Ennio Vivaldi, rector of the University of Chile, says he is concerned about the future of Azul Azul. The strongman of the house of studies assures that he does not know who is behind the new drivers.
The company that manages the operation, Sartor Finance Group, has just asked him for a meeting and he will be happy to listen, but you have several doubts and from now on it warns about some problems that the football team could encounter.
“We have to establish a very clear line in the responsibility that the university has and in that it will not give up. In short, in the agreement that was taken a few years ago (2007), the University of Chile was very well represented by the Dean of Law at the time, Professor (Roberto) Nahum, and both the symbols and the name Universidad de Chile belong to the university. Because of that intangible heritage we have two directors at Azul Azul. In a situation like this, we cannot intervene in the decision of who sells their shares and we have no interference in those who buy. The University of Chile is the most solemn and sacred institution of the Republic and what remains for us is to hope that this is done without generating problems and we hope that those who assume the responsibility of being owners of Azul Azul will have a conduct that does not generate conflicts with the university values. My wish is for him to come out as well as possible, it is not for me to prejudge. But of course, I would have liked to meet the buyers, “said Vivaldi in dialogue with El Mercurio.
“When you talk about football as a business, you will find many points with a clear conflict between the unregulated business. And it happened in all areas: in health, in education. But there are intrinsic values in health, education and sports as well. When this occurs in commercial transactions, it is our duty to ensure that our sports values prevail and are not misrepresented. You have touched on one of the most obvious conflicts, which is the conflict of interest. That is why it is so important to know what plans they have Profit is a horse that can easily run out of control. And the only way to avoid that is to have short reins. This is what advanced countries do so that profits do not run out of control and can be controlled. We must seek these faults rather than prejudge or anticipate that these absences will occur, “added the rector of the university.
“What tools does the university have if it does not satisfy the information about the new owners? The university does not have a mechanism to intervene in the commercial transaction, but it does have every right to say ‘well, under these conditions I do not accept the use of the name of the University of Chile’ and they will have to find another name, which is not I accept that the emblem of the U and the chuncho are used and I don’t know, maybe he will have to start in the third division. That would be seen in due course. The name of the university cannot be used without authorization “, Vivaldi closed.
