A football club is well advised not to take sides. This does not prevent football from being inseparable from politics. Actually like everything. We parrots know what those who call themselves “apolitical” are and what they stand for. They are like the bloodthirsty dictator our parents suffered from: “Like me and stay out of politics.“. A character that, by the way, is more present than ever in these elections. Because never before in an election had their purest and most sincere heirs had the chance to become part of the government. For this reason today it seems reckless to waste this space of opinion-forming only about football. On Sunday there are many rights at stake, individual rights and collective rights. And gentlemen, who want to abolish all these rights in the name of the fatherland and natural law. We must avoid it.
I take this opportunity to ask Vox to remove his dirty staples from our club. A few weeks ago, they submitted a proposal to the Catalan Parliament to do something on the site of the old Sarrià stadium. Luckily they lost the vote. But the damage had already been done: they had associated the party with our association. We don’t want to know anything about her. Nothing. We are a Catalan football club that represents the common denominator of a democratic society. That’s why our stadium is colored purple or the colors of the rainbow when it comes to expressing its commitment to feminism or the rights of the LGBTI group.
And because of this democratic commitment, I am very sorry – even outraged – that no high-ranking political figure (with the honorable exception of Núria Marín) regretted the descent of Espanyol and stood by the white-blue supporters to accompany them in their trance. Neither the government of the Generalitat (the same one that did not have time to express ridiculous indignation at the video of Madrid through its spokeswoman), nor the mayors of the three Spanish cities at the time (Ada Colau, Lluís Mijoler and Antoni Balmón) nor – and this is even stranger and more significant – none of the three leaders of the Catalan parties who declare themselves parakeets (Salvador Illa, Gabriel Rufián and Jordi Turull). ). But now is not the time for blame. Now is the time of responsibility, the time to prevent those who do not believe in democracy from coming to power.
