Casares allies plan impeachment vote during Carnival 🎭 | OneFootball

Tuesday (20th) in São Paulo was marked by the ongoing efforts of the persistent allied base of the ousted Julio Casares to try to avoid impeachment at the general assembly of members after the process was approved by the Deliberative Council last week.

The current topic is the scheduling of the members' assembly to decide Casares' political future. According to the Morumbi club's statute, the Council President, Olten Ayres de Abreu, has 30 calendar days to schedule the election. Members with up-to-date dues can vote, and only a simple majority of votes (i.e., 50.1%) is needed for the former president to know his fate.

If he resigns, Casares retains his political rights. He remains a councilor and can run for the 2029 election, in addition to holding positions in the Tricolor's board and securing his seat on the Advisory Council, a body of honorary members and cardinals where former presidents automatically become members.

Well, information coming directly from cell phone message groups formed by Casares' allies indicates that in recent days they discussed which date would be most opportune for scheduling the assembly. There was a consensus that it would be best to leave it until the end of the deadline. This generated two uncomfortable situations for them.

The first, logically, is if Abreu schedules the assembly for the 30th day after the impeachment, which is the limit allowed, it will coincide with the Carnival period. Coincidence or intentional? According to opposition voices, there is certainty that if this date is chosen, the club will inevitably be empty. Consequently, the chance for Casares to escape is greater...

Well, Abreu rushed to minimize the issue. He spread the word that it is nothing but a lie and plans to schedule the assembly for the second week of February, specifically between the 7th and 9th.

Quietly, Casares' supporters deny the opposition's claim that delaying the assembly as much as possible is to empty the voting. But they do not hide that the motivations are indeed to help the former president.

AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR heard from at least four sources consulted throughout this Tuesday, all close to the former president, that the 'delay' in scheduling the assembly is related to Casares' strategy to gather more evidence to confirm his infamous innocence of the corruption allegations. Something already promised for the Council election, but which ultimately did not materialize.

Regardless, the pressure against Casares and his allies continues from the fans, giving clear indications that, regardless of the plan, the former leader's future seems doomed to moral condemnation within the club. It remains to be seen if he will indeed want to risk it.
