• Threat: Democratic Tsunami asks to block Camp Nou
  • Zidane. "I never felt fear on a soccer field"

The Football Club Barcelona assumes that the next 18-D, date in which the classic should finally be disputed after the postponement of October 26, fans will express themselves freely in the stands of the Camp Nou. This has been the case to date, the independentist teachings of the ANC and Òmnium being usual before the start of the matches. The Barca club is shielded in the freedom of expression of the fans, as long as they do not show messages that incite violence and the demonstrations are of a peaceful nature.

However, in the Barça club they also fear that the movements that the anonymous organization Tsunami Democràtic is carrying out, without any visible interlocutor with whom to negotiate, end up harming him directly. This Tuesday night, the condition arrived for the classic to be played normally: "It is very easy for the game to be played normally: it is necessary to guarantee the presence of #SpainSitAndTalk in the stands and on the pitch. This is the proposal we have made to the Barcelona Football Club, "he announced on his Twitter account.

The Mossos d'Esquadra, responsible for the security of the stadium, have not issued any report recommending the suspension of the match. In fact, the Catalan police are already preparing the device. In the morning, Tsunami Democràtic had announced an action to protest against the sentence of the procés, which consists of surrounding from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. - the meeting is scheduled for 8 p.m. - the streets adjacent to Camp Nou through four concentration points The independence organization claims to have the support of more than 18,000 people, who should help block all access to the Barcelona stadium.

Both the coach of Real Madrid, which should make a path about 700 meters from the Princesa Sofia hotel to the stadium as the players themselves of Barcelona, who come to the Camp Nou in their private cars at home games, they would be well damaged and at the expense of a safety cord that will ensure the passage of vehicles. It would be necessary to resolve, however, access to partners and followers with input.

Field invasion

Once this issue is resolved, the concern grows in relation to what may occur within the stadium and if the security forces, if necessary, could stop a hypothetical field invasion. "Many of the people, with membership tickets or subscriptions, have already received the relevant slogans and have organized to develop the planned actions for a day that will be followed by 650 million people worldwide," Tsunami Democràtic warned yesterday. In turn, there is also fear of possible electrical sabotage, a threat that already existed when the game was postponed last October.

All the actors - clubs, League, Federation, Security Forces, etc ... - strive to maintain tranquility, but in all it is intuited that it is only a pose, and that the week until the dispute of the Party will be very tense.

One of those actors who try to convey normality is the acting Interior Minister, Fernando Grande-Marlaska , who yesterday expressed his commitment to «guarantee security in coordination and cooperation with the Mossos d'Esquadra and the Interior Ministry» of the Generalitat. And he launched a promise: «The match will take place in the conditions of a sporting event (...). More than worried, we are busy ». The Government of the Generalitat, meanwhile, also says to be convinced of the dispute of the meeting. At least this was stated yesterday by its spokesman, Meritxell Budó, who also said that the Catalan Executive "will guarantee the rights of the whole world." That is to say, «that the members and fans can attend the field, at the same time that the people who want can make mobilizations and concentrations».

LaLiga doesn't see it so clear. Employers' sources admitted to this newspaper their disgust at a situation of uncertain outcome. An issue that, according to LaLiga, could have been prevented from having accepted both Real Madrid and Barcelona that the classic of this first round was played at the Santiago Bernabéu. A new postponement, according to the employer, would cause serious setbacks to a saturated calendar.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, maintains the plan. His travel protocol does not change - he will do it on the same day of the game and will leave the Barcelona airport by coach from the same landing strip - and is available to the security forces. Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid coach, was explicit: "I never felt fear on a soccer field."
