The crisis in Barcelona does not stop at the poor sporting results of recent times, to which was added the painful 3-1 fall this Saturday at the Camp Nou in the classic against Real Madrid.
The club also faces a very complicated institutional scenario and the information coming from Catalonia asserts that this very Monday the
entire Board of Directors could resign
, starting with its president.
The Barcelona board will meet this Monday from 13:30 in Spain (9:30 in Argentina), with the date of the motion of censure against the leading team chaired by Josep Maria Bartomeu as the background.
The directive rushed the legal maximum allowed by statute to meet and, after the last meetings with the Catalan autonomous government, finalized the preparations for the celebration of the motion of censure, initially scheduled for November 1 and 2.
But the
health security requirements of
the Catalan government could influence the date chosen, despite the fact that the promoters of the motion of censure appeal to the need to respect the law and that it be held next week at the latest.

In that situation, the board will have to decide on its position regarding the referendum.
And as stated by the Catalan media
Sport
in its online edition this Sunday, the possibility that
all leaders present their resignation
on Monday on this issue is even being considered.
Barcelona comes from asking the Generalitat to accept a postponement of the consultation with the partners as a result of the health emergency due to the pandemic, but so far the answer has been negative.
"If the Generalitat de Catalunya remains in its idea of approving the referendum for days 1 and 2, Josep Maria Bartomeu is willing to propose to its directors to present tomorrow, during the board of directors, the resignation of all", he stated
Sport
, who cited the statements of a leader: "We will not be complicit in this nonsense. People's lives are more important, because there will always be time to vote," he explained.
In addition to the contacts with the work group of the autonomous government for the organization of the referendum, and the new scenario due to the pandemic, the directive will also analyze how the labor negotiation table is being developed to reduce the wage bill of footballers and employees of the club encrypted at 30 percent.
The table has been set up for "the beginning of the procedure for the substantial collective modification of working conditions", as well as for the Temporary Employment Regularization File (ERTE), and is made up of representatives of the Barcelona management and workers.
