"We are sad. We had hoped to transform the club and bring it closer to its people. It's a shame, but we accept the result as we must. We congratulate the president-elect, Joan Laporta, and his entire board of directors. We have championed a different Barcelona. And we will continue to champion this cause because it is a noble cause for the country."
"The fact that there are people fighting for a different Barcelona makes us a unique club. It will be important for members to offer a constructive counterpoint to the official narrative without causing instability, but the president who has emerged victorious must have our support. We are making everything we have worked on in recent years available to the club."
Victor Font, the unsuccessful presidential candidate for Barcelona, has formally accepted defeat following Joan Laporta's decisive victory in the club's presidential election. Font acknowledged disappointment with the outcome but emphasized full acceptance of the members' decision. He congratulated Laporta and his board while reaffirming his commitment to championing his vision for Barcelona's future. Font indicated he would not lead a traditional opposition movement against Laporta's administration over the next five years. Instead, he stressed the importance of members providing constructive counterpoints to official narratives without destabilizing the club, while offering the resources and work developed by his campaign to Barcelona.
