Freixa: “People voted for Bartomeu to keep Laporta out”

“I think this result shows how bipolarised the campaign was,” said the presidential candidate having finished fourth.

“I think this result shows how bipolarised the campaign was,” said the presidential candidate having finished fourth.

Toni Freixa, the candidate who looks to have finished last in today’s elections, discussed the results with Barca TV this evening. For Freixa, who was for a while part of the club board, the politics of fear and the media attention on the Bartomeu-Laporta rivalry played a big role in the ultimate result.

“We ran a good campaign,” he said. “But people voted for Bartomeu to keep Laporta out and for Laporta to keep Bartomeu out.”

In spite of the poor outcome, Freixa accepted defeat: “The polls are ruthless and the results have to be respected. It’s a privilege to be part of this club but I think that this result shows just how bipolarised the campaign was. Only those two candidates got media attention.”

He says he’s now looking to the future: “The warmth I’ve received from the members is important to me. Clearly my life doesn’t end here. I congratulate Mr. Bartomeu on his victory.”
