Barcelona Benedito announces the active process

On Tuesday, former Barcelona presidential hopeful, Agusti Benedito, announced that he will soon activate the process of the motion of censure against Josep Maria Bartomeu and his board of directors.

He noted that he currently has 9,817 signatures but expects more over the coming days.

"We have overcome the bearings that were considered necessary and we are now going to formally present it," said Benedito at a press conference.

The information from TV3 about the alleged fraud by the board regarding the earnings from the Seient Lluire (Free Seat) issue, has helped to increase the number of supporters.

If Benedito is to now start the process, he will only have 14 days to gain the 16,000 signatures required to vote on the motion of censure.
