Carlos Galarza, a member of the board of the Ecuadorian Soccer Federation, confessed that there is a clear division in the board of directors of the national football governing body. He assured that legality is defended and that they have the support of most of the clubs and associations.
The manager was one of the members of the Board of Directors that appear before the Conmebol Ethics Commission, in the case of the dismissal of Frncisco Egas from the presidency of the FEF. The virtual appointment was to be held no later than May 14, 2020, but was postponed until Monday, May 18, 2020.
“They have opened a file for us at Conmebol. We don’t know the reason and it will help us defend ourselves,” Galarza said with surprise.
For now, international and national entities recognize Egas as the sole president of Ecuaf Fútbol. For this reason, Galarza assures that his group (that of the six members of the board that made the majority) they do not have the political or economic power, but yes with the support of most of the clubs.
This situation generates discomfort throughout the FEF. Galarza denounced that Gustvo Silikovich, secretary general of the agency, asked all area directors not to provide any documentation to any of the board members.
“They ask us at Conmebol to send them all the necessary documents for the case, but we cannot. It is very strange what happens with the secretary. At the headquarters there is a police receipt, “confessed the manager.
“The minutes have been hidden since July last year, when it was about Gustavo Silikovich … Protective action has been lifted and is not working. The freedom to deliver information has been curtailed, “he said.
Galarza assured that most of the information presented by Egas publicly is not true. IHe even branded him a liar.
“Francisco is a mythomaniac. Lies a lot. Tells half truths. He presented unsigned minutes and said how much managers earn. In my case, it is not true that I have received USD 12,000. This includes transportation and lodging. I do not receive all that … “, he clarified.
In addition, he confirmed his position that Egas manages the FEF as if it were a hacienda. He criticized that the Quito businessman had not asked for opinions on the biosafety protocol which was presented to the National Emergency Operations Committee (COE).
About the comments of Antonio valencia, assured that this is the player’s position. None of the managers pressured him to express himself in this way.
“It is said that we have spoken with Antonio Valencia to say all that against Egas, It makes us laugh because we are not like that, Valencia is a benchmark played in Europe and is not influenced by anything, “he explained.
He also referred to the case of ‘Floor 17’. He assured that Egas kept the videos, but then made them public.
“The 17th floor was handled absolutely by him (Francisco Egas). He didn’t even show me the videos, he said it was private and then he turned it over to a medium that he made public“he clarified.
