There is no peace in the Barcelona Sporting club until the Ministry of Sports accepts the registration of the new management, which will be led by businessman Aquiles Alvarez Henriques. Amidst the Canarians’ wait, Administrative Vice President Raúl Chávez Núñez del Arco revealed on Thursday that they were under pressure from lawyers from this state portfolio.

Even today, after 24 hours, the ministry reacted and asked to reveal the name of the Barcelona associate who was invited to the discussion on the legalization of the members of the new board.

Because of this wait, Antonio Alvarez and his task force have had problems closing club recruitments, pre-season planning and Yellow Nights.

‘Chimichurris players will not come to this Barcelona SC, only those who are competitive’, says president Antonio Alvarez

“We had two meetings with the ministry: the first in Samanes Park and the second directly with the minister (Andrés Guschmer Tamariz) in Quito. That day, the minister introduced us to the lawyer Julio Escobar, who was or is in charge of registering the directors. At that meeting, we explained why the list should be registered and that those points (the nine that were sent for correction) that they asked for again have no basis,” commented Chávez.

“They agreed with us at that moment and we arranged a meeting with the lawyers so that there would be no problems. That meeting was held with Mr. Escobar; and in his opinion all the requirements have been met. Oh surprise! The next day, at night, before the end of the year, the same man called our lawyers in a drunken state to put pressure on us, and he had already told us to obey the law. On that basis, we obviously filed an appeal. Those audio recordings of those calls exist. “We will not allow anyone to pressure us,” added the leader.

To resolve this controversy, the ministry released a statement on its social media and requested: “In the interest of maintaining transparency, we call on Mr. Chávez to provide the name of the club lawyer with whom he claims the above-mentioned official communicated, who is no longer connected as of today with this ministry, as well as publishing and denouncing, without cuts and editions, the sound (recording of the call) that they claim has their power.” (D)
