The adventures of Vaijeadis' pound in Modern Pentathlon and the ... rugby
June 16, 2019
Leaving his post, Mr. Vasiliades (due to elections) will leave many "orphan" and non-subsidized sports such as rugby and modern pentathlon, who have no activity in Greece. How else would the party members of SYRIZA be accommodated?
Let's look at things from scratch, though: Rugby is divided into rugby juniors and rugby ligs. The first is the most popular in the world and is the subspecies part of the Olympic program. Rugby League also has major growth outlets, with larger ones in the north of England, Oceania, France and Lebanon. Rugby League International RLIF has been the official Rugby League since 1927, and there is a European federation (RLEF).
Administratively in Greece, the GGA of the SYRIZA government has included the sport in the Federation of Modern Pentathlon. The President of the EOMM is Mr Tassos Pantazidis, a party member of SYRIZA and former chairman of the party's sports committee, and a "companion" from the past with the current GFU July Synadino, who took all these decisions
In Greece, however, there is also the independent Greek Rugby League Association (GRLA), a Greek-and-Greek athletic rugby league, which competes internationally for Greece with the recognition of the European and world federation. Similarly, for Triathlon, the International and European Federation recognize only the Greek Triathlon Federation and not the EOMM.
It is noteworthy that the chairman of the EOMM is a founding member and head of a newly established World Rugby League, which appears to have a competitive relationship with the official federation that has been established since 1927. He has built his own "World federation" in the Rugby League
Economically, the Sympos Government of SYRIZA has seen a significant increase in its subsidies. From € 33,000 who received a grant in 2016, it reached 20,000 in 2018 to get a grant of € 103,000! Of these, 53,000 were a regular grant, while in December 2018, under an unprecedented decision, Deputy Sports Secretary Georgios Vassiliadis approved an extraordinary grant of 50,000 euros, but did not justify it
State money, however, seems to be inaccessible to the EOMMC administration. Through the website of the Greek Federation of the Rugby League, which seems to be still being handled by ECOM members, people are being asked to donate money for the development of the sport. But the money does not end up in an account of their Federation but in the PayPal personal account of the president of Tassos Pantazidis! The act is not only unethical, but also illegal.
Throughout this case, the responsibilities of the Undersecretary of Sports are enormous, since he not only tolerates the whole situation at the expense of the Rugby League, but at the same time offers political coverage to his party comrades and grants them thousands of euros of Greek taxpayers that does not justify the non-existent development the modern pentathlon and rugby ...

οργανισμό με ονομασία World Rugby League, ο οποίος φαίνεται να έχει ανταγωνιστική σχέση με την επίσημη παγκόσμια ομοσπονδία που είναι καθιερωμένη από το 1927. Τουτέστιν, έχει φτιάξει δική του «παγκόσμια ομοσπονδία» στο Ράγκμπι Λιγκ.
