The presidential candidate for Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, Edgardo "Toto" Medina, submitted his electoral list with names of people who, it has been reported, did not give their consent to actively participate in the institution's political life. According to a source very close to the club, no one understood how journalist Simón Bordoni ended up on the official list, as he himself had publicly expressed that he had not given his approval to appear there. The appearance of unauthorized names not only raised alarms about the transparency of the process but also added tension to a campaign that was already weakened by poor leadership and misreadings of the club's social climate. With the electoral landscape becoming increasingly defined and most spaces already consolidating support, "Toto" Medina's future within Gimnasia's political life appears seriously compromised. If the challenge moves forward and the lack of authorizations is confirmed, his project could not only be out of the running but also be marked as one of the most controversial episodes in the electoral run-up for "El Lobo". "Nobody knew he was going to be on the list; I found out only when 'Toto' Medina published the list, at the last minute," indicated the source. The complete list of candidate Edgardo "Toto" Medina. Although the appearance of the journalist's surname caused "surprise", it was not taken as "displeasure" by the fans, due to his known affinity with the La Plata institution. From a political analysis, the same source indicated that the "Gimnasia Somos Todos" list, headed by Medina, would barely reach 5% of the vote, placing it last in the club's presidential elections. "After his comments about the match against Platense, several members asked for his membership card to be revoked... the people were very angry. From that episode, his unfortunate phrase became his Achilles' heel on the way to the elections. Legally, the list being challenged is not ruled out. It was thought that Platense was going to play the match to the death, but Gimnasia won 3-0 and everything came to nothing.
