If last week the first vice president and treasurer Javier Sanz presented his resignation, the next to leave the board of directors of the Real Federación Española de Vela, he has been the sports vice president Joaquín González Devesa, but in this case has been stopped by President Julia Casanueva.

The crisis that was caused just over a year ago by the dismissal of the Olympic preparation director Aier Fernández de Bobadilla has just burst, in case of resignation and cesses.

Sanz and González Devesa should not have allowed this situation, they should have left before they were invited to leave by the president. At the last Sanz assembly he defended the accounts of 2019 but no longer presented the budget of 2020, but it was already the man of confidence of the president, the director general. But González Devesa did explain the sports plan for this Olympic year.

Those who were the right and left hand of Casanueva are already outside the federation, and Casanueva already has a free way. Of all the people who helped him come to power through the motion of censure against José Ángel Rodríguez and then in the elections with Jesus Turró, there is no one left around. Now with the federal headquarters transferred to Santander and Madrid removed from the map, Casanueva already has all the power concentrated and without apparently anyone who can make it shadow.

Last week with the Sanz march it was seen that things could be more precipitated, more rumors that Chimo also had the open exit door have just confirmed on Tuesday January 21 when Casanueva told Chimo González Devesa that he did not have it either.

Casanueva acts by impulses both with the staff and as has now been seen even with those who became his strong and fully trusted men.

We will see how the federal dome is reorganized and who takes over the economic and sports directions, and whether politicians or technicians do.

What has become clear is that who rules without scruples is her.
