Last hour: Germán Suárez de Pumariega "Manocchio" is already history as president of the Royal Nautical Club of La Coruña after having completed the vote scrutiny of the April 19 elections... despite last-minute doubts about the power of the ex-president veteran, Fernando Cobian's victory has been strong and clear, having achieved the new president of the legendary Herculino club 333 votes by 140 of the official candidate...

After the logical tension, with the Social Building to the partners' tops, euphoria and joy has become a prey to the environment, because most a priori wanted a drastic change in the direction of the Nautico, and of course those who have the floor, the number partners have spoken... a new stage full of illusion and projects, and especially with the clearly majority support of the partners, begins for one of the most important clubs in Spain.

18 / 04 / 2017: 19A elections in the Nautico de La Coruña without great differences in the intention to vote

The time of truth came at the Real Club Náutico de La Coruña... 1230 members with voting rights, from the legendary Galician club, this Thursday between six and nine in the afternoon, will decide among the greatest youth of the proposal of Fernando Cobián, and for the continuism of Germán Suárez de Pumariega... good of Francisco Canabal. It is estimated that the results will be known at 10: 00 at night.

In these past days there has been tension and it is necessary to stress that the excellent behavior of many of the components of both lists, which with their chivalry and elegance, have been able to pour water, not gasoline, to the constant fires of one of those who are immersed... case of German Suárez himself "Manocchio..." that has not stopped doing his own... like yesterday's in the City of La Coruña by leading with it to the presentation of the National of Laser 4.7, to the components of his list...

The press however collected that they had been members of the two candidates, which is a lie apparently spread by Germán Suárez... which caused the "calm and calm" indignation of those of Cobian. Another incident was that one of the candidates on the official list, sent many members messages on the phone asking for the vote, while disqualifying some components of the opposition list... this situation caused moments of tension. By the way, there will be the members of the Electoral Board, accompanied by a notary and the opposition will request that there be also one or two interveners, of the "yours."

With regard to the intention to vote there are opinions for all tastes: on the one hand the Opposition hopes to win with a certain extent, but it is also true that Manocchio and his people have worked a lot and have the older vote inclined in their favor... of course both Canabal and Cobian if they want to be presidents of the Royal Nautical Club of La Coruña, they will have to work until the last minute of the party. Good luck.

16 / 04 / 2018: Last attempts of Cobian and Canabal-Pumariega to get the votes in La Coruña

It is only three days before the number partners of the Real Club Náutico de La Coruña choose between two options: voting in favor of Fernando Cobián or doing it to Manocchio through Francisco Canabal, that is to say the rupture or the continuism. So today both candidates have sent written to the voting partners, which we just published in Digital Nautics... it seems that the party is in favor of Cobian... but with Manocchio in front the party will not be decided until the last minute.

14 / 04 / 2018: Uncertainty at the door of the elections of the Nautico de La Coruña

Five days after the elections in the Royal Nautical Club of La Coruña, there is a tense calm in the historical Galician nautical, for not a few the most emblematic of the entire Atlantic along with the Royal Maritime Club of the Abra-Real Sporting Club, which was for several decades the strongest in the organization of regats throughout Spain, as today is the Real Nautical Club of Palma... supported in both cases by the respective Heads of State... as happened in the late 19th and early 20th century, which the baton carried the clubs of Las Arenas, Santander and San Sebastián, given that the Spanish family.

This abolengo, this quality is still breathing in La Coruña. It is an elegant, traditional club with a certain Anglo-Saxon air, which enjoys privileged facilities in the very center of one of the most beautiful cities in Spain. From this stage, the elections in the Nautico de La Coruña have always been soft, agreed... with the satisfaction of all, or of almost all... as appropriate in traditional nautical clubs.

But this happened until the arrival of German Suárez of Pumariega who, although not a child, has revolutionized this herculine feeling, to transform the Club's elections into those of a left-wing political party or a football team... "Manocchio" who in his young years played in the section of the Real Madrid de Baloncesto enjoys the sympathy of much of the "elders" of the Club, and that is what gives him the power... until a few days ago he was Secretary of his 92-year-old Leopoldo Bremón board of directors... to which the former president decided to retire him.

