Hundreds of fans of Athletic, among them, partners, sign a demonstration charging the Hurricane Deliberative Council on the current moment of the club, which ended up being lowered to the Brazilian Championship Series B in the year of its centenary.
In the document, which until the closing of this report had more than 600 signatures, the fans asked for changes in the command of the Athletico, with the removal of the president Mario Celso Petraglia, the creation of a new management plan and the inclusion of the cheerleaders as protagonist.
The aim is for the proposal to be discussed as a matter of urgency at the next Deliberative Council meeting scheduled for next Tuesday. "We reaffirm that this document does not seek to create ruptures, but rather to initiate a process of responsible transition and aligned with the collective interests of Club Athlético Paranaense", highlights the demonstration.
The fans highlight the work done by the current board since the "revolution" in Athletico, which took place in 1995, but regrets the "lack of involvement" in the last season, which culminated in the fall of the B Series.
"The Athletic community has then been ignored. Our Centennial was marked by a lack of effective involvement of the Board. The most significant celebration was organized by the fans themselves."
highlights part of the note.
