It went on in earnest.

Laporta thinks Perez betrayed him

It’s funny that an experienced politician Joan believed Florentino and became friends with him. Romance for profit? They want to create a Superleague, where all the giants of Europe will earn money, and two old Spaniards have come together to share. But since Perez has taken an accusatory stance in the Negreira case, Laporta took offense. Joan went on the attack. At a press conference where justified huge payments to the vice-president of the refereeing committee, Laporta insulted Real Madrid:

The club, which used to be considered the team of the regime, is now being offended by others. But after 70 years, most of the directors of the refereeing committee have a connection to Real Madrid.

Franco was not convicted in his lifetime of creating a dictatorship, but in the 21st century it’s strange to be a fan of him. Many people and the whole country have suffered because of the regime. Elections banned, all but one party closed, all powers crushed. He found fault with words, letters, forbidden and forbidden. He was a friend of Nazis and fascists. He accepted the salute with his right hand raised. Franco was a fascist, no matter how he called himself and how well he pretended not to be friends with Mussolini.

The claim that Real Madrid is a “regime club” offended Pérez. He was 28 when Franco died. Florentino witnessed with his own eyes the decay of the dictatorship under an aging leader. After Laporta’s words, a video appeared on the Real Madrid club channel with a number of facts that outraged Barcelona.

Franco was afraid of Catalan separatists

Like any dictator, Francisco was concerned about turbulent regions. Madrid has come to terms with the Basques, because they have created a terrorist organization. The metropolitan dictator suffocated Catalan culture, but he was afraid of the boys of Barcelona. The Real Madrid video begs the question, who was the regime’s real club? Madrid recalled that one of Franco’s ministers, José Solis Ruiz, was at the inauguration of the Camp Nou.

Barcelona made the dictator an honorary sosos in 1965. They were not political opposition to the authorities. The Catalan club has rewarded the right-wing dictator three times. Franco changed the state of the ground and allowed it to be built, which increased the value of Barcelona’s assets and saved the club. While the dictator was in power, the Catalans won La Liga 8 times and won the Copa Generalissimo 9 times.

It took Real Madrid 15 years to win their first league title after the dictator came to power. During the Spanish Civil War, Real Madrid football players, managers and club members died, who fought for the republicans against royalists such as Franco. Perez also allowed the words of Santiago Bernabéu, the former president of the Madrid club, to be added to the video:

When I hear that Real Madrid was a team of the regime, then I want to make a pile on the fathers of those who grind like this.

The club Franco initially sympathized with was Atlético. The dictator rejoiced at Real Madrid’s success after their great successes in Europe, but he didn’t like football. The usurper always credits all the country’s successes to himself and aims the arrows at others after failures. Franco rooted in football for those who win. The reputation of the regime was important to him. The success of the national team and of Real Madrid was strictly due to this. And when Barcelona won, he congratulated her too.

The war of presidents distracts from the main one

At the press conference, Laporta was unable to explain why they paid his grandfather, who was more wrong in his reports than the pupils in his essays, a good 7.3 million euros. But Joan rushed to Tebas and Real Madrid. He spoke of slander and prejudices against Barcelona. But he didn’t say a word about a conflict of interest. He blows with populism and they fell for it. And now they have turned to political accusations in relation to the regime that died in 1975.

Spain is the country of Cervantes, Picasso, Raban, Dali, Almodovar and Bunuel, and not just Franco. There was a dictatorship there, “liberal”, so to speak. The civil war took casualties, but because Franco was smart enough not to massacre Jews or directly aid the Nazis, as others did, admiring the rabid Germans, Francisco stood his ground on the principle “the enemy of my enemy He is my friend.”

Detained the communists – organized the allies. The Spaniards are pretty naive guys. They can receive ideas from right and left. Both branches don’t work, but people who take siestas don’t really like plowing. But the Spanish are crazy about football. Franco didn’t touch Real Madrid, Barcelona or Atlético while they were champions. But the giants have always accused each other of working for the regime. Where is the truth? Both clubs tolerated Franco.

And at the same time they kept their distance. In the 21st century, the grandchildren of the regime’s victims will not be patted on the head for supporting a de facto fascist. Laporta’s attempt to distract Negreira from the case with a historical dispute is successful, but Pérez returned fire. Now Barcelona must react. Will they tell you how Di Stefano was taken away and forced to lose 1:11? And it would be better to explain the payments to Negreira’s son. I was smart enough to transfer millions from the treasury of the big club.

Why did you create a team? They didn’t answer. Difficult prove in courtthat Negreira had the power to order referees to assist the Catalans. It is also difficult to prove the popular theory in Barcelona that Perez influenced the referee. Florentino is not as naive as Bartomeu in buying the services of Negreira and his colleagues for millions of euros. And there are no saints in this pair, because Real Madrid and Barcelona are themselves sporting dictators.

For example, when it is profitable, Laporta scolds Tebas and spreads dirty rumors about him. And if you need to register Messi, then they go to the president of La Liga for help. Classics of political life. The main thing is not to get into a fan war. Stories of ultras injuries and rock-throwing team buses are best left in the past.
