The definitive resignation of Marcelo Tinelli to the presidency, added to the institutional and sports problems of the resistance plus the exhaustion of the patience of the fans has produced an outburst Saint Lawrence. The Board of Directors had decided to bring the elections forward. And finally, the Assembly approved and formalized this Thursday that it will vote Saturday 17 December.

As a first measure, in the conclave held in Osvaldo Soriano’s press room, the green light was given to the 2020-2021 budget, which had already been approved by the management, and to the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 budgets. Then it was time to raise your hand for the election date. The six minority representatives moved and voted for October 29, but the 63 members of the ruling party opted for December 17, a year earlier than the elections should have been without a crisis situation.

Thus, with the day made official, in Boedo the political strandthe formation of the lists and, little by little, the electoral campaign.

How is the panorama four months after going to the polls?

The ruling party still has some internal meetings for its rearmament. There are certainties: Matías Lammens, vocal today, has already announced that he will not occupy any position on the list and will accompany from the outside. His focus will be on national politics (will he again run as head of the government of the city of Buenos Aires in 2023?). Horacio Arreceygor, today president after the resignation of Marcelo Tinelli, will not remain in the highest position.

Who will be the official candidate? There are no confirmations yet. One option might be to add an external face to leadership, as a way to refresh the image after recent erosive times. However, although there are already talks to incorporate people, the lead candidate would be from the leadership kidney.

Many want to increase the figure of Miguel Mastrosimone, confidant of Lammens, who today occupies the vice president and was mostly club secretary. But, as confirmed Clarione, Mastrosimone does not consider this the moment of its launch. This would pave the way Serge Constantinecurrent secretary of the Ciclón and civil servant of the city government since 2007 (today he is secretary of Social Inclusion and Immediate Attention.

Constantine, nicknamed who what, has a long way in the leadership of the Boedo institution and has been part of the leadership since the time of Carlos Abdo. He knew how to be mayor of the club and many emphasize his managerial skills.

For now, there are three opposition spaces that have confirmed their participation in the polls. One is to Cesare Francesco, lawyer and journalist, and current minority member on the Board of Directors. Francis was already a candidate and is determined to race with his group again Return to San Lorenzoeven if it is not closed to forging alliances as long as the same political north is shared.

Marcello Moretti, who was a member of the current leadership, is another of the faces of the opposition. The entrepreneur and lawyer resigned because he disagreed with the management of the club and revived the movement he called Boedo in action, with whom he had already competed in 2010. He joined businessmen such as Darío Coronel (in charge of managing the talent of the original productions of the Disney Latin America brand) and Néstor Navarro (businessman of refrigerators). And he has the support of myelism (from the former club president, Fernando Miele).

There will be a third opposition list. It is a front of groups that unite under the name of Always San Lorenzo. It consists of the following spaces: I Come From Boedo, San Lorenzo Order and Progress, With the Soul in Boedo, Soñar Boedo, Azulgrana Loyalty, Fan Subcommission, Boedo 365, San Lorenzo Identity, Federico Monti Movement, Azulgrana Blood and Passion, Fronte della Passion of Azulgrana and Reconstruction of San Lorenzo.

The pre-candidate unanimously chosen is the lawyer and the professor Sebastiano Couple, leader of the Barça Loyalty. In turn, they are in talks with the famous rice producer and businessman Cyprian Miguel Pommieswhich could occupy a preponderant place.

Everyone will have until October 17 to submit the lists. The campaign has already started with club visits and member talks and brochures on the pitch on game days. A politically moved end of the year is approaching in San Lorenzo.
