This Tuesday (16th), the Palmeiras Deliberative Council met to approve the club's budget for the 2025 season. However, the meeting was also marked by a dispute between a council member and the president Leila Pereira.

Confusion at Palmeiras

NOSSO PALESTRA reported that opposition council member, José Corona Neto, harshly criticized the work of the Palmeiras president during the season, such as the high amount invested in signings to build the squad and the raised possibility of changing the statute for a third presidential term.

Furthermore, the council member stated that Leila Pereira inherited a championship-winning squad assembled by former director Alexandre Mattos and former president Maurício Galiotte.

After José Corona's speech, the president had the right to respond and stated that she would not accept being disrespected and would seek legal means to take action against the council member in court.

The meeting included a heated exchange between the president of Palmeiras and José Corona Neto, who had to be restrained by security and was removed from the event.

Repeated Situation

In 2014, José Corona Neto was involved in a controversy when he criticized Paulo Nobre's management through cell phone messages. The expulsion of the council member was discussed within the Deliberative Council at the time.
