The difficult task of firing Bartomeu: "We are very fair"

It is a resource that the Barça statutes contemplate, but it has only been tried to apply it seven times in the entire history of the club.

All, curiously, in the last 22 years.

As it is an exceptional measure, its requirements are very high.

So much so that only two votes of no confidence have actually reached the polls and none of them managed to force the departure of the then president.

, in a loose way.

, in a much tighter way.

For this reason, the 'Més que una moció' platform hopes to make history and precipitate the departure of Josep Maria Bartomeu.

If the motion does not succeed, the elections would be held on March 20 and 21.

To achieve this, first, they have to get at least 16,570 partner signatures.

For now, they have more than 7,500, but the deadline ends next Thursday.

“The collection is going well, although it is so difficult that it is not enough to just go well.

It would have to be perfect, but it is going well and we are satisfied », highlights

, one of the spokespersons of the platform, who, nevertheless, is optimistic.

"We are very fair, but we can get to court," he reiterates.

"We have until the 17th, although in theory it should end on the 21st. The club will not yield, it will continue to consider Saturdays as business days, despite the fact that there is a ruling that indicates otherwise," he laments.

The response of the partners, in the first days, was high.

Perhaps

statements

after his attempt to leave the club had a lot to do with it.

«In the end, what Messi does is verbalize what we have been saying for many years, some, and for months the people who are around the motion: with this board of directors nothing can be built, because they are incapable of putting a project on the table ”, highlights the spokesperson for 'Més que una moció'.

In all of history, only two presidents have seen this resource of the partners be activated on two occasions:

, although none of them reached the polls, and

himself

, who saw how the first, the one that

promoted

in 2017, did not make the cut.

Is the club worse now than in the time of Gaspart?

“It is always difficult to compare different times, but it is true that things are going very badly.

Now you have a sports, economic and institutional heritage that you did not have before and even then you are not able to take advantage of it.

In that sense, things are probably getting worse, ”says Duch.

Més que una moció is the sum of eight opinion groups and three pre-candidates, those of

,

and

.

Joan Laporta, meanwhile, signed in favor this week, but remains on the sidelines for now, while preparing his new jump to the electoral arena.

If he does, many consider him the big favorite.

«In 2015 I remember that there were polls in January or February that gave Laporta a 50% vote intention and, afterwards, what happened happened.

Polls are what they are, and Barça is so fickle, so volatile, that you can't work too hard on them.

In any case, if you want to present, like any other partner, go ahead.

We will try to ensure that the elections are as soon as possible for the good of Barça ”, says the spokesman for 'Més que una moció'.

And when would the elections take place, in that case?

“The calendars are set by the statutes.

There are some minimum periods and other maximum ones.

If the club shortens the terms, the elections could take place in mid or late December.

If it lengthens them, it could be in January, "he explains.

Cyber ​​attacks

Going all to one, in this case, is vital, although the fact that one of the candidates,

, has requested a series of initially unnecessary data has generated a certain distance with his option.

“The unit is not in danger, it goes ahead, because the objective is common.

We have to move forward with the motion together, it is clear that separately we would not succeed.

Now, we will do the path in parallel, because there are things that some groups cannot or do not want to do and it costs nothing for each of them to work their own ways to reach that common goal, “says the spokesperson for the platform.

The platform's website itself was the victim of a computer attack.

An action whose authorship is practically impossible to discern.

“Actually, Cor Blaugrana's colleagues, who are the ones who initially launched the web and started it all, have shared the so-called proofs of the attack received and it is totally anonymous, from anonymized browsers.

It is completely impossible to know who carries out these attacks, they do not leave too much trace.

But, honestly, it doesn't take too much sleep away from us, quite the opposite.

If we receive this type of attack, it means that we are doing something right.

We recover the infrastructures, we start the web again and we continue working ”, highlights a Duch who does not hesitate to reiterate his optimism.

«We have more difficulties than the previous ones, among other things because we have to collect 15% of signatures, when before it was 5%, it is much more difficult, and in the next stage, which is voting, we have to achieve more than one 66% of the votes.

But, if we get to the vote, I think we can win it, "he says.
