“It would be nice if Real Madrid removed the video and apologized”
BARCELONA, 18 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The spokeswoman for the Government, Patrícia Plaja, has described as “indecent fake new'” Real Madrid’s video response to the words of the president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, in which he considers the white team as the team of the regime, and has urged to remove the video and apologize.
He said it at the press conference this Tuesday after the Executive Council when asked about said video: “It is such a crude manipulation of history, that it seems from a manual”, Plaja has maintained, who has affirmed that this issue is not has addressed at the Government meeting.
He has called it worrying that the content of the video -in which he wonders if FC Barcelona is not the ‘regime team’– comes from a club like Real Madrid: “It is worrying, irresponsible and an offense to people suffered by the Franco regime”.
In the video, Real Madrid highlights events such as the fact that the Camp Nou was inaugurated by José Solís Ruiz, Franco’s Minister General, that the Catalan club awarded the General its gold and diamond insignia, decorated him three times and named him a member of honor in 1965.
Plaja recalled that the former president of FC Barcelona Josep Suñol was shot by the Franco regime in 1936, something that “it may be that in Madrid they don’t remember”.
“It would be nice if Real Madrid removed the video and apologized,” the spokeswoman concluded.
