After a troubled year and, above all, after a very hot week in the Association of Spanish Soccer Players, the question that the whole world of football is asking at the moment is: And now that? Inside AFE, they are clear, continue the work that the union is performing at all levels in a crucial moment (ERTE, salary reductions, protocols, concentrations …) once David Aganzo, its president, has achieved recompose your Board with the appointments of Marrero (Fuenlabrada) and Javi López (Villarrobledo) and has straightened his damaged figure as a result of the confession of a former worker as Antonio Saiz tobribery him. In the opposition there is more debate. On the one hand, there are the rebels of the Board (Jesule, Xavi Oliva, Queco Piña and Armando Lozano), who are continuing with their signature collection plan to promote in a second attemptor another motion of censure. And on the other, Morientes and those who try to convince him that a large part of Spanish football was demanding that I take the step forward as a man of consensus.
The short term times in this civil war in the union critics will mark with Aganzo. In the statutes of AFE there is no article that specifies the possibility of a motion of censure. Yes pick the option that if the 10% of affiliates (there are already almost 11,000) requesting the convening of a Extraordinary assembly, they can include as one more point on the agenda vote for the resignation of the current president with the aim of call an election. They could attend how many candidates they want it as long as they comply with the regulations. This is the way that the Parallel joint which has been organized since August, with Xavi Oliva as leader, tried last summer and that could not be done. They presented 1,107 signatures but 493 of them were invalidated due to defects in form or because they were eventually revoked because some reversed. Now, the intention of the rebel side is to return to the charge. In fact, it is already collecting signatures. The collection could finish and become official at the moment in which the de-escalation phases allow the interested parties visit the different changing rooms with the intention of bringing together all possible supports so that what happened ten months ago does not happen again.
Yes this would happen, the AFE Board would have 30 days ahead to study and analyze each signature, with a notary involved. Then I would have until another month more, according to the statutes, for call that Extraordinary Assembly. Therefore, if events were to precipitate already, that summit could be held at end of July. Never before. There, any item on the agenda would be approved or denied by simple majority, as always. If the petition for elections to go ahead, the electoral process could unfold in August, although with the terms of claims and others, everything indicates that until September nothing could be done. In case of not prosper this kind of motion of censure, Aganzo could continue as AFE President until June 2021. So, yes, he would resign formally to call elections. And it would be then when the current leader decided whether to run for re-election, while the opposition should clarify if it is presented unified with Morientes in the lead or if, in case this doesn't wait until then, it's Xavi Oliva or even Queco Piña the candidate.
Each protagonist of this story is doing their inquiries and analyzes during this weekend about what has happened in the last days. More than anything because the appearance on the scene of Morientes has misled everyone. A majority thought that, due to being currently LaLiga Ambassador, It was about a thebes movement in the shadows in his plans to tuck Casillas towards the Federation. However, the calls on Thursday from Morientes to members of the opposition to Aganzo, who were closely related in the past with Rubiales, made us think that the play enjoyed the endorsement of the Federation. The former Madrid striker himself has already made it clear that he is independent and yesterday He confirmed to AS that he is thinking everything “with calm and perspective”. His idea is that all this be resolved “with a short process so as not to aggravate the disunity” of the footballer. And that is difficult.
