Real Madrid is demanding the resignation of La Liga President Javier Tebas after he compared Real Madrid TV's rhetoric to the propaganda methods of Nazi Germany's Minister of Propaganda, Goebbels. Tebas made the comparison on social media, stating that Real Madrid's management directs an "orchestra of mouthpieces" and that their TV channel leads the singing, which he likened to propaganda techniques. This statement was in response to articles suggesting Tebas and La Liga were acting against Real Madrid's interests.
