The most recent elections Fernando Jaramillo in his capacity as president of the Dimayor they have lit the stove of the political kitchen of soccer. A stove that never goes out.
Jaramillo is right about one thing: he cannot convene an assembly to define each of the choices and decisions he makes on a daily basis, knowing that every time you choose between different scenarios, you will leave some happy and others infuriated.
The controversy over commissions
Jaramillo’s opposition clubs treat him as a biased dictator. That active minority, but with a loud voice and with a sounding board, has exploited in public opinion the resignation of the disciplinary commissions of the championship and of Dimayor because Jaramillo did not allow sanctions to be followed immediately for the entrance of the public to some grandstands for Millionaires vs. matches National and Medellin vs. Tolima, from the recent semi-final home runs.
A very delicate, very serious event, with no recent history. A giant divide between the executive and judicial branches of the League. A huge matter.
Let’s start from an indisputable point: decisions and sanctions for violence or misbehavior of fans they must be more and more rigorous and severe. Zero tolerance in that regard. However, the punishments imposed and sometimes lifted by those same commissions that resigned are and have been a joke.
It is true that the decisions of these commissions have almost always been openly political, since the presidency of the Dimayor, no matter how many reasons it alleges, even of public order and such, because it cannot go knocking down and ignoring the judicial rulings. The Dimayor being Dimayor.
When there was a death due to the riots of criminal bars of Unión Magdalena and Junior, the same commissions that resigned indignantly had lifted the sanction with a law so as not to affect Junior’s box office in his game against Nacional. The Dimayor being Dimayor.
The sanction against Millonarios, Llorente’s vase of indignant ‘League magistrates’, was communicated on an atypical day, Friday, just 27 hours before the final superclásico against Nacional for which all the tickets were sold.
The appeals filed by Millonarios, all denied, were resolved in just a few hours on the same Saturday of the match and, by decision of Jaramillo, after consultations with the Secretary of Security of the Bogotá Mayor’s Office, the application of the sanction was postponed for just three hours. before the game. The whole episode is so unusual, so Dimayor…

In some express semifinal home runs, in which there is no time or respite, the administration of justice must also be express. But while the games are played one after the other at full speed, the now resigning commissions pass sentence after stretching their arms and yawning.
Thus, for example, the misbehavior of the Millonarios fans in the game against Junior on Wednesday should have been reported with an emergency call that same night, or at dawn on Thursday, in the reports of the referee and the commissioner. If it was their turn to stay up late, then it was their turn, as has happened, is happening and will happen with all workers in extraordinary situations, priority attention.
So, first thing on Thursday, with that emergency call, –it’s an example, don’t forget it– and virtually if it was the case, the championship commission had to meet to sanction. And throughout the rest of Thursday the resources that were interposed were resolved, as they did on the same Saturday of the match.
In the case of upholding the sentences, well, the penalized team is given one day to carry out the sanction, close the stands, prepare the logistics, put the local and police authorities on alert, and people know if they can go or no and he doesn’t stay at the gate of the stadium pressing his entrance the hard way, ballot in hand. But no: here it was the Dimayor being more Dimayor than ever.
The resignation of the always discussed and unreliable disciplinary commissions of the championship and of the Dimayor is a very serious case, really, for the institutions of the League. The courts of the League accuse the president of the League of interference and favors, who, for whatever reason, passed them over. The presidential elections taken by Jaramillo are a fact…
