The dismissed directors at Indra assure in writing that the Government only wants members in the company "who do not oppose its claims" and do not demand that someone "with sufficient capacity and experience" preside over it.

They make harsh statements in the letters to explain their dismissal that the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) has forced Indra to publish.

The former vice president of Indra and coordinator of the independents until now at Indra,

Alberto Terol

, maintains that his dismissal and that of his colleagues "can only be due to SEPI's intention [the government arm of Indra] to form a new majority in the council,

to which advisers who do not oppose its claims are incorporated

".

Along the same lines, another dismissed director,

Enrique de Leyva

, affirms that "it is of course possible that the directors or shareholders [alluding to the Government] who have advised Amber [the fund of the president of Prisa,

Joseph Ourghourlian

] raise my cease they have done so because they foresee that, in the face of certain changes that they want to propose (perhaps executive functions for the president) or certain decisions that they want to make in the future, my vote will not be to their liking

and they will not be able to bend it

Perhaps this is the only underlying reason."

Carmen Aquerreta

adds that she was dismissed for defending professional management at Indra: "I think the reason for my dismissal is related to two factors: on the one hand, my interest at all times in seeking to have a majority of Independent Directors in Indra, truly independent directors with the critical capacity and professional experience necessary to do their job, and with my rejection of any type of action that could imply a de facto minority of Independent Directors (truly independent); on the other hand,

my demand that Indra be managed at its highest level, by executives with sufficient capacity and experience for such management".

As for

Ana de Pro

, she points out to the CNMV that Sepi, Amber and the Basque group Sapa have withheld information from the rest of the shareholders in order to take control online with Terol.

"I want to emphasize that, in my opinion, as a result of these actions

, the recommendations on good governance of the company have been breached to the

detriment of the minority shareholders, who are the majority of the shareholders," says De Pro.
