The resignation of Jordi Sevilla at the helm of Red Eléctrica at his own request is bad news. Beyond that its strategic performance has been generally successful, the cessation has a very worrying motivation: the continued interference of Teresa Ribera in the direction of the company. The resignation of the former socialist minister comes after trying to defend the autonomy of management against the repeated control maneuvers of the Vice President of Energy Transition, who has exhibited for months a disturbing interventionist to the point of interfering so that he did not fight against decisions of her husband, advisor of the CNMC. That Red Eléctrica is owned by the State in 20% is not, by any means, a sufficient condition for those who must regulate the electricity markets to arrogate the will to control a listed multinational of the Ibex. Ribera must clarify the most murky points of the background of a resignation that from government spheres are trying to be dispatched as the normal consequence of the lack of understanding between the minister and Seville. Nothing is further from reality: it is the result of the worst version that could be expected from this Government. That voracious intervention that says: either with me or without you.