"Manocchio" resisted to leave the presidency... when he refused to release it a couple of years ago, after a tortuous election in which he failed to comply with the statutes by changing his list in several names, since they had not authorized him to be in it... in full trouble he came to appoint an Electoral Board at his wish because the "headlines" had told him that he had lost, and even the Coruñese media had confirmed his defeat...

The Coruñese press echoed the victory of Cobian... then came the animal octopus of Manocchio's company

It reminded us of that "pet octopus" announcement. After this feat in January, he was defeated in the partial elections as a hit and was forced to call for elections, which now appears to be second, but we are anxious that it is something that he does not believe.

The feeling of the veteran society is of tiredness... apparently the logical must happen, which is nothing other than Fernando Cobian being the new president next April 19... but Don Germán is hard to peel and is looking one by one for the votes of the older people... and of course they do not trust the appearances, because the fish is not sold and can pass from everything.

07 / 04 / 2018: Francisco Canabal sends a letter to the members of the Nautico de La Coruña

Under the title of slogan "From tradition to the 21st century," the candidacy officially presided over by Francisco Canabal, and the practice led by former President German Suárez de Pumariega, has sent to the number partners of the Royal Nautical Club of La Coruña, a summary of what they want, if they enjoy the confidence of the voters, who are called to the polls on April 19...

Seven are the basic points of the writing of Francisco Canabal and / or Germán Suárez, which we summarize:

1) To empower the School of Sailing and the School of Navigation, while committing themselves not to externalize them, a statement that extends to the organization of sports events in general organized by the Club.

2) Make the management of the Sports Building more effective.

3) To try to balance the Club's budget, from an economic point of view.

4) Improvement of the Club's restoration services, especially those of the Sports Building.

5) The entire cultural and game content of the Club will be continued and enhanced.

6) Improvement of the facilities, style of the Club's Gym and Spa.

7) Improving relations with different institutions, in order to review current concessions

2018-04-07 CANABAL FRANCISCO CANDIDATURE

03 / 04 / 2018: The Elections in the Nautical of La Coruña, on Thursday, April 19... without a favorite

The date for the 2018 elections of the Royal Nautical Club of La Coruña is already official... it will be Thursday, April 19, when the final composition of the list of ladies and gentlemen number partners will be known that will carry the reins for two years... with the exception of president and comedian that will do it for four... for until the reelection system is changed in the General Assembly, this is the valid system.

In the light of the consultations made, it is most likely that Germán Suárez de Pumariega will not be elected... but it is only speculation. Their detractors claim to be a majority, as the veteran president has been very worn out by the new problem that emerged a few days ago with two members of their initial Candidature, who indicated that they did not want to be on the list... which obviously caused some dismay in the legendary herculin nautical society.

So you already know elections in one of the most important clubs in Spain, with the bets for the opponents... but let's be clear: defeat Don Germán who even when he appears as vice president on the official list, defeat "Manocchio" is not going to be an easy match for his rivals...

26 / 03 / 2018: Surprise in the opposition of the Nautico de La Coruña, as the "officialists" vary their electoral list

Of course, if Don Germán Suárez de Pumariega's super-known character in the city of La Coruña, because of the important industrial career of his family since the end of the 19th century, was dedicated to football... instead of the nautical as far as his hobby is concerned, it would not only give rise to covers in La Voz de Galicia, El Ideal Galician or La Opinión... as Marca, As and El Mundo Deportivo would fight daily to relate their tracks.

From all over the world is known the prestige of this Galician Club, a prestige that transcends the Galician and Spanish borders itself... an almost centenary entity, with extra-odrinary facilities, an incredible geographical location and a beautiful city to its feet... and also a good dose of elegance which in the candle is very important, and a great hobby. The Náutico de La Coruña achieved in 1977 by the hand of Enrique Vilariño as shipowner, and with Machaco de Llano, Rodney Peterson, Ib Andersen and Ramón Balcels the first championship of the world of cruises, with the legendary design of Ron Holland in 18.5 IOR... the "Manzanita..." is the Club of Sofia Toro, of Chuny Bermudez de Castro, of Jesús Pintos... we are left with adjectives and quality by both bands...

