He says that legally he will be able to do it and that he would like to do it with the same board of directors.

Confirms that they have presented more than twenty demands to opinion members to defend the honor of the club

In the turn of interventions by the delegate partners, one of them asked Joan Laporta if he intends to run in the next elections for the presidency and asked him if he does not do so, to let one of his managers do so.

The president has hinted that he will run. “Legally I could do it. As long as I can and can do it, I will do it and I will want to do it with this board of directors because they strive, work and are committed to the project. And then we’ll see. Here the president ends up being whoever the partners want“Laporta said.

During this question time, the board of directors confirmed that it has presented more than 20 lawsuits against opinion leaders for defamation and “some have already borne fruit, forcing them to rectify.”

He has also been asked about the role that Alejandro Echevarría has in the club, relating the president’s former brother-in-law to the Francisco Franco Foundation: “We have a commitment to democracy and the country and we respect everyone’s way of thinking. In the Barça fits all of us.”

And he has also spoken about the possibility of doing business with Qatar: “I was very critical when they told me that Qatar Foundation was the same as Unicef. It is not my job to mess with the country, with any country in the world. “If we can get contracts from countries where football is emerging, I think we should be aware of the opportunities that arise.”
