Why It Matters
Statements by CONI president Luciano Buonfiglio in Florence on relations with the government and the FIGC assembly.
"FIGC? I did what I had to do. Now they have to decide their future in full autonomy." Thus the president of CONI, Luciano Buonfiglio, today on the sidelines of an event at the Canottieri Comunali of Florence, responded to journalists who asked him about the elective assembly scheduled for 14 December.
On relations with the Government, Buonfiglio said, "I believe that CONI must increasingly be a partner for the government, for governments, to make better policies. Because we have the competence" and whoever governs "has the levers, and when we get together we always make a good impression". "It is no coincidence - he remarked - we made a good impression at the Winter Olympics, at the Mediterranean Games, at the Coni Trophy with 4,800 kids".
And regarding the dialogue with the Government and in particular with the Minister of Sport and Youth Andrea Abodi, Buonfiglio added: "The priority", on an economic level, "are interventions to facilitate the life of grassroots sports clubs, because without them we are going nowhere".
