The Balear Sailing Federation in its Annual Gala distributed 47 diplomas and 30 trophies corresponding to 124 podios in Spanish championships and Copas, and 23 in world and European, the largest harvest of medals in the history of the Balar Sailing

Clamor in the Spanish Sailing, and echo of a lot of media... and that is that almost no one explains how the president of the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation has been able to get in trouble... with the Tokyo Olympics in sight.

Something sounds wrong in all of this... first we will never understand the majority as this lady, Julia Casanueva, who was a perfect stranger to the Spanish candle was made with the federative poltrone... only if we assume that the opposition of the former José Angel Rodríguez... chose her as a mere "monigote," as a character of straw... to whom they would handle it as they wanted the power group.

It is clear that it was so, but the lady of Santander came out of them not frog... but the following. In the face of the general surprise the headquarters was taken to the Cantabrian capital, as beautiful as it is uncomfortable to welcome the dome of the candle... facing everyone... with complaints by the legal means included.

Without going into other creepy issues, the last one is the drop that fills the glass... first the resignation of the president of the Real Club Nautico de Palma, who was its vice president... Javier Sanz... and now one of the most prestigious and valuable characters of the national sailing... who is also the president of the most important Federation of our country: Chimo González Devesa...

What does the madame play, who supports it, and what is the strategy that follows... you will know!... Here are some comments from different institutions and media about this sovereign mess:

16 / ENE / 2020 - Spanish Sailing Federation

Julia Casanueva, President of the Royal Spanish Federation of Vela, today received the letter of resignation from Javier Sanz, so far the economic vice president of the Federation. The team of the Real Federación Española de Vela thanks Javier Sanz for the work done to move the Federation forward since its incorporation, following the motion of censorship in October 2015.

23 / ENE / 2020 - Balearic Sailing Federation

Joaquín González Devesa has sent a letter to the president of the RFEV, Julia Casanueva, with a copy to the board of directors and also to that of the Balearic Federation of Vela, where she shows her surprise at her cessation as the sports vice president of the Spanish Federation.

31 / ENE / 2020 - Nautical clubs of the Balearic Islands

The Association of Nautical Clubs of the Balearic Islands has expressed its deep concern about the crisis in the Royal Spanish Vela Federation following the dismissal of its sports vice president, Joaquín González Devesa, five months from the Tokyo Olympic Games, weeks after the resignation as economic vice president of Javier Sanz, and have assured that this decision has - all the aspect of being a maneuver aimed at eliminating any trace of the balar candle of the federal entity.

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 cess... Sanz and González Devesa did not have to have allowed this situation, they had to have left before they were invited to leave by the president, in the opinion of Jaume Soler known Catalan journalist, specialized in sports nautical. These comments have been published by the very prestigious Iusport website, which are shared by numerous media from all over Spain and high-profile sailing personalities.

Soler continues... at the last Sanz assembly defended the 2019 accounts but no longer exposed the 2020 budget, but has already done so 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 the one who commands without scruples is her.
