He Real Betis has called this week for the next Tuesday December 17 the ordinary and extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, which is presumed to be paseolike the last ones, for ‘Now, Betis, Now‘, the group commanded by Ángel Haro and José Miguel López Catalán who governs the club uninterruptedly since February 2016. The two largest shareholders of the entity The Palm Tree They have been gradually strengthening their position, acquiring packages of titles from opponents and individuals. The truth is that it is unknown how the map of notables has been since the recent capital increasewhich ended in the month of August, although, since the members of other illustrious families in Verdiblanco did not attend, it is presumed that the difference between what the Villaverdero businessman and his right hand control with respect to those who may disagree with his management, Far from being reduced, it has expanded.
With a lot of support, in addition, the current bosses will not have problems to carry out the accounts for the year. 23/24 and the budget of the 24/25with very few differences compared to the previous ones, nor in the section of re-election and appointment of new members of the governing body. What bothers a sector of Beticism the most, yes, lies in the enormous list of articles of the Statutes of the institution whose change and/or suppression will be submitted to the vote of those present at the Hotel Barceló Renacimiento of the La Cartuja Island within a month. Specifically, points 7 and 10 of the agenda include two quite controversial sections, since they would leave certain powers in the hands of the board that, until now, had to have the support of the majority of shareholders or, simply, could not even be supported. contemplate
The two articles in question are 8 and 31. The first, literally, reads like this: “Only natural persons of Spanish nationalitypublic legal entities, Savings Banks and Spanish Entities of a similar nature and purposes, and private legal entities of Spanish nationality, or companies in whose capital the foreign participation do not exceed the 25%and whose members, due to the rules by which they are governed, are totally identified“. They understand those who these days censor through social networks the desire to Haro and Catalan of suppressing this point that the intention, at least in the medium-long term, is to open the door to foreign capital, the feared investment funds that they are doing so much damage in other latitudes, because they arrive with a lot of money and promises, but they leave a hole from which clubs like the Valencia CF (bottom of First division) he Málaga CF (recently promoted to Second) are having a hard time getting out.
For its part, the 31st imposes the obligation that the annual budget of the company must be approved by the general meeting of shareholdersa point that, at this time, does not represent any disagreement, because, precisely, if the current managers sin of something, it is containment of spending and responsibility so as not to fall into past mistakes regarding the increase in debt, although the most skeptical suspect that behind it there may be future intentions to embark on mammoth projects, surely with the aforementioned funds as drivers, that do not have a safety net. In any case, with the de facto majority of the controlled or related assembly, they will practically be able to do what they consider most appropriate. In favor of Haro and Catalan It is the transparency that has governed his work in recent years.
