Luís Filipe Vieira brands Benfica assembly incident a "terrorist attack" | OneFootball

Luís Filipe Vieira accused João Noronha Lopes and João Diogo Manteigas of being responsible for the events that occurred at the General Assembly of Benfica last Saturday, September 27. The candidate for the Presidency of the club gave an interview to NOW where he discussed various topics about the elections.

"I already had experience with this, that small majority, which originates from Servir Benfica, is at the core of the candidacies of João Noronha Lopes and João Diogo Manteigas. It was an authentic terrorist attack what happened yesterday", Luís Filipe Vieira began to explain.

The candidate for the Presidency of Benfica continued: "People want to dominate Benfica through the AGs. These Assemblies have been manipulated. They encouraged a certain candidate to leave the room when I was going to speak".

"The radicals are on both sides. They want to convey that a minority controls and represents the opinion of the members, they are a noisy minority that doesn't count", Luís Filipe Vieira stated, who also spoke about manipulation of polls by Noronha Lopes and Manteigas.

He concluded with words about the voting process: "Electronic voting confuses me. Benfica talks about wanting more members (to vote) and then doesn't give them an opinion. The most important thing in Benfica's decisions is the participation of Benfica's members. We want to move towards more members and we have a project to reach 800,000 members".
