Economy The Government gives the PP another chance at the Bank of Spain

The Government gives the Popular Party another opportunity in renewing the Board of the Bank of Spain.

Official sources from the Ministry of Economic Affairs confirm to EL MUNDO that the possibility of the main opposition party proposing a candidate to fill the position left by Antonio Cabrales remains. He resigned, as this newspaper advanced this Tuesday, six hours after his appointment in the Council of Ministers after discovering the PP that had supported in a manifesto in the past the independentista Clara Ponsatí and the former Minister of Economy Andreu Mas-Colell .

In the Ministry they decline to make assessments although other government sources affect the inability of the PP to propose candidates and maintain their support for an economist that they initially considered irreproachable.

For his part, Cabrales has abandoned his Twitter presence and declines to comment on his resignation, which the PP claims is "voluntary."

Currently there is no director left at the proposal of the PP in the Bank of Spain, including the Executive. In the distribution tradition, he would be entitled to two, but the First Vice President of the Government, Nadia Calviño, only offers one with a second chance. Of the two councilors appointed by the Council of Ministers this Tuesday, Judith Arnal, Calviño's former chief of staff, remains.
