FIFA Presidential elections will take place on May 29, 2015 and Sepp Blatter, the current President for the last 16 years wants at least one more term of four years (if not two terms) as President to oversee the World Cup Finals in Russia inn 2018 and in Qatar in 2022 !
He is so confident of his re-election that he has no "official" plan of action during the next four years ! He has even refused to join any discussion with other FIFA Presidential Election candidates in TV debates which were proposed !
How can he be so certain of his re-election ? Has he made secret promises while on his world-wide travels during the last four years ?
More than three months ago (on December 19, 2014) President Blatter promised that a redacted version of the Garcia Report would be prepared. Has he provided a date when this redacted report of 430 pages will be made available to the other FIFA Presidential Candidates and to the general public ?
This totalitarian negation of normal democratic rights is wholly unacceptable in Western societies and certainly does not reflect the spirit which used to pervade in the FIFA Organisation !
Looking at FIFA from the outside, what is surprising is the lack of astonishment at this situation by FIFA Executives and by the Judicial Authorities in Switzerland ! FIFA seems to be "in a world of its own" and "a law unto itself", i.e. totally self sufficient !
