Carles Balagué i Mazón, born in Barcelona in 1949, played all the roles of the auca: he directed films, was a film critic and made his love for the seventh art clear with the creation of the Méliès theaters in Barcelona in 1996. Balagué, who died this Wednesday at the age of 76 in the Hospital de Sant Pau in Barcelona, not only left his mark in cinema. He had another passion: the Club Deportivo Europa. Member number 3 of the entity, he also worked to ensure its history was preserved. In the case of Europa, it was an inherited passion; his father was Bernardí Balagué, who was president between 1975 and 1980.
