Irene Lozano: “The decision to disqualify Tebas can be made at any time”

Irene Lozano, Secretary of State for Sports, cleared up the main doubts surrounding the start of LaLiga of professional football, the return of the public to sporting events, the investigation of the president of LaLiga and above all, the return of non-professional sports competitions. Cadent theme throughout the day on Wednesday. Did it in The spar of Cadena SER.

You already know when LaLIga starts: “The fans will be happy and it is the obligation of the authorities to provide this security. Probably it could have been resolved earlier.”

I thought it would be up to the CSD to decide: “We did not think that we would have to respond to you. It is a very complicated matter on Mondays and Fridays and when I got to office I was already prosecuted. We know that on October 6 there will be a very important process. Our position is to wait for the courts “.

I do not agree with LaLIga and FEF: “It is something we have tried to advance. In football there is a serious problem that reduces the power of our sport and a lot of energy is spent in absurd battles. By leaders who are sometimes not aware of what it is to run large institutions. We get the Pactos de Viana, close the 2019-2020 season. We would like their effect to last longer. “

The Pacts of Viana are finished: “I will not be the one to say that it is finished but the tensions and the spirit are very dissolved.”

Paz Tebas-Rubiales: “League-Federation peace is possible in the long term or in the medium term. The culture of agreement is lacking. They will have to be capable and will have to consider whether they provide a good service to football or not.”

Approximate date of return of the public to the stadium: “Very complicated right now before the end of the year. The show lacks heat, the excitement of the spectators. Everything indicates that it starts without an audience. The pandemic evolves unexpectedly and within a month or two you can think of something else.”

Measures requested by LaLiga for Matchday 2: “There are many people who say things in the communiqués and then they do not move on to administrative acts. If they choose the conflict there can be no agreement and they chose the conflict. I am very discouraged to mediate an act that has already been prosecuted“.

Request for resignation of Irene Lozano: “I distinguish a PP who have not contributed anything good in Congress but this afternoon we have closed with CC AA led by the PP who have stepped up. I stay with that PP.”

CSD tension and Federations. “It was not our most fortunate statement and what we wanted to say was not understood. We cannot put athletes to play sports without taking tests and when, where and how many have to be for health reasons.”

Athletes' health risk for not doing PCR: “They are made in the CARs according to certain conditions. I think that the protocol and the agreement protect the health of athletes and public health.”

How is the agreement: “The CSD recommends that a PCR be done before starting the competitions, but Health is asked to tell us when these tests should be done. It is recommended from the CSD's point of view.”

Audience number: “In all non-professional sports it has been established that the CSD recommends that there be no public, but the CC AA can allow 500 people in closed spaces and up to 1,000 outdoors, and all maintaining all the measures. We have also offered to put part of the money. Also some communities. I see a spirit coming to terms “.

Competitions in a bubble: “We have to get used to living with positives. We have to know that the positives are going to appear, and try to affect the competitions as little as possible. The protocols try to limit the risk and tell us how to act if there is a positive“.

Enemies: “It is not doing me a favor to be considered Minister of Sports, I am president of the CSD. I don't have that feeling of enemies, I think the day we managed to bring all the communities and federations to an agreement … Yes, we make decisions and there are people who don't like them. “

Fuenlabrada case: “The FEF and Laliga have to be the first to ensure that everything is done well and when on August 26 the TAD decides that LaLiga has jurisdiction, there is also the judge of the FEF. So we find that on August 26 closed in false. Reprehensible behaviors must be punished and that cannot remain that way. Information about the alleged links between LaLiga and Fuenlabrada began to be known, we consider that the Prosecutor's Office will investigate it. “

Disabling Thebes: “We are working on a complaint that Deportivo filed at the administrative level and we have coerced a file and the president can be disqualified. It is being studied.”

Sports: “You have to separate the problems. There is a case that is the alleged links of the president of LaLiga with a club and that has nothing to do with Depor.”

Health at risk due to the Fuenlabrada trip: “The president took it on his responsibility but we have focused more on the links that may lead to conflicts of interest.”

Son of Thebes, Fuenlabrada lawyer: “It is not the most exemplary. Some links that arouse a suspicion of doubt and the league's statutes ask that these types of things be taken care of. The leader of this institution could not arouse this type of doubts.”

Rubiales, president of the RFEF: “It seems to me good that all the presidents who are elected I facilitate them. My relationship with the Federation is better now than when I started.”

Five players, first team: “I do not know the fine print of the protocol but until I know that it is not like that. The protocol has been expanded and improved in the 2020-21 campaign.”
