Calendar of FC Barcelona

The elections of the FC Barcelona are fixed for 24 January, but the pandemia of coronavirus goes to put in risk the event. The numbers in Spain and in Catalonia are bad and the contagions are going up week by week. By this reason, several experts on the subject have left clear in statements to 'RAC1' that the ideal would be to delay this celebration some weeks until the situation improve.

It is necessary to remember also that on 14 February are programmed the elections to the Government of Catalonia, that also are in risk, as it ensures the doctor Magda Campins, expert in epidemiology and in prevention of illnesses infecciosas of the Hospital Vall d'Hebron. "On 14 February we will not be in a situation epidemiológica ideal to celebrate some elections. There will be an important number of people that will not be able to do the face-to-face vote, so it would be necessary to enable the vote by post until practically this day", aimed.

By his side, the doctor Bonaventura Clotet, boss of the Service of Illnesses Infecciosas of the Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol, indicated that the ideal for both comicios would be to delay them, although all will depend on the contagions of this next week. "The elections are necessary, so much the ones of the Barça as the ones of our country, but if they will be able to do or no, will determine it the data of this week. It will be wiser to value it at the end of the week, although it would be ideal to delay them some weeks", affirmed.

Also it has given his opinion Antoni Trilla, boss of the service of Preventive Medicine and Epidemiology of the Hospital Clínic of Barcelona. The doctor left clear that the celebration of the elections only will be able to give in case that the numbers are good. "Have to do , but it does difficult say that they will be able to do with guarantees, will depend on the situation epidemiológica. To be able to do them with one some security, it would be necessary to have a situation epidemiológica good and a good logistical organisation", declared.

It will be necessary to see what sucede at the end, but the reality epidemiológica that there is in these moments in Catalonia does not invite to be precisely optimistic. These last 24 hours have diagnosed 1.147 contagions and 70 dead persons, numbers tremendously worrisome that do to think that could go to more. This week will be key to see if the comicios of 24 January can celebrate, as they indicate the experts.

Without elections in January there will be signings

In case that the elections can not celebrate, Ronald Koeman would remain without the signings that so much ansía. The Dutch trainer has asked a central, Eric García, and a forward, Memphis Depay, for this market of winter. The problem is that only the new president can give the seen well to the arrivals and the market will close on 31 January, by what if no comocios, will be impossible that this suceda.
