MADRID, 3 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
FC Barcelona has shown its “deep anger, indignation and weariness” at the information published this Monday in the Catalan newspaper La Vanguardia, which states that the president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, allegedly presented false evidence against the Barça club to the Prosecutor’s Office in the ‘Negreira case’, and has requested the resignation of the president of the employers’ association.
“Given the seriousness of the information that appeared today Monday in La Vanguardia, in which the president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, is linked as the executor in the presentation of false evidence before the Prosecutor’s Office to incriminate our club, FC Barcelona wants to express his deep anger, indignation and fed up”, begins the statement from the culé entity.
“For this reason, we urgently require the president of LaLiga to appear publicly to offer explanations, beyond the tweet sent at dawn by Mr. Tebas, fleeing from the studio and with a threatening patina,” he added.
In addition, he insists that the club is being “victim of a media lynching.” “FC Barcelona, as president Joan Laporta has been saying in recent weeks, feels like the victim of a media lynching for events that have never happened: Barça has never bought referees,” he pointed out.
“A handful of media and opinion-makers have participated in this harassment with more or less bad intentions, and with LaLiga behind the scenes fanning the fire against our club, with contributions from its president that have only gone in one direction: trying to condemn us before public opinion before the facts are judged,” he said.
In this sense, he stressed that “it is not the first time that the president of LaLiga uses all his media machinery to blow up FC Barcelona”. “Apart from his usual nonsense, we could never have imagined that he would have tried to incriminate our club with false evidence,” he said. “The news that La Vanguardia publishes today is so serious that it should alert all LaLiga clubs, due to practices that do not fit in with the functions that are attributed to the president of LaLiga,” he continued.
“Only for this fact, that of attributing functions that do not correspond to him, although also out of dignity and respect for the presidency of LaLiga, Mr. Tebas should resign from his function. However, aware of his obsession with persecuting FC Barcelona and showing constantly his aversion and manifest antipathy towards our club, we understand that the current president of LaLiga will persist in his behavior of continuing to harm our club”, he concluded.
