Freixa: “Too many people want to hurt Barça”

Toni Freixa was the first candidate to react to the arrests of Josep Maria Bartomeu, Romà Gómez Ponti, Òscar Grau and Jaume Masferrer. In his line of defense at all costs of Barça, the former spokesman and former candidate in 2015 did not direct his reflection to the detainees but to what they consider to be powers that go against the stability of Barça as an institution: “Too many people wanting to hurt Barça; we will not allow it, you will never walk alone.”

Joan Laporta was told the news of Bartomeu's arrest on a station in Lleida. This was the reaction of the former president between 2003 and 2010, much more restrained: “It is the first news I have. Well, first, presumption of innocence. It is not good news for Barça because he has been president of the club. And well, if it is true that he did not have a good management, it is still president of Barça and the news has not been pleasant. It is shocking news “.

Later, from the communication department of the candidacy Estimem the Barça led by Joan Laporta, the first official reactions arrived: “Given the records that have taken place in the club's offices, as well as the arrests of the former president and executives of the club, from Estimem to Barça we want to say that we have the utmost respect for judicial and police actions, and for the presumption of innocence These have greatly damaged the image and reputation of our club. “

Víctor Font also reacted with a retweet that reads the following: “We must totally put an end to corruption and corruption. They neutralize us, they kill the meritocracy … It is a way of making inherent to an era that must be eradicated, if we want to move forward as a country without hindrance or fear …”.
