The entire opposition is calling for Laporta’s “immediate” resignation in a statement

The entire opposition is demanding the “immediate” resignation of the president of FC Barcelona, ​​​​​​​​​Joan Laportaand its board of directors. Through a statement issued this Sunday, January 5, the groups, platforms and associations linked to the Barça club, among them ‘Yes to the Future’represented by Victor Fontand’I shoutedof Joan Camprubídemanded the departure of Joan Laporta after the ‘cases of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor’ and the failure to sign Heurtel. Furthermore, if he does not take the test of resignation, the opposition demands that he submit to a valid question of confidence and, ultimately, does not rule out the activation of a motion of criticism.

Below is the full statement:

“The Barça volem. Estimate the Barça”

signed by:

Compromissaris FCB, Dignitat Blaugrana, El Senyor Ramon, Seguiment FCB, La Resistència del Palau, Sí al Futur, Suma Barça, Som un Clam, Transparència Blaugrana, Un Crit Valent.

“The Groups, Platforms and Associations under the signatories first want to announce that we do not want to have to sign and publish any new Communiqué. There are already some that we have had to issue in recent years, and this is the lack of the reaction from the current Board of Directors and the failure to take the steps that we often demand (inaction that has led to the point we are experiencing now), prompting us to react with another blow Club that works in the same way and well, that the management is good, that we are leaders in many positive initiatives, that we look forward to the future, because, then, the groups under the signatories will experience another kind of Barcelonaism But to deny the truth, to think that things can change because of spontaneous generation, is not part of mature associative behavior, and if we let society, we will lose what we want.

We will not describe in detail the chaotic situation we have experienced in recent weeks, which everyone knows. In the statement we issued on September 9, some of the undersigned groups have already made reference. In recent weeks, however, the list of grievances has grown significantly with the addition of relevant facts such as non-compliance with the auditor’s approval criteria accounts 23/24 to avoid the recognition of ordinary losses, the recognition of a commission that is difficult to understand for a mediation in the renewal of the contract signed in Nikethe attempt to hire a basketball section player with a dubious reputation with regrettable skills and the permanent uncertainty of the new Palau, the negligence in the registration of players Dani Olmo and Pau Victor waiting until the last moment when the Club had 4 months to do so, also giving rights for 20 years to companies from countries where the Board promised it would not do deals, in finally lose income for the coming years, or do not want to talk to the Animation Stand to resolve a conflict that harms us all, to mention some of the cases.

In addition to the outright electoral failures, the cases of negligence that have been proven are increasing and the social crisis is very evident, where we believe that, now and now, it does not contribute anything to be re-expressed to the public we all know. We just want to point out that continuing to live on the edge causes and causes one day the coin will not fall on the side you want, causing irreversible material, economic and social damage and a point, surely, of no return. In any case, the image and reputation of the Club, unfortunately, has been seriously damaged for some time.

We appealed to the Barcelona fans of the current members of the Board of Directors. We encourage the spirit of the motto they used to win the last election”Appreciation of Barça”. If this expression is true and more than words, they will understand and assume that they need to step aside, and therefore:

1. They have to resign to leave a new phase with new ways of working and managing and with people who have the core strengths necessary to give life and energy to an entity that needs innovation and professional management. Therefore, we ask you, first of all, to resign immediately.

2. Even if they do not want to resign because they consider that the partners should be heard, they can also submit to a valid question of trust, with statutory mechanisms to express it, as suggested by some of the Groups in under the signatories 4 months ago.

3. Third, not reacting to our earlier public proposals/requests means that we cannot rule out a final scenario, which is the activation of a Vote of Censurethe only tool available to members, an option that implies significant effort and wear and tear for its promoters and for the Club itself. That is why we ask you to prioritize your appreciation of Barça above any other consideration.

Now is the time to show true Barcelona fandom.
