  "account": "Real Madrid has formally demanded that Javier Tebas resign as president of La Liga and vice-president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation after Tebas compared the club's communication methods to Nazi-era propaganda. In an official statement, Real Madrid deemed Tebas's remarks \"absolutely intolerable and extraordinarily serious,\" and criticized his comparison as \"deeply offensive, morally repugnant, and institutionally unworthy.\" The club noted that Tebas's comparison only referred to communication techniques and not ideology or supporters, but still rejected the distinction. Real Madrid also linked the dispute to the ongoing Negreira case, accusing Tebas of questioning the club's legitimate actions in relation to it. The statement concluded that Tebas's conduct demonstrated a lack of neutrality, respect, and impartiality, disqualifying him from holding his positions.",
