Laporta Denies to declare in Spanish in front of the judge

Joan Laporta has denied to speak in Spanish in front of the judge in the litigio that keep the Barcelona club and the company MCM for the advertising exploitation of the façade of The Farm

This Monday has begun the trial in which the advertising company demands 100 million euros to the Barça by incumplimiento of agreement. The taut moment of the session has arrived when Joan Laporta has insisted in doing the statement in Catalan, and the lawyer of MCM, the mediático Mario Conde, has him recriminado his attitude. The sight has been about to to postpone by the fault of a translator, but finally has been able to do without more incidences.

"After being here expecting from the nine of the morning, think that have all the right to declare in Catalan, that is my own tongue and the one of my country", said Laporta. The headline of the court of first instance number 25, Antonio Moral, has recriminado to Laporta his attitude and has offered him the possibility to go back morning or Thursday to declare with an interpreter. "Already I say him that the Thursday am of trip", has answered him Laporta, that has gone back to express his indignation: "it seems Me a lack of respect for the declarants that there is not an interpreter of Catalan here and now". Finally, Mario Conde has taken part in the conflict between the judge and the councillor of the City council of Barcelona. "Señoría, I would accept the translation that did me to me another letrado", has taken part.

The same Laporta also has starred one of the others anecdotes of the day when, to the entrance, has found with Sandro Rosell and has denied him the greeting.
