  • Classic: The suspension of Vallecas, a precedent for Barça-Madrid?

Barcelona and Real Madrid will live this Wednesday (8:00 p.m.) a classic that will test all those actors, politicians, social, police and sports, responsible for the normal development of one of the most precious events in the world.

Before a potential audience of 680 million viewers spread over more than 180 countries , Tsunami Democràtic, with time to organize since the postponement of last October 26, has found the ideal scenario to internationalize its claims. «They may know that the Spanish State has an unsolved political problem with Catalonia. In an exceptional situation, we must act in an exceptional way », defends the organization.

Through its application, Tsunami has the support of more than 20,000 people [bus trips have been organized throughout Catalonia] to carry out actions inside and outside the stadium that are still unknown . But they worry both the security forces and the organizers. Especially to the Barcelona board, aware of the risk of sanctions. And that now also has a precedent to take precautions. Specifically, the suspension of Rayo Vallecano-Albacete last Sunday after a sector in the stands of Vallecas called the Ukrainian footballer Zozulia "Nazi."

No interest in suspension

Tsunami, through an interview via Telegram with TV3, said he has no interest in the suspension of the classic. Of course, the group wants the message Spain sit and talk to be visible both in the stands and on the grass. Barça, always under the approval of the Mossos d'Esquadra, will accept all kinds of banners and messages in their stands as long as they do not promote violence or are offensive in nature. "It is fully compatible to play this classic with a civic and peaceful claim to the exceptional situation in Catalonia ," said the Barcelona entity in a statement. The grass, however, will remain free. The spokesman of the board, Josep Vives, denied Tuesday that the club has negotiated with Tsunami or that he has planned to display any banner on the pitch .

“Everyone should be clear that the main victim of all this could be Barcelona. But we trust that, under the freedom of expression, prime responsibility, ”admits a directive source of the Barca club to this newspaper. In any case, the Barcelona entity has spent days studying the consequences of a hypothetical field invasion: from an economic sanction to the loss of the match or the closure of the Camp Nou, and always attending to its degree of collaboration in the field of security . This is one of the scenarios that most concern in the club because of the difficulties involved in preventing it. In the last World Cup final, and in the eyes of Russian President Vladimir Putin, four members of the Pussy Riot collective mocked the security measures and broke into the grass. Barcelona will have about 2,000 private security agents, who will be in charge of drawing the perimeter around the lawn. The Mossos would only intervene in cases of force majeure.

Fear of desertion in the stands

From doors to the outside, Barcelona tries to offer an image of serenity. The club, of course , had to appeal to its members and fans to go to the classic by detecting that Camp Nou can hardly be filled in the face of the increasing number of fertilizer releases and the difficulties to sell the remaining tickets. «It is obvious that there are interests in creating a specific story and a state of alarm. And we are not alarmed. That is why we appeal. For people to come to express themselves from respect and civility in this temple of freedom that is Camp Nou, ”said the Barcelona spokesman.

All the usual routines, in any case, have been altered. In the outskirts of the Sofía Hotel, from where both Barcelona, ​​as Real Madrid and the referees will depart for Camp Nou , on a route of about 500 meters , already rested on the morning of Tuesday many of the fences with which a safety cord since early Wednesday. The controls will be exhaustive.

Tsunami has summoned his followers for four strategic points around 4:00 pm around the stadium, precisely on the access roads to the venue. The teams plan to leave for Camp Nou two hours before the start of the crash, scheduled for 20.00.
