Petronor (from the Repsol group), Kutksabank, Iberdol and BBVA brought 600,000 euros together to strengthen the Eatlantic fund, European lobby ”created by the previous Lehendakari, Yingo Urkulu. According to the official documentation of the organization sent to the Basque parliament in response to the request of the representative of the PP Santiago López Céspedes, each of these large corporations put 7,500 euros as the initial contribution in a monetary manner – what was already known – and then 142,500 euros for additional expenses of the first year. The Eatlantic Foundation is completed from 2000 euros from Urkulu itself.
Urkul had to ask the government of Imanol Pradles to be the “executive” president of this new body, which gives the continuity of his political line of defense of the Atlantic axis in Europe. It is necessary that all releases collect a favorable opinion within two years after the termination, when they want to initiate private activity to study possible conflicts of interests. The report for Urkul was favorable. Also for Marian Elorza, his former foreign policy for twelve years of the mandate and who will now also become the general director of the new fund. They also accompany Lehendakari in this adventure of Juanjo Alvarez or Juan Marie Gastak.
The information sent to parliament is bulky. Yes, yes, the data related to the salary of Urkulu – the victims from herself – and Elorza were deleted. This only indicates that it will be updated in accordance with the “national” IPC, that is, in Spain. There is a “self -control memory” in which Urkulu states that his “consideration” as an executive president is a “market”. “Within the framework of the implementation of the“ market research ”fund, consideration received by other executive presidents of“ assimilated ”grounds (without prejudice to the features of each fund) that act in a close environment,” says.
And added: “The executive president has no personal interest (differs from personal belief in the general interest of the Euskadi and the EU Foundation and, in particular, its Atlantic Axis), which may encounter the interests of the foundation or its founders, and will also not receive any benefit (economic or assimilated) or from the founders, patrones or beneficiaries, and will also not receive any benefits (economic or economic or economic or economic or economic or economic or economic or economic or economic or economic or economic assimilated) or from the founders, patrons or beneficiaries. A salary that is not detailed does not put “vitality” on “risk” and, conversely, “personal characteristics (knowledge, relationships, etc.)” will allow Urculus ”to charge the fund’s activities in a much more important way than that of another person who does not have such knowledge, experience, relations, etc.” Could achieve.
The executive director always interprets that there is no reason to deny compatibility and that although the government formalized some agreements with these companies – the agreement with Iberdrola is directly gathering for electric lines in Urdaybe – there are no signs of a conflict of interest. The signing of this green light fell into the Minister of Administration, the digital administration and self -payment, Maria Ubarretksen, based on the previous, also a favorable sentence of a senior official.
In the text, one of the reports collected in the processing of this file, indicates that “it does not deserve confidence that the aforementioned commercial companies are devoted to its corporate benefit, subtracting them to the distribution as a dividend between shareholders in order to allocate them to the constitution based on their social facilities (…). Lehendakari Urkullu to the current political leaders of the Basque government. ” “It makes no sense to say that Lehendakari Urkullu, which in the past had no direct relationship with the above companies (…), can benefit them from his position as the president of his fund,” he adds.
Now it is admitted that “it is possible that the above -mentioned companies would not support the constitution of this basis for the promotion of any other person.” “In this regard, it is obliged to admit that the prestige and relevance of the public in the position of Lehendakari de Euskadi decisively contributed to the fact that these organizations were included in their fundamental project,” you can read in the report signed by Abel Lopez de Agilet, director of the legal regime of this president.
According to the document “Faculties of the Executive President” in Eatlatic, Urkulu will be a “legal representative” for all goals of the organization. He hires, dismisses, opens current accounts, signs checks and projects budgets. He will assume a “strategic and operational direction”, which includes the “dynamics of cooperation and dialogue between state and private subjects of the European Atlantic space” or “promotion of thoughts and the development of proposals for effective multi -level management within the EU, dear regional autonomy”. Urkulu controls the protection. In addition to the four great ones, there are other members, such as universities or even the former leader of the Basky PP Cristina Ruiz.
From Petronor, they indicate that their support to Urkul is associated with the fact that “the Atlantic arch is one of the priority academic and development axes” of the company. “This is something, what needs to be done,” they add from the Repsol Group object. “Kutxabank is involved in the Eatlatic Foundation in order to contribute and contribute to its sand to promote dynamics in the European Atlantic Axis, which contributes to competitiveness in the technological field and, above all, in industry, where the financial entity has a greater commitment. The project will increase the public collegium on social networks, in another area, according to the bank, according to the bank. Iberdola and BBVA, on their side, do not comment.
