Font's Campaign: Barça Faces a Challenge to the 'Infallible' Leader

Campaign rhetoric and leadership style

Victor Font has sharpened his critique of Barcelona's management as the club enters its presidential race, with the election scheduled for March 15. In a promotional video, Font targets the current president, Joan Laporta, accusing him of governing with a single voice and presenting himself as an "infallible" leader around whom every justification is built.

The clip criticizes the club's direction under the present regime, arguing that Barcelona is moving toward autocracy where internal opinion is treated as treason and criticism is framed as hostility.

Transparency concerns and election timing

The campaign video also argues that Laporta does not run the Catalan club with transparency, while allegedly continuing with "oversteps." The board of Barcelona announced on Thursday that the presidential election will take place on March 15, dispelling rumors of a possible delay.

The piece notes that Font's push comes as the club navigates a turbulent period and calls for greater openness in decision-making.
