Juan Rosell aspires to be president of Barcelona with an "apolitical" candidacy

Barely 21 days will separate the elections to the presidency of Fútbol Club Barcelona (January 24) from those of the Parliament of Catalonia (February 14).

Beyond the uncertainty typical of times of crisis, it will not be easy for both processes to be able to separate their paths in an electoral maelstrom with a marked ideological profile.

The candidates to succeed the resigned

and lead the Barça club for the next six years are aware of the need to fix a position.

The businessman

will do it in the coming days

(Barcelona, ​​1957).

According to sources close to the former president of the CEOE (2010-2018) and Fomento del Trabajo (1995-2011), his will be a transversal, "apolitical" candidacy, and with a clear objective: to rescue Barcelona from an economic collapse that threatens your solvency.

It is not the first time that Juan Rosell has been tempted by the idea of ​​presiding over Barcelona.

Although, despite the fact that his family has asked him for caution, he thinks this time to reach the end in his purpose.

He already has the necessary support, essential when it comes to having access to that guarantee of 120 million euros that would be necessary in the case of being elected president.

Also a physical headquarters and a work team.

In fact, it has incorporated as a fundamental piece of its campaign structure

, a historical collaborator of the former Barça president

, who could not convince who should be his stiletto in these elections,

, former president of Girona and the Catalan Football Federation.

Toni Freixa

, a candidate who also has a good friendship with Sandro Rosell, battles for the same spectrum of voters waiting for the failed Bartomeu dolphin,

, a former Barça vice president who resigned after

exploded

, ends up signing up for the battle.

Juan Rosell probed to establish future pacts that could clear the way to the presidency, what the businessman is clear about is that he will be the candidate who opposes the presidency.

Without ruling out that other applicants may be added to your project once you save one of the main setbacks of these elections: obtaining the 2,257 valid signatures to pass the cut.

The sovereign battle

The sovereign sector will be represented in the elections by the one who was president of Barcelona between 2003 and 2010,

.

The polls that already handle different candidacies give the Barcelona lawyer as the main favorite, with an advantage over the businessman

, who has been preparing a project for seven years in which

should be the main claim, and far away for now in voting intention of the rest of applicants.

Laporta, who will be accompanied by several of his former managers and regular collaborators, has secured the support of

, general director of the La Caixa Banking Foundation between 2014 and 2019.

Víctor Font, still a shareholder of the newspaper

and executive director of the consulting firm Delta Partners, will present a new member of his teams this Monday after having already announced

, uncle and former coach of tennis player

, and journalist

, who will be his chief of staff.

Font, despite never hiding his pro-independence profile - in fact, he has admitted it from the same day he presented his project in January 2019 -, he has nevertheless devised a cross-cutting project, uniting his team members of different ideologies.

The electoral triumph will depend, in addition to the struggle of Laporta and Font for the support of the same spectrum, on that bag of 25,000 votes that Bartomeu obtained when he took over the presidency of Barcelona in the 2015 elections. The fan, more and more open, it is completed with the charismatic

, endorsed by promoting the motion of censure that precipitated the end of the previous government and with a structure for collecting signatures already devised,

, who remained in Bartomeu's team until the end and with the important advantage of not having to endorse as part of the last board, a classic like

, and other

like

or

.

Despite the serious economic crisis that plagues a Barcelona that is threatened by the bankruptcy of not achieving an adjustment of 300 million euros (190 million must come out of the sports salary bill), few presidential chairs attract as much as his.
