Corinthians organization demonstrates against the suspension of the Assembly of the statutory reform and fires shots at counselors

- By Henrique Pereira / Central do Timão Editorial

Gaviões da Fiel took a public stance against the suspension of the General Assembly (AG) of Corinthians, which would analyze the proposed reform of the club's Statute. The vote was scheduled for the 20th, but ended up being interrupted after an injunction issued by the São Paulo Court last Tuesday.

In a statement published on social media, Timão's main organized fans classified the measure determined by judge Mauricio Campos da Silva Velho, from the 4th Chamber of Private Law of the Court of Justice of São Paulo (TJ-SP), as "a frontal attack on democracy and the legitimate will of members".

The court decision was motivated by a request presented by life counselors Ademir de Carvalho Benedito, Alexandre Husni and Guilherme Gonçalves Strenger. The trio was also the target of criticism from the organizers.

"Through legal tricks, they try to perpetuate a bankrupt system that for decades has placed personal interests above Corinthians. It is not the first time that these same three life councilors have voted against the interests of the Corinthian Nation. The stance is repeated: shielding privileges, collusion with the past and resistance to any advance that reduces the power they have accumulated for decades", published the Gaviões.

Among the main points highlighted by the organized fans is the possibility of expanding the political participation of fans. The reform provided, among other topics, for the implementation of the right to vote for Loyal Fans as of the 2026 elections, a measure that would be submitted for approval by members in the suspended Assembly.

The Gaviões also highlighted that most of the life advisors did not participate in the 11 public hearings held to debate the proposed changes to the club's Statute. According to organizers, the discussion process included wide openness to dialogue before reaching the voting phase.

When justifying the granting of the injunction, the judge pointed out the existence of "relevant signs of non-compliance with procedural rules" provided for in Corinthians' own Bylaws.

The decision specifically refers to article 97, paragraph M, which establishes the powers of the Guidance Council (Cori) in relation to statutory changes. "Art. 97 - CORI is responsible for: (...) M - Proposing to the CD, with the respective indications, any changes to this Statute."

Given the urgency claimed by the authors of the action, the Court determined that the decision be communicated immediately to the court of first instance. The case is still ongoing, and the others involved are expected to present a statement in the coming days.

In recent days, Gaviões had been promoting a series of publications to explain to fans the main topics that would be voted on in the Assembly. Among them was the proposal to create the Football Association, directly linked to the participation of Fiel Torcedor in the club's electoral process.

The legal dispute involving the statutory reform, however, has been going on for months. The first Assembly called to deal with the issue ended up suspended after an injunction obtained by counselor Felipe Ezabella, back in April, following intervention by Corinthians' legal department in the process.

After the agenda was returned to internal bodies, the Deliberative Council returned to discussing the project in new meetings, culminating in the convening of a new Assembly by the acting president of the CD, Leonardo Pantaleão, for June 20th.

Fearing new attempts to block the vote, associates linked to the Voz Corinthiana and Família Corinthians collectives appealed to the courts and obtained a decision recognizing the validity of the GA call.

Shortly later, Felipe Ezabella once again called the Judiciary. This time, the request sought to restrict voting only to highlights approved by the Deliberative Council, excluding the basic text of the reform. The request, however, was rejected by the judge responsible for the case.

In another recent development, judge Guilherme Augusto de Oliveira Barna granted an injunction guaranteeing the right to vote in the Assembly to all Parque São Jorge members who were already registered until the date of the call, on May 8. As a result, members with less than five years of association with the club would also participate in the deliberations.

The most recent episode began after Ademir Benedito, Guilherme Strenger and Alexandre Husni filed a new lawsuit requesting the suspension of the AG. The argument used was that the reform proposal had not correctly followed the procedure provided for by the Statute.

Initially, judge Rafael Viotti Schlobach denied the injunction request. At the time, he understood that the arguments presented were not sufficient given the evidence attached to the process and previous decisions in favor of holding the Assembly.

In his statement, the judge also highlighted that the General Assembly is the highest and sovereign body of the club to deliberate on statutory changes, as established in article 59 of the Civil Code. He also highlighted that Leonardo Pantaleão had the power to call the meeting, under the terms of article 47 of the Corinthians Statute.

With the new injunction granted by the TJ-SP, however, the General Assembly scheduled for June 20th remains suspended until there is a new judicial definition.

Check out the full note released by Gaviões da Fiel:

"Gaviões da Fiel Torcida expresses its indignation at the urgent protection that suspended the General Assembly of Associates of Sport Club Corinthians Paulista, scheduled for the 20th. This decision represents a frontal attack on democracy and the legitimate will of the associates, who are fighting for an urgent, necessary and long-awaited statutory reform.

It is necessary to name those responsible for this setback: judges Ademir Benedito and Guilherme Strenger, and lawyer Alexandre Husni. Through legal tricks, they try to perpetuate a bankrupt system that has placed personal interests above Corinthians for decades. It is not the first time that these same three life councilors have voted against the interests of the Corinthian Nation. The posture is repeated: shielding privileges, collusion with the past and resistance to any advance that reduces the power they have accumulated for decades.

The consequences are very serious and go beyond the democratic field. With the blockade on statutory reform, loyal fans will probably not be able to vote in the election for president in 2026. This blockade also prevents new loyal fan members, a direct financial impact for a club that no longer has the money to pay their monthly salaries.

Corinthians cannot be held hostage by lifelong advisors who place themselves above the people. Most of them did not even participate in the eleven public hearings on the reform. Gaviões was in ten of them, only absent in one due to returning from a caravan in Brasília after the Super Cup title.

Gaviões will continue unstoppably in the fight for a better Corinthians. No injunction, no artifice and no advisor for life will be able to stop the will of 35 million Corinthians fans.

This episode reinforces that every Corinthians fan needs to participate in the club's political life, because when the people fail to act, three people decide for everyone's fate.

Corinthians belongs to the people.

The Gaviões Board of Fiel Torcida."
