Joan Laporta does not cease in his dialectical war against Real Madrid and Florentino Perez. After responding to the accusations of the president of Real Madrid in relation to the Negreira case, which he described as “acute Barcelonitis”, the Barcelona president took advantage of the club’s traditional Christmas dinner to attack without limits the eternal rival: “They practice cynicism and excessive arrogance; they have a rubbish television from which they vomit lies and intoxicate constantly and permanently,” he said.
In this line, the Blaugrana president admitted that he needed to get “a little” off his chest with this situation: “I have to say that this dimension that we have reached also generates envy, and that these are managed very badly by those who, using bad arts, skip all codes of conduct, ethical and moral, and not only sports. I suppose you know who I am referring to: those who are the architects of permanent smear campaigns against our shield and our essence. And we are not going to allow this. They are the same ones who confuse power with unenlightened despotism.”
Family speech
At the Palau Blaugrana, and in front of all the squads of the club’s professional sections and their respective technical staff, Laporta spoke openly about everything that has happened during these last few days in the open war he is waging with Real Madrid and Florentino Perez. In this pre-Christmas speech, Laporta also wanted to send a message of optimism for the future by hinting at the upcoming elections: “I would like to continue to see you here next Christmas celebrating Barca’s successes. Visca el Barca and visca Catalunya.”
Laporta also offered his more personal side in an interview with TVE in which, despite being recorded last November, he was already harshly critical of Real Madrid’s new attitude in relation to the controversial Negreira case: “In Madrid there is a sense of power, in Barcelona freedom. Relations with Florentino are fine. They want to stretch the Negreira process like chewing gum. Now they have chronic barcelonitis. They spend their days talking about Negreira. We have explained it very well and we have provided evidence in court that there were reports and no one else has provided evidence that we bought referees, because it did not happen.”
