Key Points
- Extraordinary assembly to nullify self-awarded board payments pushed by leader Carolina Poussier.
- Backlash from government ministers and affiliates prompts U-turn.
- Agenda addresses concerns and approves new disciplinary commission for transparency.
- Highlights internal tensions and inconsistencies in federation operations.
The Andorran Cycling Federation (FAC) has called an extraordinary general assembly for next week to reverse a recent statutory change that would have allowed some board members to receive occasional payments for their roles.
The U-turn follows widespread backlash, including opposition from government ministers, after the board—led by Carolina Poussier—pushed through the self-awarded compensation provision just weeks ago. The assembly will amend the statutes to nullify the measure entirely.
Tensions within the federation run high, with the agenda explicitly addressing "doubts and concerns" raised by affiliates. Some cyclists have voiced public frustration over inconsistencies in the organisation's operations, reflecting a broader atmosphere of discord despite the leadership's efforts to project unity.
The meeting will also approve members of a new disciplinary commission, which sources describe as an initiative accelerated by the Sports Department. Officials aim for greater transparency and more collaborative decision-making moving forward.
No further details on the assembly's exact date or location have been released, but it underscores ongoing internal challenges at the FAC.
