According to Mundo Deportivo, with 5 days left in the Real Madrid presidential election, Florentino's camp tried to prevent Enrique Riquelme from appearing on a TV show.
There are only 5 days left until Real Madrid members decide who will be the club's president for the next four years. The candidates are the current president, Florentino, who was initially considered the favorite, and the challenger, Enrique Riquelme. This is a battle for the presidency of what is considered the best team in the world, and almost anything goes in the process.
A few days ago, we reported on an action by the current president's campaign team: they tried to prevent a well-known TV hostess from hosting Enrique Riquelme's appearance. Any means that could reduce an opponent's votes might be used before this Sunday's vote.
Another strategy involves postal voting, which must be completed in front of a notary. This issue is so important that Enrique Riquelme even called it the biggest threat in this election process. Both candidates have hired notaries at their respective headquarters to facilitate member voting, especially considering that traffic in Madrid will be very complicated due to Pope Leo XIV's visit, making the trip to Valdebebas this Sunday a real test.
This "trench warfare" has even escalated to attempting to prevent a rival from appearing on a national television prime-time program. Over the past 48 hours, those involved have witnessed relentless "trench warfare" aimed at stopping Enrique Riquelme from appearing on Antena 3's "El Hormiguero" tonight. The reason is that this appearance could have a huge impact on the campaign, especially since Riquelme has announced for several days that if he is elected Real Madrid president this Sunday, he will reveal his star signing on this show. However, despite various maneuvers, there is currently no indication that Riquelme will not be the special guest on Pablo Motos' show.
