Maria Ubarretxena: "Our demands have little to do with the interests of Aena's private fund, we want to promote public service."

With regard to Aena's handover to the Government's agreement with the Spanish Government, the Government spokesman has said that he understands "the position of the other side", since although 51% of Aena belongs to the State, in that other 49% there are private funds seeking benefits.
