Real Madrid demand resignation of LaLiga president

Real Madrid has demanded the resignation of LaLiga president Javier Tebas after the president made controversial remarks comparing the club's methods to those of Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels. Tebas made the remarks on social media, alleging that some journalists act as the "official mouthpiece" of the club to spread opinions and grievances. He described his approach as a "systematic repetition, construction of an enemy, and subordination of facts to the narrative," which he likened to Nazi propaganda methods.

In response to Tebas' comments, Real Madrid released an extensive statement, branding them as "deeply offensive" and "morally repugnant." The statement from the club stated that Tebas' persistent attacks on Real Madrid and those advocating for transparency and reform constitute a "real scourge for Spanish football." Consequently, Real Madrid has demanded that Tebas immediately resign from his positions as president of LaLiga and vice president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation.
