Real Madrid has issued a forceful statement in response to the statements of LaLiga president, JavierTebas, who compared the club's communication policy with the propaganda of the Nazi regime. In the text, the white club firmly rejects the analogy, calling it “absolutely intolerable and of extraordinary gravity,” and demands the immediate resignation of Tebas from his positions as president of LaLiga and vice president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation.
The club contextualizes the provocation as part of a series of attacks that, according to its version, Tebas has directed against Real Madrid, its president and its media. It is highlighted that the comparison was made in relation to the alleged propaganda strategy of Real Madrid Television, and that the club considers that Tebas' statements "are morally repugnant and institutionally unworthy." Furthermore, Real Madrid points out that Tebas' criticism extends to the management of the Negreira case, accusing him of questioning the legitimate actions of the club and its television in that matter.
In its statement, Real Madrid not only calls for Tebas' resignation, but also requests a "comprehensive renewal of the arbitration system and the federative structures of government, management, supervision and discipline." The club argues that the lack of response from the institutions led by Tebas has led to it being turned to UEFA to demand a complete clarification of the payments made by FCBarcelona to the vice president of the Technical Committee of Referees.
Real Madrid concludes that Tebas' repeated conduct demonstrates a lack of neutrality, respect and impartiality that is incompatible with its institutional responsibilities. According to the club, these attacks “constitute a real scourge for Spanish football” and institutionally disqualify him from continuing to hold his positions. The club reiterates its commitment to defend its rights and institutional integrity, and to seek the regeneration of Spanish football.
With the demand for Tebas' resignation and the call for a profound reform of refereeing and governance, Real Madrid hopes that the situation will be resolved soon and that confidence in the management of Spanish football will be restored.
