Was over.

The beaten president of FC Barcelona, ​​Josep Maria Bartomeu, will finally present his resignation from his position after the Generalitat de Catalunya confirmed the vote on the motion of censure against him for next weekend.

Earlier, the agency had stated that there were "no legal or health impediments" to hold the vote of no confidence.

In this way, the Generalitat maintained that the vote could be carried out as long as the requirements presented by the Civil Protection Plan of Catalonia were incorporated into the protocol, the authority that has the last word on what measures should be adopted to combat the coronavirus.

His position was to carry them out in a decentralized way with 13 locations in Catalonia: Tarragona, Girona, Lleida, Sabadell, Terrassa, Manresa, Mataró, Vic, Granollers, Vilafranca del Penedès, Tortosa and Vilanova del Camí, seven in Spain: Madrid, Valencia, Seville, Zaragoza, Bilbao, Santiago, Palma de Mallorca and one in Andorra.

The Barça leadership then had two options that went through calling the vote of no confidence in a decentralized way or presenting the resignation en bloc from the board.


 “If the vote of no-confidence has to be held this weekend, it is impossible to do it in a decentralized way and only one venue could be made, at the Camp Nou.

Decentralizing is the best sanitary way, but we need 15 days to do it correctly ”, Bartomeu had warned this Monday, after stating that his wish was that the partner could express himself at the polls, but with all the sanitary and security.


In the event that the resignation is confirmed, a management commission, chaired by Carles Tusquets, president of the statutory economic commission, would take over the entity and call elections within a maximum period of three months.
