Sánchez does not guarantee his presence at the key summit in Ireland for the presidency of the ECB: "We have been negotiating for some time, Hernández de Cos is the best candidate"

The President of the Government of Spain has not assured his presence at the informal summit of presidents that will be held this Friday in Dublin, and in which the leaders will hold conversations that seem key for the next presidency of the European Central Bank (ECB) to which Pablo Hernández de Cos opts. What's more, right now what seems most likely is that Pedro Sánchez will not attend this appointment given that the electoral campaign begins on the same day, November 13.

Asked about this issue, the first vice president of the Executive, Carlos Corpo, has not assured Sánchez's presence at all and has focused on highlighting the strengths of Hernández de Cos' candidacy. And he pointed out that Spain has been negotiating this candidacy for some time and that the reception by other countries has been good.

"We are optimistic that Spain, for the first time, can have someone at the head of the European Central Bank. It is now up to the next president to pick up that baton. And we believe that Pablo is without a doubt the best candidate for this job," said the also Minister of Economy.

"We have been preparing this candidacy for some time and what we have found is a very good reception by our colleagues of what the candidate means in this case as a potential president or leader of the ECB and the importance also of having a profile like Pablo's at the head of an institution like the European Central Bank, at a complicated time," he stressed.
