By Simon Evans NASSAU, Bahamas (Reuters) - FIFA presidential hopeful Luis Figo has hit out at what he called a lack of democracy at CONCACAF's congress on Thursday after incumbent Sepp Blatter was the only candidate given a chance to speak. Before pro-Blatter speeches by 10 federations from the North and Central America and Caribbean body, the FIFA president spoke to the congress and said CONCACAF should have an extra place in the World Cup. I continue to believe that FIFA elections have to be transparent." The session was meant to discuss the minutes of the previous gathering but during it Blatter received pledges of support from 10 federations in a congress that quickly turned from a rally to back the incumbent. Figo, a former Barcelona and Real Madrid midfielder, said he was unhappy with how the congress approached the impending, May 29th election.
