Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu is at risk of losing his post after the club confirmed the success of a motion of no confidence launched by several club members.
The club approved more than 18,000 signatures, crushing the 16,521 needed to declare the motion successful. There are still some outstanding signatures that have yet to be processed, which could bring the final count to close to 20,000.
According to the club’s rules, a referendum will be held on Bartomeu. If two-thirds of voters agree, Bartomeu could be expelled.
Jordi Farré, one of the prominent members who promoted the motion, celebrated by saying “mission accomplished!”
He also told the Catalan media that he thought Bartomeu would not face the referendum.
“I think there will be no referendum and that Bartomeu and his board are going to resign,” he said.
“I ask you to save yourself from having to face this indignity, to leave as soon as possible and to hold elections as soon as possible.”
