Partners of Real Madrid, gathered in a total of 1215 at the Ordinary General Assembly held in the Palace of Congresses of the Exhibition Center, passed Balance of the last fiscal year and Budget 2008-2009. The narrow margin with which the accounts were accepted, the enormous tension from the beginning of the Assembly and the apparent social divide does not dispel the doubts about the precarious state of institutional club.
The first item on the agenda put to the vote, corresponding to the report, the Liquidation of the Budget, the Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Accounts for the Financial Year 2007-2008, was approved with a vote in favor of 603 partners , 442 said 'no' and 52 abstained.
Many more were equal to capitalize on the 2008-2009 budget, since Ramon Calderon won its adoption by just 47 votes apart. 564 partners lifted the white paper (which symbolizes the 'yes'), for the 517 that showed the red. This time, there were 42 abstentions.
Appointment of the board of directors with partners was all that was expected tense. Before the Assembly began, was the first altercation between supporters and opponents of the president. The applause, mainly from the area not authorized to , were met by whistling and booing from the opposition.
Calderon and Del Rivero defended the club's numbers
Ramon Calderon opened the meeting by saying the president's usual annual report, which reviewed the year of sport and requested the approval of the accounts. The maximum white president proclaimed the "economic solvency" of Real Madrid and challenged critics to rebut the audit carried out by "international prestige as a signature is Ernst & Young." For Calderon, who said 'no' in the vote "or do not understand economics or bad faith."
Once finished his speech, Calderon gave way to Jose Ignacio del Rivero, vice president of Real Madrid, to proceed to submit the results to partners and the economic prospects of the club. Rivero defended the proposed budget fervently, downplayed the debt of 199 million euros for the "high financial soundness" of the institution and promised to resign if someone was able to show that the numbers presented were uncertain.
'Chairman, President! " vs. "Resignation, resignation!"
Tension in the Assembly. (C. BARAJAS)
Before the vote on the accounts, was allowed to requesting it to upload music. The secretary of the Board, Serrano Pool, choppy to the opposition of the House to cut off the microphone of who "went out of the agenda," that this case was the economic debate. Curiously, Serrano Pool did not withdraw the word to any amateur akin to the president who did not speak of numbers.
The levels of nervousness been fired when Ramon Calderon wanted to respond to Alberto Villaverde, a routine of the Assemblies of Compromisarios, skipping, although the secretary is not recrimination, the established order. Critics whistle preventing it from talking to the president, leading to the zone of 'guests', where about 80 members of the rock UltrasSur, came shouts of "president, president!". The opposition responded by asking, of course, also shouting, the resignation of Calderon.
Radicals raised the bad taste of the confrontation to as "Antimadridistas sons of bitches!" to which the most reprehensible president of the club.
The moment of truth came almost five hours after the start of the Assembly. The Board of Directors not responded to the request that the ballots be conducted in a secret and, again with the archaic method of cards, it was decided the economic future of Real Madrid. Between shouts of "Tongo, Tongo!" and the applause of his supporters, Ramon Calderon could finally breathe more or less quiet.
