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

Intense day at the AFA Grounds: this morning, Claudio Tapia met with 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 -a member of the National Government- who left early).

The meeting started 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 from the AFA president was an urgent collective solution and organization. He also explained that the Association took charge of some institutional problems, such as the debt with the team to avoid a strike and that it halted 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 elevated and heated 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 calling of 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, urged the president, and called a meeting for 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 the San Lorenzo Supervisory Commission, expressed on X (formerly Twitter): “The opposition blocs in the Supervisory Commission determined by majority to urge 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 arranges a meeting with an earlier date than the one determined here”.

Meanwhile, Sebastián Ruiz, president of the governing body, disagreed with the rest of the SC, and justified it with several points, the most notable being that article 59 of the statute empowers the Supervisory Commission to request the convening of the BD but does not authorize it to carry it out or set dates, as this is the responsibility of the president or whoever replaces him.

The meeting on November 7 appears as a turning point for the institutional future of the club. In addition to 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.
