By virtue of this fact, Diario La R, consulted the National Director of Constitutional and Legal Affairs of the Ministry of Education and Culture, Gastón Giannero, who said that everything arose when “partners of the institution denounced that the statutes were not complied with and elections and assemblies were called, in the functional the fiscal commission and the balances were not intervened, it was established in the statutory, as well as in the fifth article of the canon it was established that the club had to stay away from political and religious manifestations, it was not So”.
In addition, Giannero pointed out that “the partners also considered that the facilities could not lend themselves to these activities, adding to their complaint photos of different instances in which they understood that this article was being violated.”
In this sense, he said that “the ministry by virtue of these complaints proceeded to confer a hearing on the entity with the respective considerations, the club debates, disputes or differs on these observations about what the complainants affirm and the MEC makes the evaluation.
From there arises the report of the ministry, after the request for the social books, in which it was verified that the elections were not carried out in a statutory manner, that the minutes of the assemblies did not coincide with the minutes of the assembly that had been drawn up in document notarial verification that was different from what was collected in the assembly testimony of the book of the same.
For this reason, Diario La R contacted the Villa Española soccer player Santiago “Mustache” López, who declined to comment on this resolution and expressed that his preference was that “it is best to let justice do its thing.”
López, after the acts of violence and the intervention of the MEC in the club in which he plays, decided to permanently withdraw from professional activity, as confirmed to this medium.
Villa Española, for its part, issued a statement in which it stated that these events were of “extreme violence” and stated: “The Club is at a juncture that implies a resolute intervention by the Ministry of Education and Culture with the displacement of authorities, and a climate of extreme violence that has been enhanced after said resolution.”
The sleeve will reappear on the field and high-risk matches will be monitored
The Secretary of the Uruguayan Mutual of Professional Soccer Players, Mitchell Duarte, told Diario La R that for soccer to return, “the union requested that there be an escort to the campuses in the locker rooms to organize, prevent and be in charge of the security of the clubs. At this point, the Ministry of the Interior promised that this figure would be that of a police officer and not private security. The presence of a match delegate was also requested, who will be the one to carry out a preliminary analysis of the teams’ route to the locker room and will be close to the squad to deal with different problems that may arise.
Along these lines, he mentioned that “the sleeve will reappear on the field of play, video surveillance monitoring will continue for high-risk matches, we know that there are some teams that, due to different characteristics and backgrounds, are prone to starring in matches of this nature, as well as building reforms will be carried out in some sports venues that did not provide the necessary conditions to guarantee the safety of the campuses, for example the location of the changing rooms that in the case of the match between Cerro-La Luz, was a mitigating factor of what happened because the changer of La Luz was located in front of the fans of his rival”.
Duarte explained that “on the other hand, the Ministry of the Interior undertook to guarantee the security of the Villa Española campus due to the contractual situation that the institution is experiencing.” Likewise, the Mutual will have interference in the logistics organization of security, for which its representative will be appointed.
“This delegate will work together with the security inspector; On our part, we want them to be former soccer players, but not in all cases this pending will occur, we will decide it together with the AUF, which will be the one who rents this figure financially through a system that already has established travel expenses depending on the match.
Unemployment and TV rights
Regarding the reports that soccer was stopped due to the negotiations of television rights, he maintained that “we cannot lose sight of the fact that we are in a conflict with a hegemonic power of the media, we have been suing the company for a long time Tenfield SA, and we know that this generates a kind of intimidation and attack against each of the decisions that we make. I have no doubts about that. We know what the fights we have to give are and we are not unaware that 90% of the issues in football are reduced to a power struggle and television rights. We are clear at what time we will fight and against whom, but we do not accept that they want to link these situations without losing sight of these questions.
For his part, the head of the Interior portfolio, Luis Alberto Heber, estimated that he is working together with Sebastián Bauzá, and that from his ministry “the guarantees in the meetings requested by the Mutual” have been provided. Likewise, he stressed: “We have echoed that situation, we have a concrete plan to be able to tackle the remaining games. The Mutual made a firm statement and we are going to generate an operation to reassure the players, the leaders and the population itself that misfits in football have no place, ”he emphasized at a press conference.
Regarding the specific petition that unlocked the situation so that professional football could return, from the Interior portfolio they reported that “a police reinforcement was requested in these remaining matches and to monitor the situation that occurred with Villa Española, to see if This is circumstantial or it is permanent violence. We have given them the guarantees that we are going to have people from the police giving the players peace of mind, especially since they were the ones who suffered the threats”.
Santiago González: «Cameras inside and outside the fields»
Santiago González, Director of Coexistence of the Ministry of the Interior, in a conversation with Diario La R, stated that in order to prevent partials that have inappropriate behavior from entering sports venues, “they have been working well with facial recognition cameras and outside the fields ”.
