King Felipe VI on Wednesday gave clear support to businessmen at the closing of the summit of the Spanish Confederation of Business Organizations (CEOE) and asked that their conclusions be evaluated to "modernize" the economy "without wasting time".

"This CEOE Forum has been an important instrument loaded with future messages aimed at building trust and promoting competitiveness, investment and job creation ."

The King has highlighted the role of private initiative and has underlined that "all without exception - from tourism to the automobile and from transportation to construction and energy, passing through the agri-food sector, finance, commerce or infrastructure (and without forget anyone) - they are necessary in the architecture of our economy and in the current situation that worries us so much. "

Felipe VI has also defended "social dialogue" at a time when businessmen are demanding that the government not legislate, ignoring the criteria of businessmen. " True to your mission, you continue to defend the role of social dialogue, along with Unions, as a necessary tool for the modernization of our productive fabric , "he said, addressing the CEOE President, Antonio Garamendi, host of the summit.

The Monarch has encouraged the employers to "continue with force". "We play a lot, and in the global market things move very fast; we take advantage of all the possible tools at our disposal, without wasting time and with the strategic ambition of always achieving higher levels of well-being, prestige and even leadership," manifested the head of state.

The third vice-president of the Government, Nadia Calviño, also attended, and, in her presence, Garamendi made an introduction stressing that the petition to Europe must be accompanied by "solidarity on our part". The CEOE president has claimed after the coronavirus "budgetary rigor" and a responsible execution of European aid for which he has announced the creation of an office at the employers' association that identifies projects likely to receive EU funding.

Both Felipe VI and Garamendi have agreed to make calls to join forces. " Together we can always go further and in better conditions. In recent months, businessmen have known how to demonstrate this and I am convinced that you will continue to do so with renewed encouragement," highlighted the King.

For Garamendi, "we are facing a society that yearns for unity of action and a constructive spirit. Tolerance and calm."
