The latest meeting of Los Blancos stakeholders approved changes in the club’s statutes in a bid to ensuring greater transparency for future presidential candidates.
Real Madrid club members approved changes in statutes, tightening standards to ensure greater transparency in eligibility for candidates who wish to apply for the president’s post.
From now on, anyone who aspires to rule the White entity shall certify that he/she is an old partner for at least twenty years, twice as long than it was stated in the policy before.
Additionally, the members also gave their approval for hardening the conditions that accompany the bank guarantee that is required for a candidate. The Sports Act provides that candidates for a club must provide a guarantee of minimum fifteen percent of
the budget, adding that the monies cannot come from a corporation.
From these changes in the statutes, it is imperative that, in addition to ensuring fifteen percent of the budget, applications will also take into account the personal assets of the applicant as sole and exclusive warranty.
President Florentino Perez stated that these new provisions will safeguard the Santiago Bernabeu outfit from outsiders and third parties having a say in the running of the club. The construction magnate was referring to wealthy tycoons who have presented
themselves for election.
"We just avoided a third party comes to endorsing another guy," Perez said.
The other striking point to come from the general meeting was the introduction of postal voting. In the next election for president, and as now amended the bylaws, vote by mail before a notary authority will serve to certify the identity of the club’s member,
a loophole that was used by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ramon-c30533 Calderon for the prized seat in the White house.
The members present approved changes with 997 votes in favour, 100 against the suggestion and 15 absentees. After the modifications, the postal ballot received 1031 votes in favour, 100 against and 15 abstentions of the 1214 total who attended the event.
Before voting in the first round of questions and answers, some members were against the new measures adopted subsequently. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Raul-c30652 Meseguer led the voice against it, claiming that he does not approve of security of the system that will be put in place.
He claimed that the current mechanisms are in order, whilst adding that modifying the postal vote would only serve to add fuel to fire the situations Real Madrid have experienced in the past.
