Kutxa Foundation refuses to join Ayesa's purchase with the votes of PNV and Elkarrekin Podemos
Only one vote has decided to join the basque consortium, which consists of the Basque Government, the BBK Foundation and the Indar fund.
Kutxa Foundationhas refused to jointhe Basque consortium to buy Ayesa thanks to the votes of PNV and Elkarrekin Podemos.
At a meeting held this Monday, representatives of the political forces in the Basque Country voted against the proposal, so Kutxa will not join the group formed by the Basque Government by a single vote.
Faced with this decision, representatives of EH Bildu and PSE have been critical and "concerned."
The purchase will bring to the Basque Country the technological division of Ibermatica San Sebastián, although the Kutxa Foundation will not be part of the Basque consortium formed by the Basque Government, the BBK Foundation and the Indar Fund.
Political reactions
The Industry, Energy Transition and Sustainability Advisor, Mikel Jauregi, has been sad about the decision and has described it as "a pity," and has stressed that the agreement will be signed before the end of the year.
On the other hand, the reactions of the political forces have been immediate, since EH Bildu and PSE-EE have voted in favour of the proposal and are therefore not satisfied with the decision taken by the other parties.
Abertzale spokesman Pello Otxandiano has described the decision as a "serious mistake" and criticized the "lack of vision of the country. "
"How is it possible that BBK has one investment policy and Kutxa has another? (...) The foundations of the banks are created to do social work, in this case, to root out a major company, not to do financial business," said EH Bildu's spokesman.
For his part, the PSE-EE General Secretary of Gipuzkoa, José Ignacio Asensio, has expressed his "concern" about the "strategic" operation in the territory of Gipuzkoa.
"It is incomprehensible that a foundation like Kutxa does not want to participate in a similar project, based in San Sebastián, which has a direct impact on the economic and social development of the territory," the socialist leader has denounced.
Elkarrekin Podemos, on the other hand, has described the proposal as an "unnecessary risk" to the financial transaction and has therefore been the reason for voting against it.
