• Classic. The plans of the CDR to burst Barça-Madrid
  • Bartomeu. "Without insulting, the partner may come to show his claim"

The League, the Ministry of Interior and the two clubs involved look towards December 18, the date scheduled for the classic, crossing their fingers, waiting for the match to be held. After the suspension of last October 26 because of the manifestations of extreme violence in Barcelona , now all parties are moving towards the duel, assuming that, this time, it will be possible to play. Simple optimism or official certainties?

At the moment, the League has not received specific warnings that the encounter is in danger, as it did in October, when the security forces recommended the postponement because the normal development of the event is not guaranteed. Subsequent reports revealed the plans of the CDRs to block the exit of the hotel where Real Madrid will be housed or the intention of cutting off the white bus on the way to Camp Nou. The invasion of the countryside was at the time and remains now one of the threats that loom over the classic. In the League they fear that an assault of this type, well organized, will be impossible to control for the private security of Barça.

Although the temperature seems to have dropped in Catalonia, pending the political life of the pact between the PSOE and ERC to take Pedro Sánchez to the Moncloa, the truth is that Tsunami Democràtic , the platform that leads the independence protests, again pointed to Barça- Madrid as a preferential objective. He did not specify his actions, but he did make it clear that they would try to get noticed on a day with such international visibility.

That those same days, on the eve of the party, some of the imprisoned politicians (the Jordis, maybe Junqueras) may go out, thanks to the acceleration of prison permits, is a variant that, as they suspect in the League, would soften The risks of the classic. Meanwhile, Madrid prepares its trip following the usual protocol, hoping to receive the relevant security measures in Barcelona.

Free way to the claims

The white expedition will arrive by plane the same day of the meeting, on Wednesday 18, and will be installed at the Princesa Sofía hotel, its usual headquarters. From there, it will cover the kilometer away to Camp Nou on a bus. The vehicle will not be his official one, as in the last eight years, but one rented in Barcelona, ​​without Real Madrid badges. A prevention measure that is usually applied in destinations of maximum rivalry.

Meanwhile, in the Barca club they remain extremely cautious about the actions Tsunami Democràtic can carry out. While Barcelona will not negotiate any joint action with the group -such as they intended from Tsunami, which already has more than 10,000 people willing to protest in the classic-, President Josep Maria Bartomeu has ensured that fans who come to the Camp Nou will have free way to express their claims. As has happened so far with the banners that are usually displayed on the side of the stadium by organizations such as Òmnium or the ANC. Of course, as long as the actions carried out do not prevent the normal development of the party and move away from all kinds of violence.

“A vindictive act is compatible with a football match, as long as it is peaceful. The stadium is free. There is freedom of expression, movement, and also to display banners and banners. Always without insulting, ”said the top Barcelona president this weekend.

The Mossos d'Esquadra, as it has happened to date, continue to guarantee the safety of the classic.
