18 Feb
Summary
- Barcelona election candidate uses Messi's image on a banner.
- The banner mimics a past campaign tactic by Joan Laporta.
- Messi is not involved in the election campaign but plans return.
Barcelona's upcoming elections are marked by the lingering impact of Leo Messi's departure, a situation being used as a political tool. One candidate has displayed a banner featuring Messi's image with the slogan "Looking forward to seeing you again," a tactic reminiscent of Joan Laporta's campaign five years prior.
Despite this electoral maneuvering, Messi has no immediate plans to involve himself in the campaign. He is focused on his current football career and an upcoming World Cup. While he anticipates a future return to Barcelona, he has stated that now is not the time for political engagement.
The election period highlights the club's sensitivity regarding Messi's exit, with campaign promises and symbolic gestures becoming central to the race for leadership.
