CONI presidency, the agreement is missing. Malagò: “Just the presidents have a candidate”

On June 26, the CONI election date at the Olympic Acetosa water preparation center in Rome, it is still far away. June 5 is the deadline for submitting the applications, but the situation is currently quite complex. This afternoon the presidents of the Federations found themselves again at the Coni. The meeting of Palazzo H, which follows that of April 14, also attended Giovanni Malagò who, although officially will always have to have a super partes position, it is clear that in the end he will try to make the package of votes weigh that his loyalists could make convergence on the candidate chosen by the majority of the Federals. To date, the new president should leave the three people candidate so far: the now former president of the Paralympic Committee Luca Pancalli (in his place the favorite for the elections always of June 26, seems to be the current president of the bowls Marco Giunio De Sanctis), the number one of the Federcanoa Luciano Buonfiglio and the former sailor Ettore Themes. There would also be Diana Bianchedi, who showed the intention to participate in the “race” in the Gazzetta, but has remained so far in the window.

“The feedback is positive after my announcement, I go on convinced. There is the need not of a discontinuity, but of a path of path that you try to put all together. The sports family has always been united and we must leave this electoral competition, which is not a war, in a united way”, the words of Pancalli, before today, which lasted two abundant hours. A meeting that instead, according to Buonfiglio, “has strengthened” his position.

What about Malagò? “It is right that the federal presidents have a person who is a candidate, it is a common sense speech – he says -. Anyone of the federal presidents will apply will be taken into consideration. But today there are no others and therefore I am the obvious”. In practice, Malagò awaits new nominations (even if it seems that Bianchei does not enthusiastically enthusiasm), but if the elections were today he would support Buonfiglio.

The n.1 of the Tennis and Padel Federation, Angelo Binaghi, who has always been against the management of Malagò, does not send them to say as soon as he left the meeting. “They tried to force their hand with Buonfiglio who was Vice -President of Pagnozzi the night before and then the day after Malagò. This is discontinuity? The president must have a story that is a guarantee of everyone. I know who I will not vote. The guarantees must be given to the presidents of being able to express their opinion without ending up in front of the Public Prosecutor’s Office or to the Guarantor of the ethics. We do not apply, we are only here to observe if there will be the conditions to return to deal with cones “. Even the president of Federbasket Gianni Petrucci invokes “discontinuity with the past. We must demonstrate it to the government. I do not make names. Today the elections must be of a president who brings discontinuity”. Meanwhile, in the next few days Buonfiglio will present his draft program to colleagues. “So I will be able to receive suggestions from them – says the n.1 of the Italian Kayak Canoe Federation -. Mine will be everyone’s program”. In short, it is hunting for votes. The Buonfiglio-Pancalli challenge is without a favorite and does not seem to warm up the heart of the federals who probably await a name that can agree.
