According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona members' organization "Som un Clam" issued a statement on Friday presenting six demands to the club's board of directors, calling for greater member voting rights in club affairs. The club's financial report was previously approved at the annual general meeting of members held on September 19.

Regarding the general meeting and financial position, the organization stated: "The fact that the general meeting was held online for the fourth consecutive year and a financial report showing an 18 million euro loss was approved deeply concerns us. The club's net assets stand at negative 168 million euros, which reflects a serious problem with the club's equity position."

The organization demanded the reinstatement of Article 67 of the club's bylaws, stating: "Approving financial reports with accumulated losses contradicts the club's goal of maintaining a balanced equity position."

The second demand called for holding those responsible accountable for doubling the cost of Spotify Camp Nou. The organization stated: "The responsibility of managers, suppliers, and construction companies must be reviewed, as the board of directors promised to charge 1 million euros in compensation for each day of delay and claimed the project would be completed quickly and at minimal cost. However, the current cost has increased from the budgeted 900 million euros to 1.8 billion euros, and construction timelines have been delayed by more than eighteen months."

Regarding seat allocation, the organization stated: "All members must be informed of their seating assignments and season ticket prices for the new Spotify Camp Nou by year's end, just as information about VIP zones has already been announced."

The organization also demanded the immediate restoration of children's attendance passes allowing at least 3,000 children under 14 to attend matches; the restoration of the club's travel agency and acquisition of more away match tickets; and the immediate publication of plans and timelines for the new Palau Blaugrana.

Full Statement from "Som un Clam"

The organization stated: "The start of the new season has been exciting: the team continues to score consistently, and the partial opening of Spotify Camp Nou is also full of promise. But as Barcelona supporters and Catalans, our critical and constructive spirit compels us to focus on the club's long-term development. We at "Som un Clam" always actively listen to the voices of all FC Barcelona members and continue to strive for creating the best club in the world. We want to emphasize that enjoying the current excellent performances of our football team and maintaining a critical and constructive stance toward the current board's management can absolutely go hand in hand. In fact, this is one of the fundamental principles of the democratic spirit of our club.

The fact that the general meeting was held online for the fourth consecutive year and a financial report showing an 18 million euro loss was approved deeply concerns us. This means the club has posted losses for the third consecutive year, with net assets falling to negative 168 million euros, reflecting a serious problem with the club's equity position. Members are the true owners of the club. For members to once again be at the heart of club decisions, to enjoy watching matches from various club teams, and to oversee financial performance, ensuring Barcelona remains strong both on and off the pitch, we demand that the board of directors immediately implement the following six key measures."

1. Reinstate Article 67 of the Club's Bylaws

"We demand the reinstatement of this article, which was suspended by the current board of directors, along with a clear implementation date and applicable threshold, because approving financial reports with accumulated losses contradicts the club's goal of maintaining a balanced equity position. If the club is truly on a path to recovery, independent financial oversight is the best guarantee and will also increase member confidence. This is all the more necessary given that Barcelona currently has no general manager."

2. Hold Those Responsible Accountable for Doubling the Cost of Spotify Camp Nou

"The responsibility of managers, suppliers, and construction companies must be reviewed, as the board of directors promised to charge 1 million euros in compensation for each day of delay and claimed the project would be completed quickly and at minimal cost. However, the current cost has increased from the budgeted 900 million euros to 1.8 billion euros, and construction timelines have been delayed by more than eighteen months."

3. Allocate Seats for Season Ticket Holders

"All members must be informed of their seating assignments and season ticket prices for the new Spotify Camp Nou by year's end, just as information about VIP zones has already been announced. This information can no longer be delayed, as future revenue planning already accounts for it. This information should be published as soon as possible, especially since the board of directors recently failed to deliver on its promise of discounts for the match against Real Madrid."

4. Restore Children's Attendance Passes

"We demand the immediate restoration of children's attendance passes allowing at least 3,000 children under 14 to experience the joy of watching live matches. This should be prioritized over the promotion of the theme park project."

5. Restore the Travel Agency

"The club's travel agency must be restored, and efforts must be made to secure more away match tickets. This way, members and fan clubs can travel with the team and support it as it has started the new season so successfully."

6. New Palau Blaugrana

"The club membership referendum in 2021 included Palau Blaugrana in the 'Espai Barça' budget. The board of directors previously denied this, but now tell us that this arena is not included in the budget. Plans and timelines must be announced immediately to fulfill the promises made to members, especially to season ticket holders of the arena."

"We at 'Som un Clam' have presented these measures to President Joan Laporta, demanding that he implement them as soon as possible and take responsibility for protecting the club's assets and upholding the rights of its members."
