Pedro Rocha’s last bullet to preside over the RFEF after the National Court denied the precautionary measure against his disqualification

It may be a few days, or a few hours, but Pedro Rocha He is firing his last bullet to try to once again preside over the Royal Spanish Football Federation after the Central Contentious Court number 2 of the National Court has denied him the precautionary measure against his disqualification.

The judge Luis Alfredo de Diego In its order, it weighs the circumstances of granting or not granting the suspension and the damages that could be generated from one decision or another. In his appeal, Rocha He has already submitted a sworn statement in which he expresses his desire to participate in the elections.

Thus, in the order, the damages to third parties of suspending the disqualification and obtaining Rocha his purpose, than those that the former president would suffer if he were not able to appear. The owner believes it is very difficult to undo the decisions that the actor makes if he is elected president and his disqualification for office is subsequently judicially confirmed. However, not being able to appear and then be proven right is considered a “lesser evil” that could be resolved with compensation.

However, this decision can be appealed before the same court. What is not clear is whether that last bullet would arrive in time for Rocha to present his candidacy for the Federation elections.

The deadlines begin on November 25, which is when the Assembly is constituted, and the candidacy of Rocha It should be submitted before December 2. The elections will take place on the 16th of the same month.

Judicial sources assure EL MUNDO that it is very difficult for this appeal to arrive in a timely manner, no matter how much the defense of Rocha submit your appeal to this latest decision within the next 24 hours.

At the moment, the only official candidacy to run for president of the RFEF is that of the independent candidate, Juanjo Morales. The presidents of the Territorial Federations have not yet made any movement, probably waiting for Pedro Rochawho was the consensus candidate, exhausted his last resource to return to lead the institution.

After having his first request for the precautionary measure rejected on September 3, Rocha He hoped that the court would accept his reasoning. The main reason for its first rejection was due to the fact that the elections had not been called, a circumstance that has changed. Now it depends on the agility of the Appeal of the National Court to aspire, perhaps for the last time, to preside over the RFEF again.
