COMPLAINT

Dear Sirs,

I am hereby informing you of the following, asking for your actions, in order to ensure the integrity of the elections in the Hellenic Karate Federation on December 1, 2024 and their election results.

The Administration of the Hellenic Karate Federation announced resignations with an Extraordinary General Assembly (within 25 days) on 1.12.2024, and not as provided for with a Regular General Assembly (within 45 days). While it was known that the mandatory holding of elections after the end of the Olympic Games and until the end of the year. Creating a suffocating framework in the conduct of the elections, with all that entails for the smooth conduct of the process and the possibility of the participation of the majority of members. In fact, while until today he conducted the meetings of the G.S. as well as the Boards of Directors with the use of the zoom electronic platform, the electoral G.S. decided. to be conducted by telephone in Athens, creating obstacles for the associations of the province which will have to move at their own expense, while there is the possibility of conducting the elections by electronic ballot, which is immutable.

Then, within this suffocating schedule, he followed a procedure not foreseen by the Statute, demanding a series of supporting documents from the unions approved by Decision of the General Secretariat of Sports with the right to vote in the elections on 1.12.2024, in order to carry out an alleged legality check of the of already approved associations, which is outside the institutional and statutory framework of the Administration’s operation.

The result of its audit on 22.11.2024 is to exclude 31 unions with the right to vote from the General Assembly as well as 13 of the 14 opposition candidates, who belong to the above unions. Applying photographically and in accordance with fragmentary provisions of the Sports Law. Also, the objection period (on non-working days) ending on Sunday 24.11.24 at 17:00 has a number of restrictions, not allowing the majority of unions and candidates excluded from the lists to challenge their exclusion, or to seek legal assistance to defend their rights.

In addition to the above:

1. The unions that were excluded were also approved by the General Assembly with the right to vote at the Ordinary General Assembly on 31.10.2024! We cannot fathom what suffrage is lost from month to month.

2a. We do not know how EL.OK ensured the integrity of the audit process of the unions and the candidates it audited! Emphasizing here that the auditors who carried out the audit are the same candidates in the elections on 1.12.2024 and the legal advisor who we convened them appointed by them!

2b. The only thing we found in the majority of audited clubs was that the reasons for their exclusion are not consistent with the supporting documents they have submitted or with what really applies!

2c. We do not know and no one assures us that a check was carried out on all the unions and, respectively, on our co-candidates who were not excluded!

3. EL.OK in any case has no legal interest to question the legalizing documents of the unions, prohibiting them from participating in the elections. The members of the unions have this right within the time period provided for and the superior controlling authority which is the G.G.A. which has already given a positive opinion on their legality, has included them in the

Electronic Registry and has recognized them as having the right to participate and vote in the electoral General Assembly.

4. The legalizing documents of the associations are known to EL.OK. It is worthy of discussion as to why EL.OK.K was willing to carry out an audit of these after the fact and not on the earlier date of filing them, so that if there was any problem, the unions could take corrective actions!

5. The administrators and their supporters, before completing the process of submitting the supporting documents of the unions and submitting the nominations, announced the exclusion of unions and candidates on the internet, which proves the obviousness of their intentions and what they had previously decided to carry out and do thereby controlling (ie excluding all their opponents) the outcome of the election! The above cumulatively demonstrate the legal issues raised for the entire process, the legality and the legalization of the control that EL.OK.

It is clearly demonstrated that the Administration of EL.OK. prohibits 20% of the approved unions with the right to vote by the General Assembly and excludes 45% of the nominations for the positions of the Board of Directors of EL.OK., the who belong to the opposition, altering the election result! In order to re-elect her candidates who belong to the current administration as well as all the candidates who are in her camp, with the aim of absolute control of the Board of Directors, catalyzing the Constitution, the Laws and every concept of democratic expression!

The same administration that is already accused by the Prosecutor of fraud against the Greek State related to grants – 386 B, is currently altering the election result with its actions and actions! The candidates of our combination as well as the unions that were excluded as well as unions with the right to vote will follow the legal path! In order to freely assert our constitutionally guaranteed right to participate in and choose governance in our Federation, not allowing anyone to

get caught
