Critical open letters to the IFSC President

Peter Crane, who started the petition Cancel the IFSC Live-streaming subscription fee, which 12 000 have signed, has been in contact with IFSC directly. Based on the communication and the lack of answers, Peter has written a very critical article under the headline, Behind the Deal – is the IFSC President hiding?, which ends. "On the IFSC homepage, Marco Maria Scolaris (IFSC President) promotes "good governance", "transparency" and "athletes [sic] inclusion in the IF decision-making processes at all levels". Marco Maria Scolaris' job as IFSC President is to govern in a way that reflects those values, not to do the opposite. In this sense, we believe he has failed as IFSC President. With climbing en route to the Olympics, we feel the federation needs a stronger, more qualified leadership team than ever – and one that practices the values it preaches. Marco Maria Scolaris, if you are listening, come out of the dark and give the international community the honest, transparent response they deserve."
