The election drums sound against Joan Laporta
On Saturday there is a meeting of delegates at which arrives to the sound of election drums. Joan Laporta’s economic management contrasts with the team’s sporting moment. As the meeting approaches, critical voices are heard predicting alliances and trying to undermine a president who doesn’t even flinch at the moment.
Yesterday Laporta happily unveiled a 125th anniversary poster by Miquel Barceló and was completely unfazed by the darts being thrown his way by the opposition heading into Saturday’s meeting.
Victor Font made the first move with his piece., this is a Tuesday morning offer very harsh press conference against Laporta and his rule in which he accused them of defrauding a member, asked them to vote against the reports the club would submit, and did not rule out a vote of no confidence.
The former candidate for club president did not bite his tongue in the last elections.
“Laporta has the same tics as Bartomeu. Failure of management and false history. They are directly deceiving us. Over the past four years, we have spent 1.041 million more than we earned. The aggravating factor is that there is a completely fictitious transaction, such as the cost of Barça Studios. A real kick-ass, which, according to even the auditor, is not worth 401 million,” Font began.
The former presidential candidate went even further and assured that “If we talk about Bartomeu’s legacy, laugh at Laporta’s legacy. We are in the worst financial situation in history. “They say they only have 91 million in debt, but they are lying again.”
It was for all these arguments that Font declared before the assembly that “Right now I would vote against the budgets. Just so that Laporta’s legacy is not worse than Bartomeu’s. I urge the member to vote no.”
Considering all this, proposing censure plans: “It should only be activated when there are red lines. The problem is that every day we are getting closer to the red line. Nothing can be ruled out. If we don’t offer Barça the best contract in history with Nike, it will be a direct condemnation. But entering into 15-year agreements is a double-edged sword because in three years they will become obsolete again.”
But Victor Font is not the only one who has moved. Tomorrow, Thursday, the group “Som un Clam” will appear in society with a clear desire to stand for election and overthrow Laporta. after businessman Jordi Termens, who was alone, joined their cause. Som un Clam is led by Joan Camprubi Montal, grandson and great-grandson of the presidents of Barcelona and former President of the Catalan Football Federation, Jordi Rocheamong others.
Among them is also the story of Barcelona fans, Evariste Murtra, who at one time was Laporta’s manager, did not hesitate to say in an interview with the newspaper Sport that the delegates should have voted negatively on Laporta’s accounts.
And if you want more, financier Mark Syria (another who was also with Laporta at one time) is also planning a conference on this issue. The team is doing well, but the election drums are blaring all around.
