The deadline to reach that minimum number of signatures finished at midday. Before 6pm, all of the signatures must be presented to Barcelona. 

If they reach the required amount of signatures, the validation process will start. They have to be checked by a notary and then the vote of no confidence against Bartomeu would begin. 

For the vote of no confidence to be successful. at least 10% of the 'socios' must go and vote and there needs to be a more than two-thirds majority. More than 66.6% of the votes are needed. 

On the final day of collecting signatures, 'Mes que una Moció' have been out in force trying to get the numbers. They were 2,420 signatures away on Wednesday. 

Jordi Farre, one of those promoting the vote of no confidence, is convinced they will get Bartomeu out. "We'll get enough signatures and Bartomeu will be on his way home."
