The Barcelona elections have been set for March 15th, by a decision of the current president Joan Laporta. The decision has provoked reactions from his opponents, such as Marc Ciria, who accused Laporta of not keeping his promises and of trying to surprise them. In addition to Laporta, Victor Font, Javier Vilajoana, and Joan Camproubi will also compete for the presidency. Laporta chose to hold the elections earlier than provided for in the club's statutes, betting on the positive climate that prevails.
