Peres’ potential rival. The upcoming elections may be the last in the history of “Real”.

Enrique Riquelme announced today, Wednesday, that he “very much wants” to run for the position of president of Real Madrid, noting that the deadline for nominations is open until next Saturday.

“This could be Real Madrid’s last election as privatization approaches, or at least that’s what is being announced,” Riquelme said after speaking at the 7th International Forum of business magazine Expanción.

He continued. “Those who oppose this privatization have a moral and humanitarian obligation to ensure that Real Madrid remains the property of its members and that it holds a special place for those members.”

He continued. “I will not tell you today whether I will participate or not, because I don’t know, we are working on it. We have five days and will work between now and Saturday to make the best project possible. There are things we have been working on. If we participate, which I very much hope for, it will be an interesting decision from a sporting point of view.”

Furthermore, he spoke of the “moral and ethical obligation” that falls on White Club members who, he said, “are fortunate to be able to come forward and offer something meaningful and inspiring or a step forward in that democracy.”

However, he commented that if he runs and doesn’t win, he hopes that “some of those ideas can be used to improve the level. real madrid“.

“We’re not going to be part of a democratic structure that doesn’t satisfy some members, but if we can create something interesting that we’re approaching, I’ll be very happy. These are not the words of Enrique Cox, but the words of the masses and their enthusiasm. We’ll see in the coming days, we’re still working.”

Riquelme has admitted that he has a “2028 strategy” and that, despite current president Florentino Perez’s proposed snap election, he has “worked on it for some time”.

“They have brought forward the election date by three years and we know the rules and that they are looking for other opinions and it is good to respectfully discuss our vision for Real Madrid so members can have their say.”

“We can be rational on the professional side, but the emotional side is not rational. I respect Real Madrid, the institution and Mr. Florentino Perez as a businessman and president. We all enjoyed the titles.

Last week, current Real Madrid president Florentino Perez called for a presidential election for the club and implicitly referred to him as “that guy with the Mexican accent”. The elections were officially registered on May 14.

Since the elections have been announced and according to the club charter, any candidate has 10 days, in this case until May 23, to present his candidacy.
