A founding member of the FIA expressed concern over Mohammed Ben Sulayem’s proposed statute changes, warning of a potential dark period in the organization characterized by governance failure and democratic backsliding. Key proposals in the changes include barring candidates with integrity concerns and empowering the president to appoint senate members. The Austrian OAMTC sent a letter to FIA World Council members, cautioning that the changes could compromise the organization’s integrity. Despite Ben Sulayem’s belief that the revisions will strengthen the FIA, skepticism remains among groups like OAMTC. The letter emphasized the importance of rejecting the changes now and reconsidering them after the next election to avoid harm to the FIA. The OAMTC raised concerns regarding recent controversies and potential negative impacts on the FIA’s governance.
