IPDJ proposes suspension of the public utility status of the Gymnastics Federation

The Portuguese Institute of Sport and Youth (IPDJ) has proposed to the government the suspension of the public utility status of the Portuguese Gymnastics Federation (FGP) due to serious irregularities. These include non-compliance with a Sports Arbitration Tribunal (TAD) decision, the continuation of social bodies beyond their term, and violations of electoral rules. The government will now review the proposal and decide on the suspension's duration and effects. The FGP disputes the IPDJ's claims, asserting that it has taken steps to address the situation and that its current leadership remains legitimate. The suspension could impact financial support and the federation's public powers.
