Lammens has resigned and hopes that elections will be called again in San Lorenzo

Just over a month ago, the partners of Saint Lawrence they should have elected their new authorities. But early elections scheduled for December 17 were suspended hours before they began due to a resolution by the General Inspection of Justice (IGJ) in response to a complaint filed by a shareholder who happens to be a member of the assembly on one of the opposition lists. From there, everything has been left fuzzy and the vote is on track to be in December of this year unless there is one leadership acephaly. In this sense, Matthias Lammensformer president and former deputy of the Boedo club and current member, presented his resignation from the Assembly ad referendum. Will other leaders follow him to advance the election?

It’s been a while since he Cyclone lives in a turbulent political climate. Since the license and subsequent resignation of Marcello Tinelli to the presidency that the Barça institution assumed in January 2020 has been involved in leadership fluctuations and many internal movements. Until it was decided to hold elections a year before the end of the current management it has Horace Arreceygor as the occupant of the main position.

Lammens was the one who marked that path in 2022 with a public letter communicated through his social networks in which he expressed that the best thing to do was “pacify the club” Y “revalidate mandates”. He in turn advanced in that letter that his cycle in San Lorenzo, an entity presided over by him for two consecutive periods, was finished.

However, when everything was set up on the Avenida La Plata property at 1700, the members could not vote. The IGJ has given rise to a complaint filed by the partner Roberto Gagliardowho was indicated as a candidate for assembly no. 42 in the list of Always San Lorenzothat must Cipriano Pommi as a candidate.

Said group withdrew from the issue in a statement and expelled this person from its ranks. From other opposition groups they suspect that everything was a move by the ruling party to kick off the elections.

What happened? The IGJ ruled that the extraordinary elections were badly called, since beyond the resignation of Tinelli and some members this was not enough to decree the absence of a head and the club could maintain its government with the rest of the CD as it was composed.

Now, Lammens, with these resignations which will become effective only if the Assembly approves them, seems to want to pave the way for others to follow. and that in this way early elections can be called correctly. In the meantime, the Minister of Tourism and Sport of the Nation continued these months linked to the Cyclone Approach to sponsors and participation in market negotiations.

In any case, some opponents view this maneuver with suspicion. “This is not a resignation; he’s a jerk. If you want to resign, do it, period. What does it mean to resign under the acceptance of the Assembly? Does not exist. And, in any case, the resignation should be approved by the integrating body, ie the Board of Directors. What he is looking for is to get rid of the suspension of the elections”She said Caesar Francissole minority member and candidate a Let’s go back to San Lorenzo.

In Lammens’ circle they argue that by resigning in this way, elections could be called at the same time, since if others did the same, headlessness would occur by then without the club being operationally headless.

Marcello MorettiFor his part, the main candidate of Boedo en Acción, has presented a petition for the resignation of the members of the CD and the president of the Assembly so that the elections can be called as soon as possible. Other partners have made presentations at the IGJ with the same goal.

For now, there is no date for the Assembly, nor is it known whether other leaders are willing to follow in Lammens’ footsteps. In the meantime, members are waiting to hear when they will be able to vote.
