Jorge Enrique Vélez maintained his position in the Dimayor presidency. However, the extraordinary assembly, of an ordinary nature that took place virtually yesterday, also ratified the division that the entity lives.
The president’s report was approved with 19 in favor and 17 against. And the financial statements passed with 21 votes in favor and 15 against, which shows the division of the entity, caused by the accusations to Vélez for the lack of management.
Those who oppose him reproach him for the failed business of international television that was signed for $ 60 million and the alleged irregularities of the companies that were presented to handle the covid-19 protocol.
The event began with the legal questions that it asked the Envigado FC assembly, a team that suggested that the ordinary assembly that was suspended on March 11 last should be continued and not make a new one, taking away Propositions and Miscellaneous, a point that allowed for discussion of the continuity of Jorge Enrique Vélez in his position. Equity and Patriots joined his complaint.
In the act, which lasted 11 hours, it was concluded that none of the companies that presented themselves to handle the health protocol in the covid-19 meets the requirements. Each Club must contract individually and the doctors from the Federation and the Ministry of Health will endorse the processes.
As for the international television contract, which was sold for $ 60 million, Jorge Enrique Vélez defended himself. According to Francisco Henao, a journalist from El País, from Cali, the leader said he was not guilty because the contract was drawn up by the lawyers and approved by the assembly.
In sports, 7 players were approved in the substitute banks and 5 changes in the matches when the tournaments restart.
As for the championship system, approved on Friday by the Competition Board, it was not ratified due to statutory issues, which forces a new extraordinary assembly in the coming days.
What was approved was the return also of the B and the completion of the Women’s League.
The assembly is called extraordinary of an ordinary nature due to the extemporaneity and because it must retake those that could not be held in the ordinary.
César Guzmán (Patriots), Fernando Salazar (Eagles), Eduardo Méndez (Santa Fe) and Carlos Mario Zuluaga (Equity) asked for Vélez to resign in the assembly.
