99% of FC Barcelona club members voted overwhelmingly to back the initiative at the annual meeting for members of the Catalan club.
Sunday's FC Barcelona club members meeting voted en mass (671 in favour, two against and seven abstentions) to withdraw a series of distinctions which were awarded to former Spanish dictator Francisco Franco during his regime.
In 1954 the Catalan club awarded Franco with a golden club insignia, in 1971 the dictator was awarded a commemorative medal to coincide with the inauguration of the Palau Blaugrana and in 1974 the club were forced to award Franco with a special medallion which celebrated the club's 75th anniversary.
During the 'socios' meeting, club president Bartomeu acknowledged that this measure came late with the relevant paperwork not found when the idea was mooted during the Joan Laporta era in 2003 and claimed that this move was a tribute to the Barcelona club members who had to live during this period of history".

Franco gave you Di Stefano. even after he has already signed with Barca. so you want to tell me you never had of that?
Real Madrid was up 8-0 at halftime lol get your facts straight. Your club and their fans hold onto bitterness from decades ago that was truly fabricated to make Catalans feel special and it’s no longer relevant. Move on and focus on not choking in another champions league knockout round.

Understandable. I think every club should do this. A man like that doesn’t deserve any type of award.

In a CDR game Barca won 3 - 1 the 1st leg. the second Leg at Half time Barca were 1- 0. in the second half Barca went to loose 11-1. geuss what the Barca players were threaten to killed by Franco's troops if they won the game. I know you will say its fake story. But for us Barca fans this is why we will always hate That Toilet paper Club and Franco!!!!

During Franco’s reign, Madrid only had 1 more title than Barca. Madrid won 0 league titles during Franco’s reign. Barca won the most CDRs under Franco’s reign. Of the 98 clasicos played during Franco’s reign, Real Madrid won 43 and Barca won 39. There were 16 draws. During Franco’s reign, Barca had the longest period of not conceding a penalty or getting a red card. 6 of the clasicos that Barca has won by 4+ goals happened during Franco’s reign. There are no links to Real Madrid’s early success and Franco’s reign. In fact, it was Real Madrid’s least successful period. Catalans just love making up nonsense to make people feel sorry for them.