Well, the above-mentioned Germán Suárez de Pumariega agreed to the Club's presidency in 2016, he presented himself to his second re-election and here the first problems... he had previously expelled his comandoro, with which he had a conato of aggression that ended in court, he did not have two of his most quality men, Vice President Javier Ojea and sailing delegate Julián Ojea... announced to a couple of gentlemen in his candidacy who had not given him his permission to do so... that is to say he ended up as the rosary of the aurora. As the Herculine media of those days report, case of La Opinión that headlines "Sea in the Nautical of La Coruña"... the truth is that "Manocchio" was charged to the Electoral Board (officially resigned)He redid as he could to his candidacy and launched elections... to which the opposition did not show up...

It has been very difficult to conduct good social harmony, and in that Manocchio has some merit... but it is also true that the opposition has given up its theoretical rights, and decided in a gesture that honors them to wait for a new election... and that is what he did. He was good at what happened in 2016 and was presented in January 2018 to the 50% election of the Board of Directors... and he won for a hit... And what happened? Because in the face of the surprise of their own and strange Don Germán Suárez of Pumariega he resigned... but not to leave... but to return, with a new election to which he presented himself as number two of a great stranger in the Club, and so be able to be several years more in front of the Nautico, with permission from Francisco Canabal, of course!.

So far all right... but again a bomb has fallen in the middle of Nautico: two members of the candidacy tell Canabal or Manocchio these days... that they have not given him permission to be on the list, require him to be removed immediately and the Electoral Board in a maneuver that at least generates certain doubts... admits the change (*)... the opposition has decided to hold on to the pull and continue the electoral process... What's the next surprise that Canabal will give us, that's Manocchio?

(*) They have given up being in the Francisco Canabal López candidacy: Pilar Ópez-Perea Paramo and Ana Nogueira Gandasegui... who have been replaced, apparently definitely, by Fernando Martínez López and Jacobo Nieto Peñamaria.

22 / 03 / 2018: There will be elections in the Nautico de La Coruña: Cobian versus Canabal (Manocchio)

The Royal Nautical Club of La Coruña, one of the largest, remains stalled in internal struggles... I hope these announced elections will serve as the beginning of a new era of success.

The Electoral Board of the Royal Nautical Club of La Coruña, composed of Antonio Martinez-Rumbo, Javier Ozores, Jesús Pintos Uribe, Germá Otero and Arsenio Díaz, have given their approval to the two candidates presented, opening a period until the next March 27 at 2400 to be able to be challenged... even when consulted responsible for both, it seems that all are determined to clarify the current situation, through the appropriate votes.

The "opposition" has presented Fernando Cobián as his presidential option, in a meeting in which is Antonio Nores of Vice President, Jorge Etcheverría Mazaira de comandoro, Ignacio Fernández Ópez-Novoa de Secretario and Guillermo Blanco Fernández de delegado de veela, and that complete Juana Isabel Ferreiro, Pedro de Torres, Gonzalo Abella, Héctor Guimeraens, Rosina Sáenz, Alfonso Vilariño "Caco, Agustín Fernández- Vigo, Domingo Ortega and José María Ozores.

The "official line" according to the rumours that have been circulating through La Coruña these days has chosen that Germán Suárez of Pumariega "Manocchio" will not go number one... by giving this place to Francisco Canabal López, which has fallen as a bomb, because he was not counted on the quinielas for this purpose...

Therefore, "Manocchio" occupies the number two, with the proposed comandoro Joaquín Cobelo and the secretary Roberto Seoane, completing the list of proposed directors: María Gloriz Fernández-Victorio, Ana María Fonticoba, Juan Manuel Piñeiro, Miguel San Claudio, Luis Manuel López, Tania Jan Pearson, José María Paz Gago, Araceli Ortega, Pilar Ópez-Perea and Ana Nogueira. It has been confirmed that one of the most trusted men of the ex-president, veteran Leopoldo Bremón, is not part of the list... which was a secret to voices.

It will be necessary to expect events after the express candidacy supported by Germán Suárez de Pumariega in Joaquín Cobelo, as his great sport offer, to know if it is possible to overcome a new match- ball, to which the opposition has taken him, after his sound electoral success of last January 50% of the charges, which forced "Manacocho" to submit his resignation, to call for new elections... what if it is clear is not easy to double the ex-president, because when it seems more defeated it comes from his ashes as the "Phoenix Ave."
