“First of all, Barcelona needs stability, they are fighting on stage, they are three points behind the leader (Independiente del Valle) and I think they can win it. The club must be given stability in all aspects. Since you ask me that question again (I answer): ‘If someone wants to be a candidate, that is his right, Barcelona belongs to everyone; but being a manager in the board already gives you an advantage because you have a camera and you are always exposed, apart from managing the financial part and the membership committee, where you have direct contact with the members’. Therefore, one should be fair, objective, not mix things up, and if he (Rafael Verduga) wants to be a candidate, the first thing he must do, for ethical and moral reasons, is to resign from membership in the Membership Committee. naturally seeks. to manage it in his favor in order to capitalize on certain votes in favor,” said Álvarez, who ten months ago left the sporting vice-presidency of the Canarian club to compete in the sectional elections, which he won.

“And whoever is angry, let him be angry, whoever wants to be resented, let him be resentful. No one can use his position within the leadership to gain profit in his favor in any electoral contest. If a person has ethics, morals and blood on his face, he must be objective,” he added.

As for Alfaro Moreno, he stated that he insisted on taking part in the October elections again, as he believes that both Beto and Fabián Bustos “remained in the history of the club” as the leader and coach who “once and for all” won the match in 90 minutes at to its stadium in Liga de Quito.

“Rafael Verduga is the most likely candidate for the elections in Barcelona,” rejected Carlos Alfaro Moreno

“We have lunch practically once a week, with him and Xavier Salem, who is also a great friend of mine, with people from Barcelona, ​​with people who love each other. In those conversations, I insisted the most, but I don’t have to burden him. If he has another meaning in his heart, if he has another plan, you must respect him. Let’s see how it feels to finish the stage (Pro Serie A League Stage 1). If he doesn’t want to, surely other partners will be interested. Mr. Verduga has the right to be a candidate. As mayor I can’t get involved, I have to stay out of it, but of course my heart as a Barcelona fan will be that I’m aware that things are going well,” he said.

Carlos Alfaro Moreno was elected president of Barcelona SC on October 19, 2019 for the period 2020-2023. He won 59% compared to 41% of the votes won by List 2 of José Francisco Cevallos.
