From the day of the resignation of Josep María Bartomeu like president of the Barcelona until the weekend of the elections to the presidency of the Barcelona group have trasncurrido 130 days. The total number of days equivale to four months. And along all this time the electoral contention has had moments summit to continuation.

The resignation of Bartomeu

The scandal of the 'Barçagate', the evil handle of the finances of the club evidenciado by the coronavirus did not cause that Bartomeu renounced. Along his stay, this always was defined by a capacity of resistance that went back to show in his final days

The partners culés, had to remember him that they are the true owners of the club and promoted a motion of censorship against him and his managerial board. They collected 19.532 valid for the cause. It would be on 27 October, less than 24 hours after declaring textualmente that "never have posed me resign" when this at last did it.

The applicants

Víctor Font, Jordi Farré and Lluís Fernández Alà those who were some of the impulsores of the vote of censorship, Whereas Toni Freixa and Xavi Vilajoana were the first to go in in scene by the career.

Emili Rousaud And Joan Laporta expected. The ex-president of the Barcelona went back with a lot of strength, with a ceremony in the Hospital of Sant Pau. Agustí Benedito And Pere Laughed were the last in formalising his project. Jordi Roche and Juan Rosell did not give the step in spite of that there were a lot of rumours around his figures. The final stage was of nine precandidatos.

The banner of Laporta

At the beginning, Laporta returned with a speech calmed and without some of the eccentricities that defined it. It would be around the middle of December that planted an enormous banner in Madrid, at all more and at all less than to metres of Santiago Bernabéu. "You win to go back to see you", said them to the partners of the Barça in the Spanish capital and, desacomplejado, to the fans merengues that suffered it between 2003 and 2010.

Another "hit" of Laporta

Laporta Delivered 10.272 guarantees of his project. With this figure, surpassed with a lot of soltura the cut of 2.257 ballots to follow aspiring to the presidency of the Catalan group. This same afternoon recognised the winner of the first part of the election, although it also asked prudence to his followers in seen to the second half.

By his part, Víctor Font, Toni Freixa and Emili Rousaud were the others partners that rebasaron the minimum figure. However, Rousaud could not turn into candidate after the process of validation of the supports.

Postponement

The elections went to celebrate on 24 January, but the restrictions in Catalonia by the covid and the little determination of the Generalitat and the managing commission of the Barcelona prevented that these celebrated .

Carles Tusquets, the boss of the managing board, did not ask to the authorities that allowed the vote by ordinary post in the comicios until the meeting of 15 January. Later, the leader in functions of the entity culé gathered with the three candidates and afterwards agreed that it would do on 7 March. With the remote vote approved legally, the club ensured a greater participation.

Messi

One of the first things that will have to do the winner of the elections is to speak with Messi, especially after the interview that conceded to Jordi Évole to finals of 2020. This yes, in that moment the rosarino cleared that it still had not taken a decision on if remain in the Barcelona or go to another club.

It can that it already was very late to convince it if it decided to go, but in case that "The Flea" have not taken a decision, if there is something that left clear this interview, is that to Messi will not convince it only with an offer of money, but with one that base in a good sportive project.

Hit in Champions

Afterwards of a flawless January in the League, a suffered and successful in the Glass of Rey and a sad in the Supercopa of Spain, the Barça suffered a new fuss in the Champions afterwards that sucumbieran in front of the PSG in the Camp Nou (1-4). The defeat in question, showed, again, that the Barcelona still is very far to litigate by the mentioned continental competition.

The sportive reconstruction of the club that began in the summer happened still is in process, by what still needs more time to go back to situate to the entity in the first competitive line of the European elite.

Leaks

The leak of the agreement of Messi to The World, those who called it the "Pharaonic agreement of Leo Messi that ruins to the Barcelona", as well as the report of technical secretary culé in favour of the signing of Eric García, and that besides included sentences little kind for current players of the team, did not like them to a lot of members of the staff of players.

The two events, showed that, in spite of the efforts of the managing board, the club still finds in a state of institutional unsteadiness. However, the candidates left very in clear that the agreement of Messi is not the causante of the current crisis of the club.

More than the "Barçagate"

Still today, the "Barçagate" follows giving of what speak, more still afterwards that they went arrested persons Bartomeu and other civil servants and ex civil servants by the case. Although the imputed were put in freedom, the case remains open and can not descartar that the Barcelona, for the moment prejudiced, see involved in a future by a possible fiscal crime.

Contrasts of projects

The three candidates have made three debates. One in World-wide Confederation of Penyes, another in RAC1 and a third with TV3 to try obtain more votes. In these there was not any surprise, any applicant played some unexpected letter. During months, the arrival of the elections saw very far, but finally the day to choose to the president arrived.
