Summary
- Victor Font criticized Joan Laporta's use of club figures.
- Font claims images were used to create a misleading narrative.
- Font emphasized Barcelona belongs to members, not one leader.
During Barcelona's recent presidential elections, candidate Victor Font publicly criticized incumbent president Joan Laporta.
Font's remarks came as images circulated showing Laporta with former club captain Sergio Busquets and Ballon d'Or winner Aitana Bonmati on election day, which were widely interpreted as a show of support.
Font dismissed this interpretation, suggesting the photos were used to deliberately confuse voters and create a false narrative. He highlighted that while he also has personal relationships with club figures, he has refrained from leveraging them for his campaign.
The candidate stressed that FC Barcelona belongs to its members, not to any single president, declaring, "This is FC Barcelona, not FC Laporta." He expressed optimism about his electoral prospects, stating, "This smells like victory."
