The Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC) ordered this Thursday to intervene the Villa Española sports club, in order to displace its authorities by calling new elections in the short term, while purging the social register.
Additionally, the portfolio in charge of Minister Pablo Da Silveira wants to regulate the use of social networks by the sports team.
This intervention is given in response to a group of former leaders who stated that, at a given time, the club did not call elections within the terms stipulated in the internal regulations, while no assemblies were held to approve the memory and balance of the organization, as published Telenoche.
Leandro Iglesias was appointed as auditor for the process.
They would regulate their public demonstrations
The club, which plays in the Second Division after being relegated in the last championship, has recently caused controversy for using its social networks to make social claims, and some voices have even accused it of making demonstrations that border on politics.
One of the cases, for example, is that in the Obdulio Varela stadium you could see a large poster that read “Never again”, which is the slogan of the social struggles against State terrorism, the dictatorship and for the search for the disappeared detainees.
Their players also came to wear shirts with photos of the disappeared, and some of the players -in a personal capacity- campaigned in favor of the “Yes” in the last referendum against the Urgent Consideration Law (LUC).
