The elections in Boca as a background: Riquelme vs Macri

The candidate for vice president of Boca, Mauricio Macripresented a brief this Thursday at the Electoral Commission to report alleged irregularities in the groups that make up the ruling party’s listheaded by Juan Román Riquelme as candidate for president and Jorge Amor Ameal as first vice president.

One of these groups is “I’m Bostero”which Riquelme founded in the middle of last year, of which it was reported that approximately 10,000 endorsements that were presented for its officialization They were not certified before a notary publicso he should not be allowed to participate in the elections on December 2.

As for two other groups, “For a Better Mouth” y “Xeneizes forever Boca”it was reported that they are not allowed to participate according to Article 16 of the General Election Regulations, which establishes that “the electoral status of the groups will automatically cease when they stop participating directly during two consecutive elections or four alternately.”

“For a Better Boca” was not part of the club’s elections in 1999, 2011, 2015 and 2019; while “Xeneizes por Siempre Boca” did not appear for the elections in 2003, 2011, 2015 and 2019, so they would be left out of this year’s elections, 2023.

However, the opposition does not see it as very feasible for the complaint to succeed, since the Electoral Commission is made up of three members of the ruling party: the club secretary, Ricardo Rosica; the treasurer, Carlos Montero and a voting member appointed by the Board of Directors, Sebastián Rodríguez.

It is not the first time that the Buenos Aires government has had short circuits with the Boca leadership due to the closure of the stadium.

In February of this year, the South Grandstand of La Bombonera was closed preventively, due to alleged “building deficiencies” and to rule out “potential security risks.”

The resolution was taken at that time by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the City following the investigation initiated ex officio by the Special Prosecutor’s Office for Mass Events on January 29.

The Criminal, Contravention and Misdemeanors Court No. 1, headed by Doctor Rodolfo Ariza Clerici, defined the preventive closure of the sector to complete the expertise and inspections on site.

The experts in charge of the procedure considered that there were “certain building deficiencies and deficiencies combined with an excess of public, constitute a dangerous situation.”
