Secretary of State for Tourism
Secretary of State for Tourism, Joan Mesquite, said yesterday in an interview with El Periodic de Cataluña that the club is the “perfect candidate” to promote Barcelona, Catalonia and Spain. Ferrusola, speaking at a gathering of Cataluña Radio, has acknowledged that it would like “nothing” to serve as the Catalan club to promote the brand hook Spain.
“If you give money, catch it,” said Ferrusola to justify that the club has closed a deal with Qatar. An agreement with Spain, in his opinion, “would not be the same” because “they want to impose the signal of Spain” and because the club “is to Catalonia.”
“There is money that is helpful and not another. Give us what we have to, “he concluded Ferrusola to argue that his refusal to accept a deal the club with the Spanish government has resolved without Catalonia’s fiscal deficit with the rest of Spain.
