Real Madrid demands La Liga president resign over Nazi comparison
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 16 Oct, 16:32 · Archive
Real Madrid demanded the resignation of La Liga president Javier Tebas after he compared the club's referee criticism tactics with Nazi propaganda techniques.
La Liga president Javier Tebas launched a social media criticism of Real Madrid on Friday, attacking how the club's television channel regularly runs reels of what it considers gross errors by match officials set to work upcoming games. Tebas compared this tactic with the propaganda techniques of Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Germany's minister of propaganda in World War II.
In his post, Tebas wrote that Real Madrid's 'script is always the same: select plays that favor it, repeat the alleged affront, increase suspicion and name enemies. It reminds one of the propaganda techniques that Goebbels used.' He added that the comparison concerned techniques rather than ideology or Madrid fans.
Real Madrid responded with a statement demanding Tebas's 'immediate resignation', saying his conduct 'demonstrates a lack of neutrality, respect, and impartiality incompatible with his institutional responsibilities'. The club noted that Tebas, who has clashed with Madrid president Florentino Pérez on several occasions, was unfit to represent Spain's top clubs.
