Big support for Joan Laporta in the signatures for candidacy in Barcelona’s presidential elections 😳

Candidates needed 2,257. At least 5 of the original 9 men stepping forward couldn’t reach that number.

Laporta’s smashed it by 8,000!

😳Victor Font on the other hand looks like he has work to do - he smashed the necessary amount of signatures required to confirm his candidacy, but has under half the number Laporta collected

🤝Jordi Farré will NOT be a candidate in the elections. The man who brought the motion of no confidence against Bartomeu falls at the first hurdle

🤏He ended with 2,082 signatures, under 200 short. He gave his support to Laporta afterwards

🐬Emili Rousaud has passed the mark, presenting 2,501 signatures. Supposedly Bartomeu's chosen successor until the Barçagate scandal and his subsequent resignation

👁️Josep María Minguella, the man who brought Messi to Barça, would be his VP

👓Toni Freixa is the fourth candidate to have made it through (before the validation of signatures). He collected 2,821 signatures

🔄Freixa was a board member at various points with all three presidents of the last 18 years; Laporta, Rosell and Bartomeu
