After Gómez’s resignation, Aprevide will work on autopilot until an appointment

So unexpected was the resignation of Gustavo Gomez on Keep, that the Buenos Aires Ministry of Security was unable to communicate the departure and announce the replacement in the same notice. The office of Executive Secretary of Agency for the prevention of violence in sport is vacant and there will be no interim replacement: operations will be planned according to the historical dynamics of the organization, based on teamwork.

The operations are organized by habits and customs, but what if a contingency arises that requires an out-of-script decision? “Aprevide is one more sector of the Ministry and Sergio Berni is responsible for it”explain to Clarione from La Plata.

That is why the matches that took place in the Buenos Aires territory last weekend and those scheduled for the end of this weekend will be held in a kind of automatic pilot: without a responsible owner and by the joint work of a team. And the protection of Berni, of course.

The second date Professional football championship It will start on Thursday but Aprevide will be operational only on Friday. There will be four: in silver from Gymnastics vs. Foundation Board; in Lano for the meeting of Garnet before Defense and Justice; in Mar del Plata, by Aldosivi – Students; It’s inside Avellaneda from Independent – Workshop.

The next executive secretary will have a profile that fits a preaching from Minister Berni: involve each club in the work of Aprevide. What does it mean? In practice, the decisions taken by the Agency must be accompanied by the leaders.

In other words, if an institution wishes to open the stadium to the public and visitors, it must offer a series of guarantees for the agency to grant permission. “The club that cannot control its fans cannot have a hearing,” the minister said in March, and herein lies the key to what is to come.

With a few exceptions, it will soon pass nine uninterrupted years without visiting fans, a measure not unknown since it began to be used as a variable in 2006. In mid-2015, clubs were released from the responsibility of preparing the admission right to prevent the entry of barrabrava and avoid possible reprisals. This was left in the hands of the security agencies of each district.

From Berni’s point of view, in this paradigm shift, clubs have ignored the problem while proliferating factions that establish power in the only moment they can take the field: when your team plays at home.

“Security is everyone’s responsibility, not the police on weekends. We have to have that debate. How do you build security for a football match? What is the role of the clubs? They are there to anticipate that discussion,” reveals a source of He opened up on a fundamental aspect in the face of the will of the Argentine Football Federation and the definitive return of the host public and not exceptionally.
