Football autocrats

In recent years, in various activities where legality is confused with illicitness, characters appear that are an example of the degradation that part of Argentine society has been enduring for some time now .
In politics as in business, we see these examples of arrogance, bad taste, lack of culture, and the pride of the half-educated who believe that a certain economic success, which they can almost never justify, gives them the stamp of importance.
One of them is the treasurer of the AFA , Pablo Toviggino , who from a small neighborhood club in Santiago del Estero and thanks to his ties with Gerardo Zamora , one of the most controversial and suspected corrupt governors in the country, has managed to amass a fortune and rise to prominence in the AFA, where he appears as the most important supporter of the president, Claudio Tapia , another obscure individual who gained notoriety for his marital relationship with a daughter of the leader of the truck drivers' union, Hugo Moyano .
The successes achieved through the effort, talent, skills and sacrifices of the Argentine national football team, including the third world championship, led by a technical director who also represents the values of work and effort, are attributed as their own by these leaders who, With their attitudes, words and actions, they reveal the worst defects that we Argentinians sometimes show. .
Local championships reveal, in each competition and match after match, the crisis of local football, which the national team's triumphs cannot conceal: alteration of the rules of the game, refereeing suspected of venality, improvised tournaments, use of barely profitable venues or those financed by governments. taking resources away from its essential functions.
Toviggino aims to elevate himself as the autocrat of Argentine football. With his language and his marginal manners, typical of a hooligan and someone who has devoted little time to education. He doesn't tolerate opinions different from his own and doesn't allow questions regarding clearly arbitrary decisions, verifiable errors, and actions suspected of being illegal .
In addition to attacks on football club leaders, players, coaches, and sports journalists, he has now included the Chief of Staff himself, even going so far as to insinuate threats.
As part of his unbridled way of being and conducting himself, Toviggino recently attacked Guillermo Francos with language and assessments that were completely out of place, which earned him harsh responses from the official and also from the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich .
The AFA treasurer only demonstrates that he is a clear example of poor education and a nefarious collusion between political power, pseudo-businessmen who can only prosper thanks to state perks, and sports, with the governor of Santiago del Estero as the main architect, who adds scandal after scandal, all protected by a complicit Justice system that fails to fulfill its duty.
