Franco: “The decision is fair”

Jose Manuel Franco, Secretary of State for Sports, has spoken about the suspension of two LaLiga matches on the microphones of “El Partidazo de COPE”.

War: “I am not going to enter this war. I am not going to judge these disqualifications. I think the decision is fair applying current legislation. The problem that I think does not lend itself to the bottom of the problem is that the calendar was approved on June 27. Subsequently, on August 13 there is a FIFA circular that modifies its own calendar. It is an unforeseen modification. Change the general framework of the competition. We have the obligation to intervene by proceeding with the postponement. Faced with such a situation, the situation is not similar to the previous ones. Later on, the courts will be there to determine if we have acted in justice. There are players who are being subjected in situations that are difficult to endure. In the Tebas-Rubiales confrontation we have not attended the last chapter “.

Situation: “It is an unprecedented event and in the face of a situation that has arisen, we have acted.”

Africa Cup: “When the calendar is approved, it is already known that there are clubs that are going to lose players.”

CSD suspend a match: “We believe so. Faced with this situation, we have requested legal reports that support this decision and I believe that we are competent.”

Thebes-Rubiales: “I have not spoken with them. My relationship with Rubiales does not have to change. We are trying to act with maximum transparency and with the utmost rigor.”

Act in the background: “The precautionary is due because the matches were to be held on Saturday. We do not intend to act in the background. If the allegations are correct, it could change. The matches need a minimum of time.”

Measures: “They are precautionary measures and they have this situation.”
