“Nothing, they haven’t paid us until now,” was the text message that El Deber Sports received from a player from Oriente Petrolero‘s first team after noon this Monday. Thus it was found that Ronald Raldes, president of the albiverde institution, once again broke his word and did not pay one month of the several owed to the footballers.
Raldes had promised to cancel a fee last Friday; However, he requested to extend that deadline until Saturday, but the money did not appear that day either. The annoyance on the campus increased, so they decided to issue a statement on social networks where they explain the critical moment they are going through.
In the letter, they acknowledge that the debts range between 5 and 10 months, both with the players and with the coaching staff, assistants, props and club officials.
In the last few hours, several pro-Orient pages published that if Raldes does not cancel until Monday, the players would not appear for the game that same day at Tahuichi against San Antonio (7:00 p.m.); However, these rumors were denied by the club’s players to El Deber Sports, who stated: “They did not pay us, but we will show up to play.”
As a measure of protest, the players did not go to the San Antonio complex this Monday. There they planned to have lunch and rest before leaving for the stadium. They also did not attend the respective medical check-up in the morning, where they were provided with vitamins and other supplements.
The situation in Oriente Petrolero is critical, as it has been a complicated year surrounded by various problems, especially economic, that directly affect the team; Despite this, the players ratified their commitment to the club.
