FC Barcelona communiqué

FC Barcelona is dismayed by the prison sentences issued today by the National Court and declares its solidarity with those affected and their families.

FC Barcelona does not consider actions like these to contribute to the building of paths towards dialogue and respect that we as a club have always defended.

Given the exceptional nature of the current situation, FC Barcelona is making a call for calm and once again reiterates its commitment to liberty and democratic principles in order to build bridges to help to resolve this conflict in an agreed, peaceful and political matter.
