The Assembly of Barcelona began around 10:30 a.m., on second call, in Auditorium 1899 with the annual report of Joan Laporta. Although the president of the culé had promised that this year it would be in person, it was done online for the fifth time in the history of the Barça entity. Laporta began with a speech lasting almost an hour where he once again used the status of victim to conquer his social masses.
“To continue to live this reality, we must remain more united than ever and maintain institutional stability. Because we are fighting against everything and everyone, it is not an exercise in victimization, it is reality, we feel it every day. We see it with the Negreira case, where they stretch the gum and it appears when we are well. There are also people who don’t want us to win, it makes them angry. To defend ourselves, we cannot show weakness, they want to destroy us. This is why I do not share any of the apocalyptic predictions of those who are not there or expected. They want to create a reality that does not exist and this weakens them. And we cannot show weakness, we must be strong to fight against those who want to destroy us. “I am referring to the cave,” is how Joan Laporta ended his speech. Using victim status to gain approval from compromising partners.
And Joan Laporta’s speech to his partners was an ode to a perfection that does not exist at Can Barça. For President Culé everything is beautiful. And for this reason, he accused the “cave” of trying to destroy the culé entity.
“Our ties to democracy, freedom, our language, our culture and the model of ownership are inalienable. Maintaining all of this is not easy and should be a source of satisfaction for everyone. The reality that Barça is experiencing today is very good, the majority of Barcelona supporters are happy. Because we are on the eve of the 125th anniversary, because of the construction of a new stadium and because we are recovering economically. And without the partner scratching his pocket,” drew Laporta in his parallel reality.
Laporta’s speech to his partners
“We have passed the halfway point of our mandate and we can say with certainty and pride that a lot of good work has been done to bring Barça back to the place it deserves,” began Joan Laporta, emphasizing to his partners,
“We are much better today than when we arrived and this is confirmed by several economic indicators. This is due to the fact that the partners trusted us and gave us the institutional stability necessary for all these challenges. “We reached them because we did not pay attention to the catastrophic proclamations of some who are neither there nor expected,” said the Barça president.
“The journey is not yet complete and there is still a lot of work to do, but we are better at all levels than when we arrived in 2021. On a sporting level, I share the disappointment compared to last season , that is to say why we gave new impetus on the bench, but also in the structure of physical trainers. “Laporta insists on the physical aspect,” commented President Culé.
“We are very satisfied with the team, the work of Hansi Flick and also the work of our sporting director Deco, who reduced the team’s wage bill by 160 million and also rejuvenated it. Absolute respect for Xavi, who did an excellent job, but we understood that we had to give new impetus,” said Joan Laporta.
Laporta throws flowers at his economy
“In the economic field, we are cleaning up the club’s economy as quickly as possible and without endangering the ownership model. As long as we are here, the ownership model is safe and will always remain the property of the partners,” Laporta said.
“Season 23-24, in its financial year, I can say that the ordinary results are positive by 12 million euros. This is very important because this has not happened since 2017. Thank you for pulling the trigger because we had to give traction and keep our commitments, in addition to giving a boost at the sporting level. “We were courageous and we took the levers,” commented the Blaugrana leader.
“Barça Vision is the technological activity of the entity that has a slower maturation process and has not worked as we would have liked. Not because of a bad operation, but because there were non-payments from the partners we had. “We were courageous and we faced these unpaid debts, which is why we had extraordinary negative results which impacted -91 million euros,” said the Barcelona president.
“Barça is once again admired by the whole world.” The president presents an idyllic situation at all levels: social, economic, sporting, institutional…,” concluded Joan Laporta who wanted to show an idyllic situation which does not correspond at all to reality.
