Benfica AGM: members reject second proposal of the day | OneFootball

The members of Benfica voted to reject the new Electoral Regulation of the Club da Luz. The moment took place at the General Assembly, which has been much talked about. Remember that, earlier in the afternoon, the Report and Accounts of the emblem of the eagles had also been rejected.

The new electoral regulation had been proposed by the current Board of Benfica, led by Rui Costa. A total of 665 members voted, with only 30.14% in favor, against the 69.86% who declared themselves against the changes to the document that would govern the elections in the Club.

José Pereira da Costa, president of the General Assembly, ignored several requests to consider other proposals for the vote, explaining that the procedure being put into practice would be in accordance with Benfica's internal regulations.

The members of the eagles are now waiting for an official statement from the Club da Luz, detailing how the elections on October 25 will proceed. José Pereira da Costa had previously stated that, in the event of the electoral regulation being rejected, the 2021 document would be applied.

Remember that this was the second rejection of this General Assembly of Benfica, after the members also voted against the Report and Accounts. The day was also marked by some confrontations between members, and by some commotion felt when Luís Filipe Vieira spoke to the associates.
