The race, to head the Euro group, a meeting of the economy and ministers of the finance of the eurozone, is cleaned. Minister of Economics, Carlos Body, just announced that he was withdrawing his candidacy to preside the agencyThe field is the situation that paves the way to its current president Pashala Donokho in order to overestimate to a position that is disputed only by the Minister of Socialist Finance, Lithuanian Rimantas Shajus.
The economy and financial owners of the euro should say on Monday voting, who will become the next person responsible for the brothers and the reign of the agency, over the next two and a half years, the mandate, which begins at the end of July. The current president of the agency in two mandates, that is, five years, was presented at the attendance of this position, that is, five years, The Irishman Passhawed Donokho and the Minister of Finance of Lithuania Rimantas Shajius.
“After intensive weeks of contacts with my colleagues, to gather support with my colleagues, ministers of the finance of the Eurogeps and the conversations that took place before this weekend, We came to the conclusion that we did not guarantee the necessary support to fulfill the candidate “He indicated the Minister of Economics, Carlos Bologn, in the statements of the press in Brussels
This is the reason why he decided “In fulfillment of responsibility”, “take a step aside and favor the consensus candidate For the next presidency of the Eurogroup, ”which is considered“ it requires an element of unity ”and“ avoid fragmentation. “
The body “thanks to their colleagues, in order to express their support, which was transverse, outside the political, ideological and geographical proximity.” According to the ministry, the electoral process was positive, and a generalized message was transmitted about the need to enhance the impact and efficiency of the Eurogroup.
The Spanish minister officially ran to this position on June 27 after he supported his colleagues. He did this after several weeks, when his name sounded like a possible applicant and after surveys among his colleagues have already been conducted.
Among the high communities of appetite for Spanish candidates, the presidency of the European group is usually. Became a kind of trampoline for the Spaniards Make a recognition and search for maneuvers within the framework of a community that allows them to step in the direction of the dome of the European Institute.
The candidate in the body follows the same drift as other ministers of the Spanish economy, who previously sought to preside in the Euro group. The same thing happened with Nadia Kalvinho, in 2020 He lost his career to take the brothers of the agency’s reign before the current president Easter donu. However, in his case, not that Louis de Guyindos did not leave the race to the vote. The latter also lost the opportunity to take the brothers of the board of the Eurogroup against the socialist Jerome Deissel blogam in 2015.
In favor of the body, factors such as a good name that worked as a negotiator in difficult legislative files, such as the reform of fiscal rules, during the presidency of the EU Council in 2023, played in favor of the body. However, against him, other factors indicated their control, such as a large number of Spaniards in high positions in public institutions. In any case, there are those who see the candidacy of the body as The formula to become known in their future aspirations to the community dome.
In these last weeks, the body took a very clear position in which the drift, which should take the Eurogroup, whose meetings had great weight and relevance during the economic crisis of 2008, but whose function was diluted over time. In a joint letter, also signed by the Great Economics of the Euro, Italy, France, Germany and the Netherlands, they called “Reinse the future of the body“Give great relevance for these meetings and promotion in the Union of Capital markets.
A message that claims to be more dynamism in the face of the Irish mandate and that, although it could not be read as a clear support of the Spanish candidate, it can be interpreted as a coordinated prospect that opens the door to win the favor of its colleagues in the euro.
