Pérez opened his offensive against Atletico Madrid by framing their media critics as connected to the rival club.
"If they want me to go, I'll go when someone comes and beats me in an election. If someone beats me in elections, God bless them. The club belongs to the members, not to a few concentrated journalists who I suppose are Atlético fans."
He then turned to the question of club ownership, drawing a pointed contrast between Real Madrid's member-owned model and Atlético's recent American acquisition.
"I want to hand the club's assets over to the members, as I said I would. It belongs to them. I'm not like other clubs that were taken over and have now been sold and made people rich. I'm voted for by the members, not by ultras."
The reference was unmistakable. The Apollo Global Management fund has acquired 57 per cent of Atlético Madrid at a valuation placing the full club at around €2.5billion. Pérez used it as evidence of the contrast in governance models between the two clubs.
His final barb came late in the proceedings.
"What will the other clubs say? What is happening at Atlético de Madrid? Why don't they go after Atlético? There has never been a club like Madrid in history. Do they want us to win 10-0 every day? We will get there, don't worry."
Pérez also attacked La Liga directly, describing what he called "systematic corruption" in the competition's governance — a line that prompted Barcelona's legal department to issue a statement saying they were studying his comments carefully. He reaffirmed his intention to stand for election and challenged anonymous critics within the boardroom to identify themselves.
Barcelona clinched La Liga at the Bernabéu on Sunday. It is the second consecutive trophyless season for Real Madrid. Pérez is not going anywhere.
