San Lorenzo, before a key election to straighten out much more than its sports course: who are the presidential candidates?

There is one game more important than all the one played by the national team. At least in San Juan and Boedo, an emblematic corner related to Saint Lawrence. Or in Avenida La Plata, where an event will take place that could mark a break in the institutional life of the club. This Saturday, from 9:00 to 18:00, the elections will be held.

Yes, after so many demonstrations by fans, tired of the sporting and managerial debacle that ended with the resignation of Marcello Tinelli and a threadbare government in which Matthias Lammens It has given prominence to Horacio Arreceygor but has not ceased to be in the shadows, December 17 has been established as the key date. And five candidates will vie for power.

The new president of San Lorenzo will have to face an economic disaster that he tries to accept from Tinelli’s farewell, with a liability that was 4,627,387,631 pesos and had high contracts.

Football resumed Ruben Dario Insua, all thanks to a club kidney trainer. In a poor management at the sporting level, with eight coaches in the last four years, the Galician he survived the full season and qualified the team to the South American. In any case, he didn’t stop fans from loudly insulting the leaders in every Professional League match played at the Nuevo Gasómetro, a situation that ended up forcing early elections.
