The vote that will be required as a result of the censure motion will take place in Barcelona shortly after Jordi Farré, initiator of the action, confirmed this Wednesday that at least 16,521 signatures are valid (the minimum required). Thus, the club is one step closer to prematurely removing President Josep Maria Bartomeu and his teammates from office.

It had already been revealed that a sufficient amount of paper had been returned during signature collection, but it was not possible to be certain that there was a vote so far because it was necessary to check whether the documents were actually valid. However, on Wednesday, several local journalists confirmed that enough valid votes had been collected.

Then the club must register the vote, where they can really decide whether to leave Bartomeu, who has run the club since 2014, will resign definitively in 2021. According to Marca, the date of the vote can be announced within 10-20 days if in this two thirds of the votes advocates the departure of the president, the club is forced to remove Bartomeu from his position and call a new presidential election.
