation in June, which is not today’s reality,” and again questioned the delay in its presentation. For him, the key issue is the explanations about the origin of the accumulated debt: “Some explanations were given and others were not. I don’t know why they didn’t go deeper, it would even help them defend themselves,” he fired.

The image of Godano and the prominence of other leaders

Regarding the behavior of the current administration’s leaders, Abraham described president Víctor Godano as “dejected” and “unwell,” highlighting that he spoke little and delegated almost the entire presentation to the general secretary, Adrián Paseggi, and the treasurer, Adrián Temporelli.
