One of the two candidates for the presidency of FC Barcelona, Víctor Font, has criticized, in an interview on TVE, that the former president and now also a candidate, Joan Laporta, is lying to the members about the works at the Camp Nou and other strategic points of the club.
“The worst thing he has done is lie. I always say that any ruler does things well and does things badly, and Laporta has also done things well during this term, but what is unacceptable is lying. What is unacceptable is to make a selection for a construction company for the club’s most important work and say that it is done based on economic criteria, when it is the most expensive and slowest work in history, so we do not know if the technicians ruled out this option, why was it selected?”, assured the candidate for the culé presidency in an interview on RTVE.
“Why are we told that New Era Visionary Group is a world leader in telecommunications and that is why it is selected as partner telecommunications; The truth is missing because it is a very opaque start-up company, with very strange people behind it that generates a lot of suspicions,” he said. continued with his criticism Víctor Fontwho this Sunday will face Laporta in the elections for the presidency of the Barça club.
Crossing of accusations between Joan Laporta and Víctor Font
“When we are told that we do not register, that we are not in one-on-one because we don’t want to, we are missing the truth. When we are told that for the 125th anniversary we will have a Camp Nou with 160 thousand spectators, we are missing the truth because we were told that this would happen at the Gamper and it didn’t happen either,” Font continued about what he considers to be “the lies” of the now former president Laporta.
The alternative to what the Barcelona management has been until a month ago has highlighted the importance of “have rulers who tell the truth”. “The partner deserves to have rulers who can do things well and can do things badly, but what they cannot have are partners who do not tell the truth.”
Praises the figure of Xavi Hernádez
Víctor Font has highlighted the figure of the former coach and former player of FC Barcelona, Xavi Hernández, who has openly criticized Laporta this week and whom he has also accused of lying to Barcelona fans.
“Xavi is one of the most important Barcelona fans in the club’s history. He is an independent, adult person who believes he is doing what is best for the club he wants. If there is one thing that Xavi prioritizesnow that he has no interest in returning to the club, it is the love for the club. If the 30 executives who have left told the truth, Mr. Laporta would not be able to run for office again,” the candidate revealed.
Víctor Font has also highlighted that if they win Sunday’s elections, the German Hansi Flick, the first team coachwill continue to lead the bench and will be offered a renewal.
“Not only is the continuity of Hansi Flick, but he will have stability What he needs because he will be able to register players and he will know that they are not going to leave, like Íñigo Martínez two weeks before the season starts, who will be able to have access to Haaland, who we are negotiating today. Thanks to this, if we win, we will be able to extend Hansi Flick’s contract,” he added.
“On Sunday, the member is going to choose which Barça he wants, faced with two very different Barça models. The member prefers an opaque Barça, which deceives its members, which lives away from its social mass, or wants a transparent Barça that does not distribute bad or good Barça cards. In short, the member has to choose between a limited Barça or an unstoppable one“concluded the candidate for the presidency of FC Barcelona.
