🚨🚨 COMMUNIQUE FROM FC BARCELONA!!! THE BLAUGRANA CLUB DENIES ANY NEW UEFA PROCEDURE ENGAGED AGAINST BARÇA. ❌ “In response to reports published regarding the alleged reactivation of the UEFA procedure in the Negreira case, FC Barcelona wishes to clarify the following: UEFA HAS NOT OPENED ANY NEW PROCEDURE AGAINST FC BARCELONA. ❗️ The procedure was initiated in 2023, with the appointment of two investigators who have since taken the action they deemed appropriate. The Club has always responded to all their requests. These procedures have not been reopened because they have never been closed. The UEFA statement confirms the receipt of the documentation submitted by Real Madrid and indicates that the investigators will evaluate it as part of the ongoing investigation. The same text expressly refers, twice, to an investigation and review that are “ongoing.” It does not announce the opening, reopening, or reactivation of any procedure, nor any assessment of the substance or value of the documentation provided. It invites the investigators to determine what action, if any, they deem appropriate regarding this documentation. To date, they have not made new requests to FC Barcelona and have not forwarded Real Madrid's complaint to the club. Should they do so, the Club will respond accordingly, as it has done so far. In accordance with the applicable legislation governing this matter, these procedures are subject to the outcome of the criminal case currently being heard in Spain and will continue to be so. Since the beginning of the investigation, FC Barcelona has continued to obtain its UEFA license without objection and has participated in UEFA competitions. To facilitate the verification of information, we reproduce below the complete original text of the UEFA statement: “UEFA can confirm that it has received from Real Madrid CF a substantial amount of documents related to the ongoing investigation into FC Barcelona in the case involving José María Enríquez Negreira, the former vice-president of the Technical Committee of Referees of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (the so-called "Negreira" case). UEFA's ethical and disciplinary inspectors have also received these latest documents, which they will evaluate as part of their ongoing review. FC Barcelona reiterates its full cooperation with the competent authorities and calls for rigor and accuracy in reporting this procedure.” (translated)

🎀 PINK OCTOBER 2026 | "ACT FOR LIFE" On the occasion of Pink October, a month dedicated to raising awareness and fighting breast cancer, a special thought was expressed at the opening of our work for women affected by this disease, those who continue their fight, and the families who support them. The fight against breast cancer is a major public health issue. It requires collective and sustainable mobilization around prevention, awareness, and early detection. This year's campaign, themed "Act for Life," invites us to strengthen our commitment and support those who work daily in this struggle, particularly the Senegalese League Against Cancer. Our institution reaffirms its commitment to contribute to awareness-raising efforts, promote early detection, and support initiatives in favor of the fight against breast cancer. On this occasion, we pay tribute to all those who have passed away and express our solidarity to all the women fighting against the disease, as well as to their families. Act, raise awareness, detect: together for life. 🎀 (translated)
"Dozens of far-left deputies sit in the National Assembly thanks to the withdrawal of macronist candidates and the central bloc during the second round of the 2024 legislative elections. The French have not forgotten it. You will also have to account politically for having given a leg up to these militants of chaos and insurrection." And she is absolutely right. (translated)
🚨💣 BREAKING : ▪️#ManCity will attempt to demonstrate its innocence by asserting that certain sponsorship contracts were partly financed by the Abu Dhabi government, rather than by the Abu Dhabi United Group, the private company owned by Sheikh Mansour. According to this argument, these agreements would therefore not constitute a violation of the rules. ▪️ The "irrefutable evidence" put forth by #ManCity throughout the case with the Premier League consists of bank statements from the government and testimonies presented at the hearing. They show that money was transferred from government accounts to sponsors, who then used these funds to pay @ManCity. ▪️The independent commission determined that Sheikh Mansour was unaware of what it describes as a series of "fictitious" agreements. On appeal, #ManCity is expected to argue that it is implausible for Mansour to have been unaware that nearly £830 million of his own money was being used in this manner. The club is also likely to contest the use of the term "fictitious," arguing that it is not merely a word indicating something suspicious, but a legal term that has been improperly applied in this case. ▪️#ManCity's lawyers are also expected to challenge the time taken by the independent commission to render its verdict. They will argue that, in this type of case, decisions should normally be made within three months after the hearing ends, so that judges maintain an accurate memory of the examined elements. According to City, this delay would render the decision “legally unsafe.” The club will also emphasize that it presented 24 witnesses at the hearing, while the Premier League provided no witnesses confirming the existence of the alleged conspiracy.

The violence that is escalating today in front of many high schools in France is extremely worrying. It is unacceptable. Burning a high school, damaging a public establishment, attacking a teacher, a firefighter, or a police officer is not protesting. It is destroying and committing violence. Nothing can justify it. Nothing can excuse it. I understand the revolt of the French who work, who pay their taxes, and who see the public facilities they have financed and that their children need being degraded or going up in smoke. In a country that is already facing so many difficulties, destroying what belongs to everyone is truly outraging. Nothing can justify preventing those who want to study from accessing high schools either. The authors of violence and destruction must be identified and held accountable for their actions. There can be no complacency with those who break, burn, or attack. The cynical exploitation of high school students by LFI and the political forces that want to fuel conflict is scandalous. Everything can spiral out of control very quickly. And any tragedy would inevitably be exploited by those who have an interest in social confrontation. Total support for the civil servants who carry out their missions with awareness, calmness, and professionalism. Recognition to all those who work to restore calm: parents, responsible trade unions, and all others. What we are experiencing gives a pretty clear idea of what the networks of an extreme left are preparing, which despises democratic rules and betrays republican values. (translated)
