The appointment of José Vicente de los Mozos as the new CEO of Indra was born with controversy and without unanimity at the top. The independent director of German origin Axel Arendt, voted this Thursday against the appointment.

The German has not lasted a year in office, because he joined last autumn within the new wave of independent directors to replace those expelled in a maneuver by the Government and its allies to take control of Indra. He must now be replaced by another independent director, unless the Government wants to modify agreements.
