Newell's president explained that he protected the children for the photo with Malcorra :: Olé

The scandal in Newell’s for the sanction of six children from the lower ones, after a photo with Ignacio Malcorra, referent of Rosario Centralkeep adding chapters. This time, he was the president of the club, Ignacio Astore, who publicly referred to the controversial episode, arguing that no disciplinary punishment was applied to minors.

The image was taken about three months ago, during a match against Defensores de Funes. The boys are part of the Malvinas Argentinas school, located near the Marcelo Bielsa stadium. From the club they explained that the sanction seeks “Take care of them” and avoid that “Have inconveniences”since they would have received threats from the bar and some fans who claimed their expulsion after seeing the image with the scoundrel.

“First, this happened approximately 50 days ago. I approached Malvinas. I had a meeting with the parents and moms of the children. A disciplinary measure was not taken against children and families. On the contrary, some parents wanted to get the club boys because they received telephone threats from other parents in the category. Crazy, “he said.

“It was not a disciplinary measure by the club. It is not a punishment. But there were parents who wanted to get the boys for fear of aggressions because there are always people who do not think they are 8 -year -old boys. Some parents entered an anguish, fear of being attacked. What decision was made? We cool the waters. On Monday I have a meeting with the parents,” he said.

In addition, Astore thinks that there can be a link between the impact of the scandal and upcoming elections in the club: “As we are in an institutional political year, we are struck that this information comes out at 50 days.” And added: “The only one who can get the scholarship is Ignacio Astore. They are not going to get them to anyone. To preserve the boys, together with the parents, this measure was taken and that none leaves the club. Nenes are all Newell's fans. “

The father of one of the children, in dialogue with Cadena 3 of Rosario, said they were summoned to a meeting and that the Malvinas manager told them that the children should be sanctioned. In addition, he said it is a lie that they have received threats.
