Sánchez is finalizing the appointment of a woman as deputy governor of Escrivá in the Bank of Spain

With the position of Governor of the Bank of Spain given to José Luis Escrivá, former Minister of Digital Transformation and Public Action, the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, completes his landing at the Bank of Spain to take over the rest of the government. waiting positions under his control to cover. This same week it is known that he introduced the demands of his partners in the independence of Catalonia again and that he has paid the “Catalan quota” by sending Jordi Pons, one of the economists denounced the alleged fiscal plunder in Catalonia by Catalonia. , as an adviser to the institution as part of the State, replacing Nuria Mas, who left her position vacant a few months ago after completing her mandate as one of the last advisers of the Rajoy Government .

But the most important post awaiting the renewal of the post of deputy governor, which Margarita Delgado will hold until next Wednesday, is the date on which her relationship will end. Moncloa has imposed secrecy to avoid leaks, but according to government sources contacted by LA RAZÓN Sánchez has decided that Delgado’s successor will be another woman, to show the equality and feminism of his government to maintain Among the preferred candidates are the current vice president of the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV), Montserrat Martínez Parera, and the secretary general of the Department of Finance and International Financing.

It seems that the rest of the candidates who were in the pool lost all ability. Fernando Restoy, president of the Financial Stability Institute; Óscar Arce, director general of Economics at the ECB in Frankfurt; or David Vegara, a member of the board of directors of Banco Sabadell, who had also considered options that Sánchez was considering, they almost have no counter. The only one with an option for the Government to pass the “equality law” is the supervisor Ángel Uribe, who was Sánchez’s economic advisor and a personal friend of the president – although he is a little on leave now -, who is currently in charge of the economic analysis department. at the Citadel hedge fund in New York.

In theory, the decision on who should be the deputy governor of the Bank of Spain would not correspond to the Government, but to the first opposition party, as has been done since the Transition. But after installing Escrivá as governor, the PP has distanced itself from any compromise and has confirmed that it will not propose any name for the supervisor’s number two because the rules have not been complied with or -written to appoint the two positions, which establishes. that the Government appoints the governor and the opposition party nominates the deputy governor.

The Minister of the Economy, Carlos Body, recalled this week after telling Escrivá that the Law on the Independence of the Bank of Spain establishes that positions in the institution correspond to the Government among those “a is Spanish and has a recognized competence in monetary or banking matters. .” But with the PP plan and with this law in hand, the appointment of a deputy governor will answer directly to the governor, that is, to José Luis Escrivá, although no one knows that it will be Moncloa In any case, the Corps reiterated that the Government would continue with “the extended hand” until the renewal of all agencies is still, “to the extent possible,” consensual and on approved by the PP.

Yesterday, before King Felipe VI, Escrivá pledged his position as governor and later transferred the ministerial portfolio to Óscar López, the new head of Digital Transformation and Public Action. Everything has accelerated because the new governor must attend the next meeting of the European Central Bank (ECB) which will be held on September 12 to decide on the future of monetary policy European.
