How do you plan to guarantee the almost seven million that with the new statutes are required when arriving at the club?

The directive is going to be the one that supports the guarantees, but with different weights. There will be people who do not guarantee because they do not have assets.

Will the president or any of his managers be paid if he wins?

We do not contemplate it. If there were any change, we would submit it to the social mass. In principle I should not charge, but I would respect that others did.

Was there a possibility that you and Arechabaleta went together?

Never. I’ve known him since the 90s and we have a good relationship. We had a coffee when it was leaked that I was going to introduce myself and we had a pleasant chat. I see it as very complicated to merge plates a priori and a posteriori.
