Why does Horacio Rodriguez Larreta, a Racing fan, I congratulate Fabian Doman for his landslide victory in the elections in Independiente, over the official candidate? because he put an end to “It was Moyano”. And the greeting from the Head of Government of Buenos Aires is not a minor fact, since the journalist he won by heading the “Independent Unit” list, a list loaded with PRO referents and put together by one of its main political makers. Doman went out to try to deny it, but the congratulations from, among others, macrista referents such as Bullrich and Vidal are not accidental.
Doman was accompanied on the list by the mayor of Lanús, Nestor Grindetti, the president of the PRO deputies caucus, Cristian Ritondo (one of the shipowners) and the mayor of Tres de Febrero, Diego Valenzuela. all figures and referents of macrismo. In part, this is why some came out to say that the PRO prevailed in Independiente over one of the trade union figures close to Kirchnerism: Hugo Moyano, who, before the appearance of today’s winning list, had predicted in July an “attempt to advance of macrismo” within the club.
I never thought I would be happy for Independiente, but I am very happy with the result of yesterday’s elections. Congratulations to @fabdoman, @cristianritondo, @Nestorgrindetti, @marconijuan and the whole team, very happy for you, I wish you almost every success!

Hugo Moiano, in mid-2014, he had won the election accompanied by ritondo, one of those responsible for the unionist leaving the club overwhelmed today. And he remained for eight years as President of the institution, and tried to revalidate his place during the December elections that the Justice, due to the complaint of Doman, had suspended. It happens that Moyanism had tried to ban the current winning list through the club’s electoral board, which took the case to court, which ended up qualifying the journalist.
To the internal problems was added the disenchantment and anger of the members, who for months had been demanding that Moyanism enable the elections to “remove them from the club.” The economic and football problems were increasingly complicating the club’s ruling party and this was able to be taken advantage of by the macrismo. And one of Moyano’s main allies was the same one who, eight years later, structured the opposition that won him the elections: ritondo. Although Doman insist on wanting to deny it.

Independent Unit obtained more than 70% of the votes, in an election of historic participation in which 16,000 members attended to pay: a more than relevant participation for an election in a club in general. With this, the Assembly of Representatives will be constituted by 62 seats for Independent Unit, 15 for Independent People and 13 for Independent Group. Which makes it clear why so many PRO referents salute the new President of Independiente.
