San Lorenzo is experiencing a new chapter of institutional instability following Marcelo Moretti's return to the presidency. This Wednesday, board members Marcelo Culotta and Agustina Nordestrom submitted their resignations to the Board of Directors and called on the rest of the leaders to follow the same path to force a power vacuum and enable a call for elections.

"The way out of this situation begins with a power vacuum, the way out of this political and institutional disaster," said Culotta, who also targeted the president: "His personal interests are above San Lorenzo's name and that is unacceptable to me. They are a group of unscrupulous people who have tarnished San Lorenzo de Almagro's name."

The group "Volver a San Lorenzo," led by César Francis, supported the decision and issued a critical statement: "Marcelo Moretti and the entire officialist group plunged the club into an unprecedented political, institutional, and economic crisis. Not only Moretti, all those who have accompanied him during these twenty months are responsible."

In the same statement, they emphasized that "they are not going to validate an illegitimate government" and that Nordestrom's resignation "is honoring the responsibility and trust that the members placed in us in December 2023."

The power vacuum and early elections

According to the bylaws, for the power vacuum to take place and for elections to be called, at least 15 of the 20 members of the Board of Directors must resign.

So far, among the most relevant departures are those of Julio Lopardo, Néstor Navarro, and Marcelo Culotta, in addition to the public stance of the general secretary Martín Cigna, who warned: "I'm never going to be the Secretary again if Marcelo Moretti returns to the club. I have made up my mind. I'm not going back on that."

Given this scenario, San Lorenzo's political future is once again hanging in the air and the pressure for early elections is mounting in Boedo.
