They point against the Argentine Olympic Committee | Lue …

The Argentine Olympic Committee (COA) was very exposed after its mission chief Lt. Col. Diego Gusmán claimed responsibility for the genocides of the last dictatorship by sending a video to a WhatsApp chat. Neither the resignation of the military man in office, nor the rejection statements of its president, Gerardo Werthein, appeased criticism of a conduct that was repudiated by the Sports Secretariat, legislators, leaders and even a group of COA advisers.

Now a draft declaration by the Buenos Aires deputy Claudio Morresi has been added, which has a specific weight of its own because he was the Secretary of Sport for the Nation that has remained the longest in democracy and is a recognized human rights activist. The initiative was accompanied by almost the entire block of the Front of All in the Legislature of the city of Buenos Aires and awaits its approval.

The text signed by the former footballer indicates his “most energetic repudiation of the discharges between the advisers and the staff of the Argentine Olympic Committee on March 24 … (alludes to Gusmán without mentioning it)” after two representatives of the Executive Council, Emiliano Ojea of ​​the University Sports Federation and Mario Petrucci of the Argentine Chess Federation upload information to the COA chat where the policies of Memory, Truth and Justice were claimed and a science game tournament was advertised for that purpose.

It was there that the lieutenant colonel and chief of mission of the COA intervened in the last two Olympic Games (London 2012 and Rio de Janeiro 2016) who shared a video where the genocides of the civic-military dictatorship are treated as “heroes” and points out that “at school they teach you only part of the story.” His posting was supported by a minority group of advisers who still remain in office, such as Jorge Monge, secretary of the Argentine Fencing Federation (FAE) and representative of skydiving in the COA, a retired former colonel who fought in the Falklands. . When the fact was spread by five counselors who sent a letter to Werthein in protest, the WhatsApp forum was closed.

Morresi says in his draft declaration that “Argentina is at the forefront in the defense and protection of Human Rights. We cannot let such a high institution (the COA) be exposed by the sayings of any of its members. We thus express our most energetic I reject and we hope that the authorities of the Argentine Olympic Committee will act accordingly. ”

Groups that participate in sports activities also spoke about the attitude of Gusmán, who resigned the day after his position was released. The Social Sports Movement (MSD) did it through one of its leaders, the Víctor Lupo from Tucumán: “We totally repudiate what happened with the COA mission chief, like most of the decisions driven by the Olympic Committee, such as his I forget about March 24, 1976 through each one of the years. We are also struck by the silence of many athletes who did not comment on it. ”

The graduate in High Sports Performance Leandro Rachid of Militant Peronism and Gusmán's former student at the University of Lomas de Zamora said: “We see with deep concern and absolute displeasure, the expressions made by some leaders within the COA, who claimed the state genocide of the last Argentine civil-military dictatorship “. At the same time, he commented that “sports institutions are an engine of transmission of the values ​​of our society and an example of the Nation that we want for the future. But it is known that the COA does not fully represent this thought …”.

The expressions of repudiation had begun when Sports Secretary Inés Arrondo said that she rejected that “a head of mission of athletes who represent our flag worldwide, offends us with a distorted version of history, claiming facts that were condemned by society and Justice “.

Gusmán was a candidate to travel to Tokyo

For the institutional communication channels of the Argentine Olympic Committee, Lieutenant Colonel Diego Gusmán continues as head of mission in the Sports Technical Commission chaired by the military (R), Víctor Sergio Groupierre, Gerardo Werthein's deputy secretary at the COA leadership table and member of the board of directors for fencing. The agency's website has not yet changed its composition in the key position held by the army officer. The committee also includes Vice President María Julia Garisoain, José María García Maañon, Mario Moccia, cyclist Walter Pérez and Werthein himself.

Colonel Diego Gusmán, defender of the last dictatorship.

A summary was opened for Gusmán but, anticipating the outcome of this administrative procedure, he presented his resignation from the position he held. If he had not mediated his posting with the video that claims state terrorism in the COA group, it was very possible that he was the head of mission in the edition of the next Olympic Games to be held in Tokyo in 2021 and that a year for the pandemic that affects the world. Werthein, quick of reflexes, said Monday that in the COA “there is no space for those who claim as heroes those convicted by the Justice for crimes against humanity.”
