The main criticism from the right and the left regarding the appointment of José Luis Escriva as governor of the Bank of Spain is that it is not normal, it was not the norm until now that a minister with a portfolio and a hot portfolio accesses the position of governor of the Spanish central bank, which is part of the ESCB, European System of Central Banks.
There can be no other reason than that he is considered incompetent for the post; the President of the Government has appointed, as the law says, the governor, and the government would be wrong not to appoint, as the law also says, the deputy governor, on the proposal of the governor.
