Figo responds to Blatter’s election – Luis Figo reacted quickly for re-election on Friday, Joseph Blatter for the presidency of FIFA (the world governing body of football).
Release:
“This vote served only to endorse the election of a man who can not keep ahead of world football. Contrary to what Mr. Blatter said, the events of last Wednesday not stain football, stain FIFA and the officials who led the organization until now. Football is not guilty of the leaders of the governing body that should not have regular integrity or character.
You can not lead the FIFA making a clean sweep of the most elementary rules of transparency, legality and democracy. They were not satisfied, as denounced and it was found.
Or Mr. Blatter knew and condoned acts of corruption and influence peddling, or, if he did not know – as he says – is because it has no capacity to lead the FIFA. There is no other way to see the problem.
In the face of so much evidence, that the primary responsibility for FIFA to have gotten to this point has been re-elected and says how the organization is ill.
Today was another black day in Zurich. Lost FIFA but above all lost football and all those who truly care about him.
Heartbreaking and cynical reaction of Mr. Blatter when he says he can not control everyone. Offends the intelligence of all of us. It was these people he has promoted for years and that with him, made FIFA what it is today, a decaying body.
If Mr. Blatter is minimally cared about football, I would have given up to present for reelection. If you have a minimum of decency, will have to resign in the coming days.
I regret nothing. I struggled, I persisted, endeavored to me by the regeneration of an organization that has to change course. We live in an emergency situation and football is the main harmed by the current situation.
What I did was report what I experienced directly. Would I do it and remain available to help FIFA to rebuild it all this. ”
