Joan Laporta has accused Barcelona of being responsible for the postponement of El Clasico.
The match between Barcelona and Real Madrid, which was supposed to be held on October 26, was postponed due to the Catalan political crisis.
"I think this match had to be played, they didn't give exceptional circumstances to change the date," Laporta said.
"These matches require security devices because it's a match with a lot of rivalry that everyone watches and always has been, therefore I don't think there were circumstances to postpone it. I would've played it.
"Yes, [I would've played] the game on Saturday because if Real Madrid wanted to play then I don't see the problem. The sectors wanted to magnify what was happening, for political reasons.
"[Barcelona] were mistaken because they criminalised a movement and put politics ahead of a football match that always has political connotations. It's always been like this.
"They've played a game with the sectors that rule football to make people from Barcelona and everyone look bad. LaLiga made a strong move for it not to be played. They got it from their mother, they magnified it.
"There was no spark that weekend. Even at a footballing level, because Barcelona were interested in playing. This criminalises Catalans and people from Barcelona.
"Barcelona-Real Madrid always goes further, Real Madrid didn't object to playing. It's a huge error that heats up the atmosphere and magnifies the problem more.
"Barcelona had to have planned for October 26 because if not, you're going to help magnify this. The majority of people in Catalonia are peaceful.
"Safety has always been guaranteed in these matches. Barcelona were in a position to plan, and even more so when Real Madrid didn't object to it.
"LaLiga had political interests to magnify a certain situation and exaggerate what happened. It's the worst way of get past what is happening.
"Barcelona are guilty in this situation. People are being criminalised and this is an error."

Barca used to be like my 3rd favorite but their fans are just fucked up and rude...when Messi scored the final minute goal against Madrid...the madrid fans applauded for him but when Ronaldo scores that goal in camp nou...the Barca fans starry booing and throwing the middle finger at him! Some Barca fans have no respect...no offense to the loyal Barca fans

so he wants to have a game while the city is burning right or wrong its not respectful to the people who are protesting on roads for their rights
I agree with what you said but what did the protesters say after the el clasico was postponed. that they will protest in the day of the new el clasico date to boycott it again. so el clasico postponement is caused by the Catalans

it's not Barca's fault but the love Barcelona has for the fans, la liga and the reputation of the club.... people were going to use the rivalry between them as a tool to offload their political angers
