Barcelona presidential candidate Victor Font has vowed to sue Real Madrid TV if he takes over from Joan Laporta at the helm of the club.
The candidates are now campaigning hard ahead of next month’s elections, and Font has spoken out about Los Blancos after Barcelona’s disappointing defeat to Girona on Monday night in La Liga.
Real Madrid TV has been in the spotlight this season for criticising referees, and Font wants action to be taken.
“After the match against Girona, we must make it clear that Barcelona
fans are deeply disappointed and more vulnerable than ever,“ he told reporters.
“For the last five years, Real Madrid has managed to distort the competition. During this time, Real Madrid has been awarded 26 more penalties than Barça.”
“When we talk about defending the club, we’re not talking about making pronouncements and slogans, but about taking action. That’s why we are working to act and defend Barça with concrete actions.
“Our legal team is preparing a complaint against the RFEF and the CTA, which will be filed after we win the elections, to ensure that the manipulation being carried out by Real Madrid Television and the conflicts of interest involving a woman who is part of the CTA and is the wife of a Real Madrid employee, Yolanda Parla, are denounced. Defending the club isn’t about shouting, it’s about taking action.
“We are going to sue Real Madrid Television; we are not going to side with Florentino and Tebas. We are not their friends.”
Laporta has also reacted to the defeat to Girona, telling fans he remains confident that Barcelona can still win La Liga even if “there are many people who don’t want us to win it.”
