On that occasion, Wednesday, March 23, was left aside for a matter of form, since it had been requested by the AFA when the one that must do it is the Executive Committee of the LPF.
The challenge was carried out by the Appeals Committee shared by AFA and LPF, but in the same act that body also vetoed the one that had been originally proposed, which was on Thursday the 31st of next month.
And this was so because although March 31 had been set by the LPF, it had not been done through its Executive Committee, as corresponds statutorily, but rather its president Tinelli had proposed it unilaterally.
However, within the Executive Committee of the LPF, the idea of sustaining March 31 as the definitive date of the electoral act survives through its request, now formalized before the Electoral Committee.
In the meeting held at the Hilton hotel in Puerto Madero, they were present 16 clubs that signed the note in person, and were Lanús, Rosario Central, Colón, Barracas Central, Argentinos Juniors, Defense and Justice, Independiente, Platense, Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, Huracán, Unión, Newell’s, Aldosivi, Sarmiento, Arsenal and Central Córdoba, from Santiago del Estero.
For their part, Students from La Plata, Board of Trustees, from Paraná and Godoy Cruz, from Mendoza sent the digital signature.
The clubs that were not present at the meeting were: River Plate, Boca Juniors, San Lorenzo de Almagro, Atlético Tucumán, Banfield, Vélez Sarsfield, Talleres, Córdoba, Racing Club and Tigre.
In this way, all roads lead to an upcoming electoral act, which in principle would have two visible candidates, one proposed by the LPF and the other by the AFA, which today represents the split that exists between the two entities.
On the LPF side, the proposed candidate is the head of Velez, Sergio Rapisardaenrolled in the “Tinelli” bloc that today, with Tinelli aside, is supervised by the president of Banfield, Eduardo Spinosa (obviously for this reason the three clubs they represent were absent today).
While in the AFA they have the president of Argentinos Juniors, Christian Malaspinaas the proposed candidate to succeed Tinelli at the head of the Professional League.
“Marcelo Tinelli’s attitude of representing the Professional League in such a disorderly manner and with such indifference is a shame”one of the participants in the Hilton meeting confided to Télam this afternoon.
The note that will be presented to the Electoral Commission of the AFA will request a Committee with electoral force to establish the date of the elections, and since there are more than 15 who signed, they have a majority to invoke the current statute of the Professional League and remove from office Tinelli.
Likewise, in the letter signed by the leaders they express their dissatisfaction with the situation in the Professional League, the total lack of meetings and projects for this season and the repeated absences of Tinelli in face-to-face meetings, noting that he usually intends to hold them by Zoom.
For all this, the coming month will be key to the future of a Professional League that today has 28 clubs participating in its first division championship, not much less than the 30 that were part of the competition in 2015 based on a proposal that left as a legacy Julio Grondona.
