In full controversy over the CEOE leader’s salary and statements, the company claims that despite being on the agenda, it missed some legal reports
The new appointment of Antonio Garamendi, Chairman of the CEOE, as chairman of Aenor has been postponed precisely amid the controversy over his salary and because of some statements in which he compared the criticism received to “when there is rape and they say that the girl went in short skirt”.
The nomination of Garamendi as president was one of the agenda items of the board of directors of the Spanish Association for Standardization (UNE), the sole shareholder of Aenor, which was held last Wednesday but could not be carried out due to the lack of some documents, as confirmed to this newspaper by sources of the company dedicated to certification.
This is the usual procedure after Carlos Esteban’s term as president expired last December, as the statutes stipulate that the vice president, who has been the Basque businessman for the past six years, automatically becomes acting president, but now he would be officially appointed . .
From Aenor, they assure that the transfer has not been completed because some legal reports necessary for the appointment were missing and they were ultimately not ready before this date, but coincidentally it coincides with a critical moment for the leader of the businessmen, who is in the eye of the hurricane is after learning that he earns an annual salary of 380,000 euros and that he has regularized his situation at the CEOE by moving from self-employed to salaried.
The Vox trade union, Solidaridad, has asked the Labor Inspectorate to investigate this employment relationship in case it committed an irregularity by working as a bogus self-employed person.
