The PNV has asked the Spanish Government to "stop hindering" the purchase of Talgo
A company led by Sidenor's president,José Antonio Jainaga , today called on the Spanish Government not to "hinder" the purchase of 29.8% of the company Talgo. Jeltzales have assured that the SEPI has "reversed" its initial commitment to contribute 150 million euros to this operation.
The PNV spokeswoman at the Congress, Maribel Cowboy, has stated in a statement that "if the operation fails, it will be the Spanish Government that will have to explain to the Basques the causes of this failure." "The situation can still be rectified, but there is no room to waste time," she added.
The PNV recalls that the Spanish Government, through the SEPI, initially committed itself to supporting the purchase and strengthening the company through a loan ofEUR 150 million .
Subsequently, the State proposed to split the operation into two so that the Spanish Government would take over the remaining 75 million and the Basque consortium led by Sidenor (in which the Basque public fundsFinkatuz and the BBK and Vital funds also participate).
The jeltzales deputies of Congress have denounced that the government of Pedro Sánchez isputting "obstacles" in the way of closing the purchase and recalled that this company is strategic for the Basque Autonomous Community.
Cowboy has called for the agreement to be concluded so that the company can release orders worth around EUR 4 billion and maintain its jobs.
