The precautionary measure of the Superior Sports Council, an organization attached to the Spanish government but autonomous, allowing the registration of Dani Olmo at Barça would be the work of political manipulation, assures the spokesperson for the PP, a right-wing Spanish party, and supported by several pro-Real Madrid editorialists.
The Dani Olmo affair takes a surprising political turn. The registration of the attacking midfielder and the young Pau Victor generated a wave of criticism in the Madrid press, to which the PP, a conservative right-wing Spanish party, joined. All point to the fact that the Superior Council of Sport, which authorized its registration following a precautionary measure taken on Wednesday, depends on the Spanish government and therefore on Pedro Sanchez, Prime Minister of Spain and leftist. Even though this CSD operates autonomously and does not receive orders from the state executive.
Borja Sémper, spokesperson for the PP, spoke just a few minutes after the resolution taken by the CSD: “This decision of the government, contrary to the rule and criteria of the Federation and La Liga, constitutes preferential treatment for a club and distorts the competition. I very much doubt that this amnesty would have been granted to a smaller club. On social networks, Sémper also shared a message denouncing the fact that the CSD has exceeded the economic control of La Liga.
A conspiracy of the left against the right, from which the leaders of Spanish football come
An anger shared by the Madrid press, which is unleashed against the CSD. Journalist Alfredo Relaño speaks in AS of an alleged “compromise” of the Spanish government with Catalonia: “Whether we like it or not, this comes at a time when the complacency of the Sánchez government towards Catalonia is causing criticism. jealousy of a large part of the population.”
In Marca, publications director Juan Ignacio Gallardo writes that the CSD is “implementing a resolution so strongly tinged with ideology with the suspicious aim of attacking the presidents of the RFEF and LaLiga, Louzán and Tebas, because they are not supporters of the PSOE (left party currently in the majority in the Spanish parliament). Javier Tebas, former activist of Fuerza Nueva, a Francoist party, has always mentioned his proximity to the Spanish right, going to the point of claiming that he would vote for Vox in 2019.
Pedro Sanchez wrongly singled out
Rafael Louzan, recently elected head of the Spanish football federation, is also close to the right: a former politician and member of the PP, elected head of the provincial council of Pontevedra for thirteen years before being sentenced to two years in prison and eight years disqualified from all public office for fraud. Florentino Perez also has a past as a right-wing politician, working within public administration with the card of the Unión de Centro Democrático, a center-right party.
“The fact that the beneficiary club is (curiously) FC Barcelona only increases the conjectures of those who interpret it as servility towards the Catalan parties that are partners of the government,” adds Juan Ignacio Gallardo. Pedro Sanchez’s PSOE actually had to form a coalition with the pro-independence parties in order to obtain a majority in parliament. The national right allied to Real Madrid insists that this link between the separatists and the Spanish socialist government would have allowed Barça to put pressure on to obtain the registration of Dani Olmo. Even though the CSD, an organ of the Ministry of Sports, is completely independent and autonomous.
Puigdemont mentioned
A COPE journalist, Paco González, went even further. “Laporta called Puigdemont and Puigdemont called Sánchez”, he assures, implying that the former leader of the Catalan independence movement would have played a role. to the current Prime Minister, before emphasizing that this is an assumption and that he cannot guarantee that this happened. “What is clear to me is that this is a political decision and not a legal one,” he concludes despite everything.
