• War in Ukraine Pedro Sánchez arrives in kyiv to meet with Zelensky

  • Wallbox Companies wants to be the Spanish Apple

Pedro Sánchez did not attend yesterday the inauguration of the third

WallBox

factory , the Spanish company that manufactures chargers for electric vehicles, which is listed on Wall Street.

The President of the Government chose a visit, together with the Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, José Luis Escrivá, to the Center for Attention, Reception and Referral of Ukrainian Refugees, in the Palace of Fairs and Congresses of Malaga.

just one day before his trip to Ukraine where he will meet with Volodimir Zelensky, the Ukrainian president.

The fact is that

Wallbox had planned to inaugurate its third factory with the capacity to manufacture a million chargers a year and located in the Free Trade Zone of Barcelona on April 7.

The fact is that

that day, Pedro Sánchez's agenda was complicated

.

That was the day that the president traveled to Morocco to meet with King Mohamed VI in view of the new scenario of relations between Spain and the North African country, after the turn of the Spanish Government in which the autonomy of Western Sahara is recognized but within Morocco as the Moroccan executive wants.

Just before that day, Pedro Sánchez received the newly appointed president of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, at La Moncloa.

The seriousness of the issues to be discussed on the 7th by Pedro Sánchez required a change in the dates of the inauguration of the WallBox plant.

Thus, from the Spanish company the change of date is communicated on April 4 and the day 20 is announced

to hold the event, maintaining the agenda.

Espionage

The problem is that on the 18th it comes to light that

63 Catalan political leaders linked to independence have been spied

on through the Israeli Pegasus system.

Pere Aragonés, the Catalan president, asked Pedro Sánchez to "assume responsibilities" because "there are no excuses" to spy on public officials.

The Gvern has called for the resignation of the Minister of Defence, Margarita Robles, and of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, and of Justice, Pilar Llop, and

Aragonés went so far as to say that the ERC's support would be broken in the Congress of Deputies if the eavesdropping started from the Central Government, in addition to leaving the dialogue table

between Catalonia and Spain frozen.

Faced with this confrontation and distancing between the Government and the Central Government,

Pedro Sánchez preferred to spend yesterday with the Ukrainian refugees in Malaga than to attend the inauguration of a WallBox factory where his position was covered by Reyes Maroto

, the Minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism, which knows the company of Catalan origin well.

Pere Aragonés attended the appointment and greeted Maroto at the protocol ceremony.

Ada Colau

, the mayor of Barcelona,

​​also attended .

520 employees

The new political crisis between the Government and the Government does not overshadow the fact that WallBox has decided to establish its third production plant in the Barcelona Free Zone.

It has involved an investment of nine million euros and can currently manufacture 750,000 chargers per year, reaching a million units.

Currently,

it already employs 203 people but it is expected that, when it is operating at full capacity and operating 3 shifts, it will employ more than 520.

The new Wallbox factory, from which up to 1,200 chargers leave daily

, is the result of the agreement signed with the Free Zone Consortium that resulted in a 10-year lease for the land.

It occupies 16,800 m2 and the factory has 11,220 m2.

It has an office area, a warehouse for materials, another for chargers already produced and about to be shipped, production lines and a validation area.
