Green light for Florentino: his candidacy passes the electoral filter

Published on May 25, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The Real Madrid Electoral Committee has unanimously validated Florentino Pérez's candidacy for the presidency, after he met all statutory requirements. The proposal, presented by Eduardo Fernández de Blas, did not require a bank guarantee, in accordance with the club's internal regulations. This administrative step clears the way for the current leader to stand for re-election in the upcoming elections.

Real Madrid electoral committee room, board members in suits raising hands in unanimous approval, a ballot box with a single white envelope being inserted, holographic club crest glowing above the table, legal documents with official stamps spread across mahogany surface, cinematic photorealistic render, warm dramatic lighting from overhead chandeliers, deep shadows emphasizing the decisive moment, polished silver voting urns in foreground, technical illustration style with crisp architectural lines, ceremonial atmosphere, ultra-detailed wood grain and fabric textures

The validation system: no guarantee, but with digital filters 🖥️

The absence of a prior bank guarantee is explained by a statutory clause that allows candidates with member endorsements to demonstrate solvency through other mechanisms. In practice, the Electoral Committee cross-references data with the club's digital census to verify signatures and ensure the transparency of the process. The system, similar to an authentication algorithm, eliminates duplicates and validates the support of member representatives in real time, reducing the margin of error to zero.

Florentino, the candidate who doesn't even need to go to the bank 😂

While mere mortals need a bank guarantee even to request a 50-euro loan, Florentino skips the line thanks to his member endorsements. The Electoral Committee has given him the green light without him having to show a single bank statement. Some fans are already joking that the next requirement will be to submit a selfie with the Champions League. Real Madrid's democracy works, but with its own rules.
