The motion of censure against the president of Barça,
Josep Maria Bartomeu
, is closer to becoming a reality.
The driving force behind this punishment vote against the current top Barça leader,
Més que una moció
, has presented this afternoon at the club's offices more than the
16,520 signatures
it needed to precipitate the departure of the board from the polls.
In total, all those who are part of the platform, among which are eight opinion groups (Compromisaris FCB, Cor Blaugrana, Dignitat Blaugrana, El Senyor Ramon, La Resistència del Palau, Manifest Blaugrana, Noies Twitter and Seguiment FCB, and the pre-candidacies of Víctor Font, Jordi Farré and Lluís Fernàndez), have presented
20,731 signatures
of Barcelona members.
Now, the club must proceed to its corresponding validation, but everything invites us to think that the motion against Bartomeu will finally be settled at the polls.
The only two (of the seven that have been promoted in the entire history of Barcelona), which reached the polls -
one against Josep Lluís Núñez, in 1998, and one against Joan Laporta, in 2008
-, saw only
5% of the total
of the submitted signatures were invalid.
A fact that, extrapolated to this vote of punishment, suggests that around
19,700 signatures
would be valid
.
The second motion of censure against Bartomeu, which comes three years after the one unsuccessfully promoted by
Agustí Benedito
, had the added difficulty that it was necessary to obtain the support of 15% of the social mass, while the previous ones required only 5% %.
In these cases, in addition,
the collection of signatures took place with match days in between
and in a reality in which both displacements and interactions were not deeply affected, as has happened this year.
Furthermore, the number of supports obtained is more than double that obtained by
Oriol Giralt in 2008
(he presented 9,473 partner signatures) and more than three times collected by the
L'Elefant Blau
platform
, in which
Joan Laporta
began to stand out as an opponent of Núñez's management in 1998, which brought a total of 6,014 rubrics to the Barça entity's offices.
Not even the sum of the only two motions that, up to now, managed to reach the polls reaches the number achieved per month that one motion had throughout this month of September.
Once the validation has been passed, with an
estimated term of about 10 days
, the Barça club must organize the vote of no confidence against Bartomeu, which would take place
on November 1 at the latest
and which requires a
two-thirds majority with respect to the total of the votes cast
to unseat the current president of Barça.
According to the statutes, the elections could take place in mid-December of this year or be moved, at most, to January of next year.
What is clear is that Bartomeu, after the blank season, the humiliation against Bayern in the Champions League, the attempt to leave the club by Messi and the harsh accusations of the Argentine against the top leader, has really been very touched.
"20,000 signatures is strong, very strong, and I think he will resign today
,
"
said
Jordi Farré
, one of the candidates for future Barça elections.
"It is outrageous to reach this figure, it is a scandal. The normal thing would be for Bartomeu to present his resignation right now because, if I had 20,000 opponents, I would resign," said
Marc Duch
, spokesman for the Més que una moció platform.
"It is a matter of exhaustion. It is not because of the 2-8 or because Messi wanted to leave. They are five years of disasters. In two or three months, the club can sign many things and it will not be so that the interest of Barça prevails , but for individual interests to do so, "he said.
