Oriol Giralt and Christian Castellví have a issued a vote of no confidence against the FC Barcelona board of directors and delivered 9,473 members' signatures to the club that will now be examined by the Mesa del Voto de Censura.


On Thursday afternoon, the two members personally handed over the papers to register the vote of no confidence against all the current Blaugrana directors at the club's administration offices at Camp Nou. The signatures will now be examined by a five man committee set up for such special circumstances.

The signatures were counted by a notary and all 9,473 are now in the hands of the club after Giralt and Castellví left them.

The Mesa will be able to nullify the signatures that are not deemed to be reputable and will be able to carry out any investigations into the authenticity of any signatures.

Valid or not valid
