Real Madrid are demanding the \u200c\u200cresignation of La Liga President Javier Tebas after he compared rhetoric from \u2060\u2060the club\u2019s management \u2060\u2060to the propaganda methods used by the Nazi Party in Germany.<\/p>\n

Tebas wrote earlier on Friday on social media that \u201cReal Madrid\u2019s management directs an orchestra of \u2060\u2060mouthpieces and Real Madrid TV leads the singing\u201d.<\/p>\n

The LaLiga president was responding to articles by two journalists saying he and LaLiga were acting against Real\u2019s interests.<\/p>\n

Tebas added that the authors \u2060\u2060in El Debate newspaper were amplifying a message on behalf of Real\u2019s management.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid\u2019s demand for Tebas to immediately resign deepens a feud between the club and La Liga\u2019s chief.<\/p>\n

Last month, Real called for a new LaLiga president in response \u200c\u200cto Tebas calling their complaints about refereeing decisions \u2018a smokescreen\u2019 for their shortcomings on the pitch.<\/p>\n

Tebas on Friday criticised Real Madrid TV\u2019s coverage of officiating at their matches.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir score is always the same: select the plays that suit them, repeat the grievance, feed the suspicion and point fingers at the enemies,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat method recalls propaganda mechanisms used by Goebbels, Nazi Germany\u2019s Minister of Propaganda.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe comparison is with those propaganda techniques, not with \u2060\u2060an ideology or, of course, with the Madridista fanbase,\u201d added \u2060\u2060LaLiga\u2019s president.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid demand Tebas\u2019s resignation as La Liga chief<\/h2>\n

Real Madrid released a statement later on Friday demanding that Tebas resign from his positions as LaLiga chief and vice-president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation.<\/p>\n

The statement called it \u201cintolerable and extraordinarily serious\u201d that \u2060\u2060Tebas used \u201ca comparison with the propaganda methods of the Nazi regime to discredit our club, its management and its television.<\/p>\n

\u201cTebas\u2019 repeated conduct \u2060\u2060demonstrates a lack of neutrality, respect and impartiality incompatible with \u2060\u2060his institutional responsibilities,\u201d said Real.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is unacceptable that he even takes advantage of questions, information or opinions from journalists unrelated to the club to direct his accusations at us, attributing to us actions of third parties for which \u200c\u200cwe bear no responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 64-year-old, who is elected by the 42 professional clubs in Spain\u2019s top two tiers, has been La Liga president since 2013. In 2023, he was \u200c\u200cre-elected \u200c\u200cunopposed until 2027.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid\u2019s statement came hours after La Liga confirmed that they are one of the six clubs that will sit on the league\u2019s Executive Committee this season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
