Pérez rules out debate with rival Riquelme

Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez ruled out debating businessman Enrique Riquelme after unveiling his re-election campaign. Pérez presented his extended project during a press conference in Madrid.

Pérez reiterated his vision for the club’s future, emphasizing continuity in leadership. He framed Riquelme’s candidacy as a threat to Real Madrid’s stability.

The re-election campaign launch follows Pérez’s announcement of his bid for another term. His platform focuses on club growth and sporting success.

Enrique Riquelme announced his candidacy last month, positioning himself as an alternative to Pérez’s leadership. Riquelme’s campaign centers on club transparency and member participation.

Pérez’s refusal to engage in a debate signals confidence in his mandate. Real Madrid’s board elections are scheduled for the coming weeks.

Riquelme’s supporters have criticized Pérez’s refusal to address key governance issues directly.
