Florentino Pérez Calls for Real Madrid Elections Amidst Controversy

Real Madrid president, Florentino Pérez, is pushing for new elections while announcing his candidacy for another term after alleging a campaign against him.

Pérez addressed these claims publicly after a club board meeting, directly countering allegations of his resignation or health issues. He accused opponents of spreading rumors.

This announcement follows Real Madrid's recent 2-0 loss to rival Barcelona, surrendering another league title, with the team finishing a second straight season without securing a major trophy.
