The motion of censure against Bartomeu is about to fall

The motion of censure against Josep Maria Bartomeu is near to become a reality. Several Barcelona platforms, at the request of the former director of Laporta, Albert Perrín, met on Thursday, according to Catalunya Ràdio, to lay the groundwork and coordinate a common strategy to start a motion against him current president. This same Friday will make official the implementation of the motion in a telematic press conference.

Waiting for some pre-candidates of weight as Victor Font –already announced that the would support, although he showed some reluctance about the way they have managed the proposal- or Joan Laporta formally join to this initiative, the first step will be Wednesday, September 2, expected date for pick up the ballots of the signatures in the club offices. The promoters are confident of having about 33,000 at least.

From next day upon collection of signatures, the pistol shot exit of the motion of censure. In total they will have fourteen business days, that is, from Monday to Friday, for gather a total of 15% of partners of the current census. We are talking about some 16,500 signatures that they would have to collect before September 23.

The process it gets complicated greatly for coronavirus fault. Generally the signature collection concentrates the match day at the Camp Nou, where a good part of the club's social mass gathers, but this possibility is curtailed on this occasion, as the access of people to the games is prohibited.

Hence, the promoters of the initiative have thought of a structure of more than 40 permanent stands distributed throughout Catalonia to collect signatures necessary, also taking advantage of the partner's 'warmth' after the announcement of the departure of Leo Messi.

If I finally know they get the signatures necessary and are validated by the club, the motion 'real' machinery, which implies a vote in which a minimum of 10% of participation of the census and a 66% of votes against of the president so that twas successful.

In fact, the last motion censorship that achieved exceed the bar of signatures was the one that promoted Oriol Guitart against Joan Laporta July 6, 2008. He managed to win it, with 23,870 votes in favor to 14,871 against, but did not reach 66% necessary to approve it, finally obtaining 'only' 60.60% of the support.
