Josep Maria Bartomeu resists along with his directors, denies a resignation en bloc and still refuses to call the vote of no confidence.
Before making any decision, the president of Barcelona wants the Catalan Civil Protection Plan (Procicat) to be pronounced.
That it is this technical committee formed, among others, by political leaders from various areas of the Generalitat, the one that decides whether the appropriate sanitary conditions are in place for a referendum to be held against its board on November 1 and 2.
Josep Maria Bartomeu's
request
to
Pere Aragonès
, vice-president with the functions of president of the Generalitat, was far from accidental.
Everything was condensed there: "Our entity has always been at the side of the country's institutions, loyally and committed."
But Bartomeu, who always thought that by acting as a political, institutional and sports tightrope walker he could save himself from whatever crises came upon him, he found himself with the firm opposition of the Government.
The president of Barcelona, in his last survival exercise, agreed to keep the pulse at the extraordinary meeting of his board held this Monday at the Camp Nou.
At least until the Procicat takes its share of responsibility in the matter.
So far there has been no way for Bartomeu to convince the Government of the Generalitat to postpone the referendum.
A Barcelona president was never expelled from the club through a motion of censure, because both
Josep Lluís Núñez
and
Joan Laporta
saved theirs.
For this, the maximum Barça president had already denounced before the Civil Guard an alleged fraud in the validated signatures (19,380) that forced the vote.
The case, according to the Ser, is already in the hands of court number 32 of Barcelona, when number 1 is inhibited by not seeing any relationship with what Barça was claiming, the supposed connection with a subscription resale plot.
What Barcelona did not expect - or perhaps yes - was the wall that has been raised in front of the Palau de la Generalitat.
There he has found no allies.
For the members of the Government, nothing prevents the vote against Bartomeu despite the advance of the second wave, the closure of bars and restaurants and the state of alarm decreed by
Pedro Sánchez
.
"There is no legal or sanitary impediment that prevents its celebration,"
Gerard Figueras
, General Secretary of l'Esport
, warned last Friday
.
Bartomeu, cornered, bet big on Sunday.
First, sending a 21-page protocol so that the vote of no-confidence could be held on the scheduled dates (November 1 and 2), but in a single venue, the Camp Nou, not in 21 as the Generalitat had claimed before the Organizational "impossibility".
Although nothing like the letter sent by Bartomeu to Aragonès that same night, in which, in addition to requesting the postponement of the vote, he blamed him for hypothetical consequences: "We risk the lives and well-being of many people."
The president of Barcelona reminded the Catalan vice president that 110,133 members would be called to vote.
And that the average age of the social mass rises to 58 years, with more than 40,000 exceeding 60. "Our main concern is focused on avoiding any action that places these groups at a very high risk of contagion, taking into account their vulnerability", continued Bartomeu, who assured that his club is limited to "protecting citizens."
