The political and business reaction occurred this Friday after the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC) was approved by the BBVA OPA in Sabella on Wednesday, an operation that will currently be approved by the Council of Ministers.
The Junts Secretary General, whose voices, the majority of the executive director, depends on the congress, assured that they were “opposed without nuances, in general” to OPA and demand that the Pedro Sanchez government should not allow surgery as soon as he reaches its hands.
Turull took advantage of this appearance in front of the press to protect the work done by Peresa, an adviser proposed by the southern, who voted for OPA in CNMC. The movement, which caused quite contradictory, given the opposition to their side of the operation. They believe that the movement should include a special handling of small and medium -sized companies in Catalonia and the Balearian Islands, since this is one of the business sources of Sabadella and that causes the greatest concern between business and the political class.
But, according to General Secretary of Junta, the role of Soler (who was the general director of the Mossos, when the referendum was held on October 1) in the CNMC corresponds to the position of the party. He assures that the consultant introduced modifications of the general text, which “made it clear to understand the specifics of Catalonia,” which gave the “legal basis” and “legal protection” to the Council of Ministers to oppose OPA.
Turula claimed that “Catalonia cannot lose another bank” and believes that now “this is the time of politics”, recalling Pedro Sanchez, that the law allows him not to allow the operation. For his part, this Friday the Minister of Science, Innovation and Universities, Diana Morant, insisted that the government “will always protect common interest” before OPA, although she noted that she wants to show “great caution” and could not promote measures in this regard.
On the other hand, President Calle d’acomia, Jaume Guardiola, confirmed that he sees the “high” predisposition of the government to refuse OPA. “I am one of those who believe that this operation would be very bad for Catalonia,” he settled in an interview with TV3.
From the CECOT employer, it was warned that OPA can weaken the ability of many companies to agree on conditions, diversify risks and maintain stable banking relations, while CCOO Catalonia warned this Friday that there is a high probability of new banking closures if the purchase is continued.
