Two weeks ago, the vote of censorship against Josep Maria Bartomeu and his board reached the signatures validated necessary to advance in the process against the current directive of the FC Barcelona. In fact, the club sent the past week to the Government of Catalonia his proposal regarding the dates to make the referendum so that the Catalan government studied them and gave his approval.
The initial proposal of the Barcelona club was foreseen for the days 1 and 2 November, that fall in Sunday and Monday, in a plan of vote decentralised with 13 headquarters delivered by Catalonia, seven more in the rest of Spain and another added in Andorra. However, several sectors of the press ensure that the Generalitat has not approved the protocol presented by the FC Barcelona.
This Wednesday, the Barcelona club gathered with the Catalan government to argue on the roads of performance for the referendum of the Vote of Censorship as well as so that it begin to give the gradual presence of public in the Camp Nou. However, the answer of The Office of l'Esport, with Gerard Figueras to the control, would have been negative and would have asked to the FC Barcelona improve the protocol to guarantee the security.
From several sectors aims that the requirements of the Generalitat to give green light to the process would have been that there are more points of vote and turns to avoid that there are agglomerations. The next week, there would be a new meeting for pactar a new protocol so that it can make the referendum, that also will go very tied to how advance the pandemia in Catalonia.
In fact, there is risk that finally from the Catalan government do not finish allowing the vote of censorship, since the coronavirus is increasing the positive in an important number. Everything will depend on how advance the pandemia but, to day of today, there is not at all sure. Neither dates for the referendum neither for the possible turn of the public to the Camp Nou.
More difficulties for the board
To all the difficulties to which has to face up the managerial board in front of the pandemia and the institutional crisis, adds the confinement of Josep Maria Bartomeu. The president of the FC Barcelona was in contact with a familiar that later gave positive by coronavirus, reason by which the maximum mandator culé remained in quarantine. In a first test, gave negative and now is expecting to make a second to be able to abandon the confinement.
