“The only objective of politicians is to get into the chair, shame on you”

Harsh testimonies continue to be produced by the major players in Spanish football due to the conflict of the day of The League both in First of all as in Second Division despite the shock caused by what happened with the DANA in the Valencian Community.

The utter devastation caused by the storm, which has already claimed more than 200 lives, has highlighted the debate over whether football should have gone ahead this weekend. The mourning is absolute, but the major categories have followed their natural course and only the matches that were to be played in the Valencian Community have been postponed.

Elche, one of the teams that experienced the tragedy up close, played this Saturday against Eibar and won 0-2 in Ipurua during the 13th day of the Second Division. But the most striking came with the very harsh declarations of his trainer, Eder Sarabiaduring the press conference after the crash.

The coach showed maximum solidarity with what happened in the Valencian Community and he clarified that for him, it was not at all practical for this day to take place: “It is true that we dedicate ourselves to a profession which helps in many situations to make people abstract from their reality and their problems, but we There are also people. Today, for example, we were eating and what we saw on television was drama, tragedy, problems… Besides, we are from the Community.

“What your body asks of you is to be able to be there, to be able to encourage. I don’t know if they need more people or better organized, but I think that out of responsibility and because of all this La Liga day… It’s something extremely serious,” he said in a neutral tone. The Elche coach is very categorical.

Eder Sarabia went even further and accused the top officials in football and politics: “The leaders are not at all up to what this society shows. Fortunately, when problems arise, Spanish society shows that it is up to the task. he shows solidarity, he leaves everything aside to put it at the service of what his companion and the citizens need.”

Sarabia, He continued his powerful message: “Of course our politicians are not up to the task. I haven’t voted in many years because absolutely no one represents me. It seems the only goal is to be in charge , to be in the chair and that’s it.”

“No, the goal of politicians is to serve, to have that intention to serve and now was one of the wonderful moments of picking up the phone and saying, ‘What do citizens need, what does this country need to gain political advantage?’ because we did this and that, I think it’s an absolute shame, I take my hat off to all the actions of the people”, concluded Eder Sarabia.
