A new opposition group led by Joan Camprubí Montal aims to “overthrow” Laporta.

A new and numerous group of members opposed to the management of the board of directors presided over by Joan Laporta will make themselves known publicly this summer with the aim of alerting Barcelonismo to what, in their opinion, is an "emergency" situation. According to La Vanguardia, the group, led by Joan Camprubí Montal, has been holding meetings for more than two years but has decided to act now to "save the club" as its members believe that "all the indicators show that Barça is in a critical state".

Along with Camprubí, grandson of Agustí Montal (president of Barcelona between 1969 and 1977), great-grandson of Agustí Montal i Galobart (president between 1946 and 1952) and Managing Director and partner of Boston Consulting, people who share the same purpose, mostly young or with the intention of breaking with the generation that has managed Barça since 2003, such as Joan Laporta, Sandro Rosell or Josep Maria Bartomeu, have joined the group. Among them are Joan Roca, president of RocaJunyent; Sam Judez, managing director of DDB Publicidad; Gerard Birbe, music promoter; Carlos Galofré, managing director of Sagax España; Albert Rosés, former auditor of KPMG; Georgina Sánchez, director of More Amor Brands; Miro Molins, partner of Collins Patrimonios, and Marta Pascual, director of Pasqual & Soler Advocats. Other Barcelonistas with a longer track record accompanying the group and providing advice and support include Jordi Roche, former president of the Catalan Football Federation and Girona CF, as well as Evarist Murtra, manager at various times, ideologist of the Unicef logo on the first team shirt and promoter of Pep Guardiola as Blaugrana coach, and former manager Ramon Térmens.

Although they consider that the context does not favor them, they do not rule out a motion of censure.

The decision to appear on the scene responds to the need to put pressure on the current board to prevent the, in their opinion, economic, sporting, social and institutional drift from endangering the current ownership model of the club, a red line in their view. Although Joan Laporta has repeatedly denied the possibility of converting the club into a public limited company, sources in this group recall that the president has had to back down on other issues despite proclaiming the opposite, for example the continuity of Leo Messi. Regarding the possibility of a motion of censure, this emerging opposition group considers that it is very complex to do so at this time due to the fact that they cannot count on the Camp Nou to mobilise the members and due to the economic risk involved in paralysing the management of the club, but they do not rule it out at all because it is a statutory mechanism at the service of the members and because they detect in the current board a sense of an end of cycle that could come before the summer of 2026, when Laporta's term of office comes to an end. In this sense, members of this group assure that they will be very attentive to the economic closure of the current season, the evolution of the transfer market and the next assembly of delegates. "The priority objective is to put an end to the current mandate as soon as possible and for that, it is necessary to activate, raise awareness, and bring together the maximum number of Barcelonistas and supervise the government's actions", a source from the group assures this newspaper.

Joan Roca (RocaJunyent) and Jordi Roche form part of the group, among others.

Over the last few months, Camprubí and company have had numerous meetings with different personalities linked in one way or another to the club, including all the ex-presidents, as well as ex-managers, sportsmen, businessmen, members and supporters.
As for Víctor Font, an opponent who manages his appearances in the media and who it is taken for granted will run in the next elections (he was the second most voted candidate behind Laporta in the last elections), there have also been contacts but there has not been a convergence of interests that cannot be ruled out in the future.

The group, promoted by Joan Camprubí, brings together professionals who want to break with the 2003 generation.

The date of the launch of this group, which wants to underline its collective nature by presenting itself with all its members, will serve, among other things, to announce the name under which they will act from now on. They also intend to unveil a plan of action to integrate more members into their proposal and "force" a change that they believe the club needs as soon as possible.
