And I presume, is it the dude I'm thinking of with the grabbly voice and the dramatic music?

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

The down the lens kind of soliloquies, that dude?

He's super popular, I saw he's got like 2 million Twitter followers for instance, he's a big voice in football.

So there was an acknowledgement in that softball La Sexta interview that the press conference yesterday had not gone well.

Okay, so maybe it calms the fires a touch.

As for the presidency, I think people are generally au fait with the criteria.

these days around being president around Madrid, for instance, you have to be Spanish, you have to be a member of the club for 20 plus years.

And I suppose the crucial point is, I think you have to have 15% of Madrid turnover, almost as a kind of a guarantee of sorts.

in your personal assets.

You can't go to a bank or get, you know, get back in from a group where you could say, listen, we want you to be our guy.

And so we're going to, you know, put that 15% forward.

It has to be in your personal assets.

So as of 2026, you need to have 190 odd million euro in the bank to just run as president.

I presume Perez, is this a recent thing, this 15%?

Yeah, exactly.

So naturally in 25, 21, 2017, 2013 and 09, he was the sole candidate.

And presumably, I mean, I saw Enrique Raquelme being mentioned and who Perez didn't refer to by name as another potential candidate, but said that man talking to the big electric companies with the South American accent.

I don't really understand what he's getting at there.
