The ‘Servir Benfica’ movement reacted this Saturday to the decision of the General Assembly Board of the club to deny the request presented by the members Francisco Benítez, João Pinheiro and Nuno Leite for the counting of the votes of last day’s elections 28.
In a statement, quoted by the newspaper ‘A Bola’, the movement considers that “information was denied to the affiliates about the operation of the electronic voting system” and that there was “clear violation of the statutes by the Assembly Board. General of Sport Lisboa e Benfica ”.
“The Board of the General Assembly of Sport Lisboa e Benfica cannot declare itself incompetent to evaluate an application because it does not deal with a matter expressly expressed in the statutes and much less because it respects a process prior to taking office, in a flagrant fallacy legal that ignores the memory of the Government Bodies and, in the limit, it would prevent them from exercising their functions ”, they add.
This Saturday, let us recall, the MAG of Benfica denied the request presented by three club members for the public recount of the votes of the elections.
According to a statement issued today by the incarnate, the club argues that the MAG unanimously approved “not to respond to the request presented”, highlighting that “no irregularities or illegalities were detected that could endanger its validity and the concurrent lists did not present a challenge.
These three partners, Francisco Benítez, João Pinheiro and Nuno Leite, presented a few days ago a request that, among other measures, “the counting of all vote receipts be promoted in a public act and the count for the vote be recorded in the minutes. disclosure to members. ”.
According to the note made available through a online petition, this claim underlined the right of any partner to “supervise the way in which the elections proceeded from which the non-election suffrage of the list in which they voted or subscribed came” and “to limit the possibility that such control is exercised only by the incumbent elected corporate bodies, that is, those who hold the positions of the General Meeting ”.
Luís Filipe Vieira was elected for the sixth term in the direction of Benfica in the largest electoral event in the club’s history, where he obtained 62.59 percent of the votes.
