Chiqui Tapia warns San Lorenzo: risk of expulsion if government steps in | OneFootball

Intense day at the AFA Grounds: this morning, Claudio Tapia welcomed various political figures from the institutional life of San Lorenzo.

Among those present were: Marcelo Moretti, Matías Lammens, Horacio Arreceygor, Sergio Costantino, Marcelo Culotta, Alejandro Tamer, García Lago, Terzano, Martín Cigna, Goroyesky, Miguel Mastrosimone, Ulises Morales, Néstor Ortigoza, Javier Allievi and Manuel Agote (representative of Sebastián Pareja -member of the National Government- who left early).

The meeting began intensely. Manuel Agote, linked to Sebastián Pareja, political organizer of Libertad Avanza in the Province of Buenos Aires, refused to participate with the presence of Lammens.

After a verbal exchange, he stood up and left the room. In response to this situation, Claudio Tapia warned the rest of the political spectrum of the ‘Ciclón’ that if Agote went to court and sought the intervention of the National Government in the Boedo club to facilitate the arrival of a Sports Corporation, he could take measures such as disaffiliation

Among the requests of the AFA president was an urgent collective solution and organization. At the same time, he explained that the Association took charge of some institutional problems, such as the debt with the team to avoid a strike and that it stopped the bankruptcy request made by the Swiss fund.

Furthermore, he informed them that he acted as guarantor at Santander Bank to release $80 million that were blocked because there was no signature and no other authority to take responsibility for the debt.

The conclave, which had heated and elevated moments, concluded with Tapia's serious and firm request to those present to present him by Monday or Tuesday with a plan in which all political actors of the ‘Ciclón’ agree for economic recovery and institutional normalization.

In the same vein, he requested solutions and the call for a Board of Directors meeting, whether to call for elections or confirm the continuity of Marcelo Moretti as president of San Lorenzo.

Will San Lorenzo have its Board of Directors meeting on November 7?

Due to the lack of a call from Marcelo Moretti for a Board of Directors meeting, the Supervisory Commission took action, summoned the president, and called for a meeting on November 7, provided the leader does not call a meeting. Thus, the call made by the Supervisory Commission will be nullified.

Diego Marín, one of the members of San Lorenzo's Supervisory Commission, expressed on X (formerly Twitter): “The opposition blocks in the Supervisory Commission decided by majority to summon the President to comply with the judicial mandate within the established deadlines, calling subsidiarily for a Board of Directors meeting on Friday, November 7 at 6 pm, which will be nullified if the President schedules a meeting before the date determined here”.

Meanwhile, Sebastián Ruiz, president of the governing body, disagreed with the rest of the SC and justified it on several points, the most notable being that article 59 of the statute empowers the Supervisory Commission to request the Board of Directors meeting but does not authorize it to carry it out or set dates, as that is the responsibility of the president or their replacement.

The meeting on November 7 appears as a turning point for the institutional future of the club. Besides defining the continuity or not of the current leadership, its outcome will directly impact San Lorenzo's representation before the AFA, from which Moretti is temporarily removed until his formal situation is resolved.
