FC Barcelona statement

FC Barcelona would like to show its support for the Right Honourable President of the Generalitat of Catalonia, Joaquim Torra Pla, who today has been barred from office by the Supreme Court.

FC Barcelona considers the barring from office of the President of the Generalitat of Catalonia is uncalled for and seriously violates the democratic will of the people expressed freely at the polls. 

The defence of the right to freedom of expression and the right to decide form part of the principles and civic commitment of our club. FC Barcelona has always maintained that the long-standing political conflict in Catalonia must be resolved through political dialogue and never through the courts.
