Sesc Flamengo reinforces its squad with the signing of central Jussara for the 2024/25 season
The situation is divided between Dunshee and Bap and the opposition faces difficulties in defining the name it will present in the election
|
The election for the future president of Flamengo has no set date yet, but, according to the club's statutes, it needs to take place in the first ten days of December. That is, at most exactly six months from now. Despite the proximity, today the scenario at the club is one of absolute uncertainty regarding Rodolfo Landim's succession.
The process of choosing a name to keep Landim's base together has proven difficult. The president appointed a commission led by Diogo Lemos, member of the Football Council, to prepare an assessment of his two terms and a government plan for the next three years before the official choice of the candidate, to be chosen by the support base.
However, members of the current management did not wait for it to become official and have been moving since the beginning of the year to consolidate their candidacy. Landim's preferred name is general vice-president Rodrigo Dunshee de Abranches, but most of the management members prefer the president of the Board of Directors Luiz Eduardo Baptista, Bap.
A third name coming from management Landim has also put forward his candidacy: Mauricio Gomes de Mattos, former vice-president of Embassies and Consulates. In search of an electoral niche, Mattos, who has the support of older members of the club and tries to mobilize the few remaining off-Rio voters, has also sought support among the opposition.
The opposition does not even understand each other about objective in electionThe scenario in the opposition is even more undefined than in the Landim's support base. The only consensus among the different groups seems to be that there needs to be a single candidate. From then on, the divergences are great from the objective to the means.
Part of the opposition believes that there is no chance of winning the election and the important thing is to occupy spaces in the management and prevent the victory of Dunshee, who they see it as a worst-case scenario, and so they consider seeking a composition with Bap. Another part sees a real chance of victory as long as the situation is truly divided between Dunshee and Bap, as long as there is only one more candidate. For this, it would be necessary to form a composition with Mattos, which could even have the former VP himself as a candidate.
The opposition even tried an alliance with Landim's former vice-president of Finance Wallim Vasconcelos at the head , but conversations in this regard ended after Wallim made an aggressive speech against the allies of former president Eduardo Bandeira de Mello during a meeting of the Deliberative Council.
Bandeira de Mello himself was unable to overcome resistance from part of the opposition to his name, mainly due to him being prosecuted for the fire at Ninho do Urubu. The strongest name that emerged as an option that would unite the entire opposition is former legal vice-president Flávio Willeman, but he hesitates to take responsibility due to professional issues.
Manifesto against SAF and plans to Landim for the futureLast week, then, there was a movement to start making other names viable, which began with the publication of a manifesto against the transformation of Flamengo into SAF signed by Walter Monteiro – which was candidate in 2021 and finished in third place, one vote behind Marco Aurélio Assef, ineligible this year and not seen as a real opponent -, Gilberto de Oliveira Barros and Carlos Ferrão.
The three managed to move the election with the manifesto, with both Dunshee and Bap giving messages that they too would be against the SAF, although Landim defends the possibility of building a stadium.
Landim himself, in fact, remains determined, as reported by the MRN, to contest the next election for the presidency of the Deliberative Council. There, he would control the pen to guide the SAF discussion. Therefore, the opposition has also been talking to find a strong name capable of competing with Landim in this election, which takes place after the vote for the presidency of Flamengo.
Although the registration of candidacies only takes place in September, the The expectation is that by the end of this month there will be a clearer definition of candidates for election in Flamengo.
