Club Deportivo Morón Condemns Political Attacks on AFA President

Club Deportivo Morón, as an autonomous and self-governing entity, responds exclusively to the interests of its membership, and it is the Honorable Board of Directors of the institution that advocates for these interests. At the club, we know how to face difficulties without putting the institution at risk. For this reason, we will not tolerate members of our community, specifically from political circles, taking on attributes and assuming a competence that does not correspond to them at all. The councilor for the Radical Civic Union, Rolando Moretto, along with non-officialist blocs, committed a reprehensible act by presenting a resolution project to declare the president of the Argentine Football Association, Claudio Tapia, a persona non grata. Matters concerning our club are resolved by our club, with people from the club, and with the tools provided to us by the Statute, which is nothing more or less than our Magna Carta. We repudiate the statements of Councilor Moretto, which do nothing more than tarnish our name and our institution. Given his clear political intentions, we invite him to do politics in the appropriate arenas, since he is not even a fan or a member of Morón. For this, as established in its Statute, there are elections and representatives are chosen. And let the club's matters be resolved by the club. Because although the pain still lasts, we will never put personalism ahead of the institution. Those of us who pass through the club every day know how to deal with each inconvenience intelligently. As we have always done and as we always will. In its statement, the club also condemned the actions of those seeking political profit. In turn, artist and club fan, Milo J, also criticized the refereeing in the match against Deportivo Madryn and pointed to decisions that, in his view, harmed 'El Gallito' in a controversial clash. According to Argentine News Agency, Milo J stated that 'there was a quite questionable refereeing performance, obviously in favor of Deportivo Madryn' and maintained that the rival's goal came after 'a free kick that was not'. The musician described what happened as something that impacted him due to its severity and emphasized that 'what happened was terrible', in line with the widespread complaint among fans. Milo J also assured that 'strange things are happening' and that the situation within the tournament presents signals that, for him, are impossible to ignore.
