The First Vice President and Minister for Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation, Nadia Calviño, had a dialog with the Executive President of Ferrovial, Rafael del Pino, wherein she “clearly expressed her rejection” of the choice communicated yesterday concerning the switch of the registered workplace of the corporate to the Netherlands.
According to sources from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Executive is ready to know the main points to investigate and intently comply with the attainable implications of this “faulty choice.”
“This is an organization that owes every part to Spain”, they comment from the Department headed by Nadia Calviño. For this purpose, they consider that “it isn’t acceptable that an organization that was born and grew in Spain and because of the general public funding of Spanish residents exhibits this lack of dedication to its nation”.
For Economy, it’s “paradoxical” that this attainable choice is introduced at a time “of great attraction of international funding and confidence” of buyers and corporations in Spain, and with an “unprecedented” public funding and modernization course of underway within the sectors wherein the Ferrovial group is current.
Early within the morning, the Minister of Agriculture, Luis Planas, requested Ferrovial to clarify the “why” behind the choice to maneuver the corporate’s headquarters to the Netherlands. “It is essential that Ferrovial make clear this continuity. I feel that this intention exists, which is constructive, however Ferrovial should be the one to present the corresponding clarification and extra so in a context wherein in Spain we’re receiving many international investments,” stated the top of Agriculture in an informative breakfast in Europa Press.

The second vice chairman of the Government and Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, didn’t skimp on reproaches about ‘fiscal dumping’. “We must work in a Europe wherein tax dumping doesn’t exist. Ferrovial has grown on the danger of giant contracts with the general public administration. I ask in your dedication to our nation. I ask the shareholders to rethink this choice, and I hope that the Ministry of Economy adopts no matter measures are obligatory to forestall this from taking place. This is just not being Spanish,” Díaz reiterated.

Measuring phrases, the Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, argued that Ferrovial already pays taxes exterior of Spain. Although she has regretted the choice and has emphasised that greater than 80% of the group’s revenue comes from different international locations and, due to this fact, is just not taxed in Spain. But she has warned that the Executive will stay “attentive to different motivations” that justify the departure of Ferrovial de España.
