“The first appeal was rejected. Excellent news, full steam ahead. As expected, the Federal Court “promptly” rejected my appeal. I could not expect anything else from a body that is appointed by the Federal President himself and decides unilaterally. But this is excellent news because it shows how distorted the system is that I said I wanted to reform. In sports justice it works as if a person under investigation in a civil or criminal trial could choose his own judge. Does this seem normal to you? I will appeal and we are aware of a new rejection that will give even more strength to the Free Water Committee, which supports the need to make the management of the Italian swimming movement transparent”. This is what the vice president of the Chamber of Deputies declared, Fabio Rampelliby Fratelli d’Italia on the rejection of the appeal by the Federal Court of the candidacy for the presidency of the Italian Swimming Federation.
The right is fighting over swimming. Rampelli: “My candidacy for Fin is excluded. We are not in North Korea”. Barelli: “There is no room for parvenus”
“I will go as far as the Coni Guarantee Board – he adds -, which I have extreme confidence in as an independent body external to Federnuoto. The personalistic management of Fin for 24 years and more, has created a toxic climate where an alternative candidacy to that of a ‘perpetual president’ is excluded, as if it were “lese majesty”, rather than normal democratic dialectic. Furthermore, if the roles were reversed, I would have personally intervened by granting an act of “clemency” also in analogy with the principle of ‘investigative assistance”.
Rampelli then reiterates: “Evidently the transversal movement that is being generated around my candidacy is feared and the order is to prevent the count at all costs. Excellent news, we are not giving up, full speed ahead”.
