He Sevilla FC was quick to respond to the proposal to sanction its entire stadium for a month, the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuánafter the incidents of the derby of November 30. He did it through a harsh note in his … media, where he emphasizes that the closure will not take place this same weekend before the Oviedo as it is not an executive order, it is hoped that the resources he presents in the near future will appease the desire of government agencies to close his stadium.
“Sevilla Fútbol Club wants to show its surprise and total indignation after learning, through the media, since he did not receive official notification, the proposed sanction made this Thursday by the National Anti-Violence Commission, consisting of the total closure of the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium for one month and a fine of 120,000 euros after the incidents that occurred during the derby. The club considers that this proposed sanction is totally disproportionate, devoid of any minimum basis and constitutes a new and noisy comparative grievancebased on what happened at other stages, with similar or even more serious episodes, and the measures adopted then. A grievance which, as on several occasions, represents a cruel form of injustice, without objective justification, generating intolerable discrimination and punishing an entire sovereign supporter who went to the stadium,” he began.
“Sevilla FC, as it could not be otherwise, has decided entrust your legal services with the in-depth analysis of the content of the sanction proposalbecause he feels aggrieved by the decision of this Commission, given the sanctions it proposes to impose on similar or more serious episodes occurring in other regions of the national territory. Sevilla FC, as already expressed in a press release immediately after the derby, condemns any attitude and action which consists of throwing objects on the playing field and which constitutes a threat to the normal progress of the game or to the integrity of the players. The club is also characterized by the development, implementation and insistent communication of all types of actions aimed at combating and eradicating all types of violence in football, with a policy of zero tolerance for inappropriate behavior, promoting respect and coexistence through campaigns and respecting national regulations at all times,” he continued.
“Sevilla FC collaborates and will collaborate closely with the police and government authorities, actively participating in any initiative with a diligent, committed, responsible and deeply collaborative attitude. After objects were thrown during the last part of the match against Real Betis, Sevilla FC He was absolutely cooperative with the police in identifying the individuals responsible for the launches, warning that, as always, internal disciplinary regulations will be applied to them.regardless of other types of sanctions that may arise. So that there is no doubt, Sevilla FC reiterates its absolute and total condemnation of any violent activity in the field of football, as well as its firm desire to continue to actively collaborate with the police authorities, so that only the club is the one that identifies and will propose for sanction three of the people who threw objects on the playing field”, they reported.
“For all of the above, Sevilla FC considers that under no circumstances can the behavior of a few perfectly individualizable individuals be generalized. and, therefore, attributable to specific people and not to sectors, stadiums or leisure activities, declaring them sine die as violent, which is contrary to any democratic order or norm. In parallel, Sevilla FC already announced last week that it would also resort to the sanction imposed by the Competition Committee of partial closure of the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán for three matches. There are therefore two sanction procedures, federal and administrative, and the entity will appeal both,” he concluded.
