AndConfusion arose over Benfica’s budget, after the “Servir o Benfica” movement was publicly announced and claimed to have failed by partners, and was not approved, as announced by the administration led by Rui Costa.
This Monday, in statements he made to Radio Renacenza, João Ferreira Leite, member of the initiative, asked those responsible for Luz to “clarify”, once and for all, the calculations made during the vote, which, remember, included 47.61% of the votes. Supporter, 43.2% opposed, and 9.19% abstained from voting.
“At no time did the President of the General Assembly say ‘pass’ or ‘fail’. He just announced the results. You don’t need to be a lawyer or a PhD in mathematics to understand that 47% is not an absolute majority.” Of anything,” he began to say.
He continued, “Therefore, in light of the results, it is enough for us to conclude that it was not approved in accordance with the law and regulations. If Benfica has a different understanding, we are waiting for them to explain that to us.” .
“In 2020, under Luis Felipe Vieira, the budget was not approved and life went on. We would like it to change, but the truth is that the administration, legally speaking, is not obliged to present a new budget. Still, in our opinion it should do so,” he added. .
