The Popular Party and Citizens ask for explanations in Parliament about the pressures of the Vice President of the Government, Teresa Ribera, to the president of Red Eléctrica de España (REE), Jordi Sevilla, which is a listed company.

The PP has requested the appearance of Ribera to explain what happened. The general secretary of the PP group, Guillermo Mariscal, has accused Ribera on Tuesday of forcing Jordi Sevilla out of Red Eléctrica (REE) for exerting "pressures" with her husband, CNMC advisor, Mariano Bacigalupo, which is why which has claimed its appearance before the Congress, according to Europa Press. EL MUNDO published on Tuesday that Ribera asked Sevilla not to fight against decisions of the National Commission of Markets and Competition (CNMC) approved by, among others, her husband Bacigalupo.

Mariscal has criticized " the pressures exerted by a clamp clearly collusive between the vice president and a counselor of the CNMC, because they are marriage . " For the PP deputy, "it is a clear indication of the little or no belief that exists in the freedom of business, the shareholders' meetings and all the work that is carried out in the companies."

In this regard, he recalled that Red Eléctrica is a company where 80% of its shareholders "are in the hands of foreign investment" and therefore the departure of its president "is a new indication of generating uncertainty and abandonment of investment foreign ".

Mariscal has also claimed that Red Eléctrica, operator of the electricity market, "is the main instrument to achieve the energy transition, decarbonization and the increase in the presence of renewable energy in the electric mix."

For their part, the deputies of Citizens, Marcos de Quinto and María Muñoz, have registered questions to the Government on the case, including if it is not concerned that "the interference of the Executive in a listed company may project an image of legal uncertainty for investors both domestic and foreign. " Also, if you do not believe that exercising such pressures "contravenes the current legislation of corporations by acting against the interests of society."
