"Godall said that he wanted to include Soriano and the president reminded him that there had been agreed that the candidate had to come from within the current board.
Now all members of the board, with the exception of Godall and Sala i Martín, have decided to support Ferrer. We got what we wanted, to have a single board candidacy. We supported Alfons, but Jaume is a candidate who also deserves all our respect."
