After a three-hour conciliation in civil court No. 11 of the Federal Capital, in which the representatives of the ruling party and the opposition of Boca Juniors participated, the parties did not reach an agreement and The elections that were scheduled for this Sunday, December 3 in La Bombonera were definitively suspended and without a date for completion.

Around 12 noon, the representatives of both lists appeared in court seeking to reach an agreement that would allow the members of the institution to vote this weekend, as scheduled. There were moments of tension and high-pitched conversations. . The ruling party proposed to vote, that a portion of the 13,500 members observed do so in a separate ballot box and that, with the result, it would be verified whether they had been incorrectly registered to proceed with the annulment. The opposition proposed that each party be questioned by an expert and that Justice add its own to carry out the cleaning of the registry. After almost three hours of the meeting, they went to an intermission room and finally the deal did not exist and the parties signed the minutes.

The ruling party, represented by the current general secretary and member of the Electoral Board Ricardo Rosicaand Walter Krieger, who accompanied Riquelme at his last press conferenceproposed that they be 3,660 members observed that they vote in a tent differentiated from the rest and that, depending on the difference in the vote, it would be resolved if they considered everything finalized this Sunday. The opposition, with Javier Medin (Macri’s trusted man and candidate for member of Ibarra’s list) and Sebastian Silvestri (member of the Electoral Board during Angelici’s eight years in office) at the head, concluded that they were 5,700 “irregular” members. The ruling party urged that those associates be the ones to vote separately, but the opposition refused that possibility.

At this moment, on the sixth floor of the Court Palace, it is being negotiated that two experts audit Boca’s electoral roll to agree on the number of irregular members. The only thing that can solve this mess is to reach an agreement and request a new conciliation. The utopia: that the settlement be expressi, between tonight and Friday, and the parties return to the court spontaneously to say “there is an agreement, we vote.” However, reality indicates that, in the best of cases, the elections could then be held on Sunday, December 17, marking an asterisk in the statute since it states that they must always take place in the first fortnight of the last month of the year. anus.

Everything indicates that Boca will appeal the precautionary measure tomorrow. On Wednesday, at the latest, the case will go to the Chamber, because there is 72 hours of margin for the parties. If the Chamber cancels the judge’s precautionary measure, the elections will be on the 17th. If it is maintained, we must wait for the substantive resolution of the judge, who has not yet worked on that part of the file. And with the logical procedural steps there will be no room for the polls to open this year.

In parallel to this conclave in the Courts, Boca denounced – through its Legal Department – the falsification of three signatures of the partners who demanded that the elections not be held on Saturday, December 2 due to the celebration of the Sabbath. before the National Criminal and Correctional Court No. 10. The resolution of Judge Ricardo Feliz Baldomar, in charge of the Criminal Contravention and Misdemeanor Court No. 22, gave rise to the request made by prosecutor Diego Espada to reschedule the votes.

It was striking that it was not the victims who filed the complaint but rather the members of the current board of directors. The notarial act presented indicated that three of the alleged complaining partners did not sign the document with which they requested to move the elections to December 3. This can be interpreted as a pressure maneuver by the ruling party on the opposition to give in to conciliation or it means that this dispute will add new chapters and any approach to an agreement has definitely ended.

Last Tuesday, Justice had ordered the elections to be suspended after a request from the opposition list headed by Andrés Ibarra and Mauricio Macriwho will face Juan Román Riquelme and Jorge Amor Ameal, applicants from the ruling party. Judge Alejandra Débora Abrevaya -sister of Sergio Abrevaya, president of GEN, a party that is part of Together for Change-, in charge of the National Court of First Instance in Civil Matters No. 11, filed a precautionary measure and decided this Tuesday to “suspend the act of elections” until “the situation of irregularities detected prima facie in the registry through the corresponding purging action” are defined.
