He published a letter on Friday in which he accuses the refereeing decisions taken during the Madrid derby last Thursday against Real Madrid. Statements that the Technical Committee of Referees will not denounce, but that the Integrity service of the Federation could. If this measure is exceeded, as has already happened with other presidents, the Committee will have to decide on the size of the fine.
