For the first time in peacetime, a board of directors of FC Barcelona has decided to hold the general assembly of members with the members as far as possible, a measure adopted for the good of the members and their health, as some were emotional both when they left like a dirty rag the president of the shift that approached the crowd.
And they will still say that Joan Laporta is a populist who melts the heritage! Since when does a populist avoid a mass bath and prefer a telematic assembly?
The general assembly of members is an annual conclave in which it is staged that above levers, commissions, piloting, stabbing, friendly fire and nepotism, there is the club, FC Barcelona, ??founded in 1899. A kind of parliamentary session , with accounts and speakers, greatness and the complaint of why my seat is cracked and the neighbor’s – which was only paid for 23 years ago – is not. What we could well call “the Blaugrana party of democracy”.
We already know that all the directives conscientiously “prepared” the assembly meeting with the partners, who were given the ball with singular enthusiasm on such a designated date. “The partner cannot be deceived!”, and other gifts in the ears of this style.
So, to prevent partners from getting further away from the account, there were tricks, such as having a group of friendly partners in the event of an explosive atmosphere, asking for the intervention turn with the left hand (the way to identify -se as allies). At the end of the day, it was also not a question of what God wanted and they laughed at President Núñez in Madrid.
First, the popular discussions in Canaletes, where Barcelona’s passion was beating, all fights and demands for resignations disappeared, and now the members of the assembly, a caricature and endearing forum, are disappearing. Naturally, the board chaired by Joan Laporta keeps the members away to do them a favor and save them the trip they were so excited about. Farewell, minutes of glory; goodbye, applause or whistles, goodbye to member 122 who promised to be buried in a sweaty Meyba shirt by Paco Fortes…
The curious thing is that a president who cultivates sentimentality, hugs and the pot of essences is, precisely, the undertaker of one of the last rites of the old Barça. We already know that an online date can be as passionate as a face-to-face one and that making love with a condom can be just as exciting as without…
Yes, but no. The apostles of 2023 can already say mass on the telematic model, but President Laporta has further depersonalized the club of his loves, an increasingly bland, impersonal and controllable club.
