Mess in the Barcelona: from directive to adviser in less than 24 hours






Where I said, I say Diego. Barça has been forced to rectify the appointment of one of the new members of its board. And in less than 24 hours. In the end, the incorporation of Teresa Basilio to the board presided over by Josep Maria Bartomeu will have to wait. The reason: does not meet all the requirements that are required by the statutes of the Barcelona entity itself. The club made official the appointment of Teresa Basilio as new member of the Barça Culture area on Wednesday afternoon. However, its membership number, 138,267, already raised some suspicions about whether it really met one of the requirements introduced in the latest reform of the Barcelonist statutes: the minimum age. Since 2013, a minimum period of five years is required before being able to join the board of directors. The entity chaired by Josep Maria Bartomeu hastened to correct this gaffe on Thursday morning, detailing that, until Teresa Basilio reach that minimum age, will be adviser to the Barca board, although it will be attached to it. His, in addition, was not the only appointment that brought tail. The one of Marta Plana also saw itself very soon splashed by the controversy. In his case, because it weighs on it the disqualification to exercise public office. The Third Section of the Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the Supreme Court ruled in November last year that Marta Plana continued to pay while receiving a compensatory pension of 96,000 euros per year for two years after being a counselor of the Telecommunications Market Commission. And, for this reason, he disqualified her from exercising any type of public office for a period of five years. From the Barcelona club, a private entity, it is nevertheless understood, as Cadena Ser assured, that this fact does not imply any type of incompatibility with its role at the head of the Barça Innovation Hub and its professional merits are reiterated to promote this body .
