The article centers on the alleged attempt by the Spanish government, particularly under Pedro Sánchez's leadership, to gain control over major corporate foundations, such as 'la Caixa' and Telefónica. This is framed as a strategy to maintain influence even outside of direct political power.
The strategy reportedly involves influencing the appointments to the boards of these foundations. Specific mention is made of modifying the length of patron mandates to keep favored individuals in positions of power after potential government changes. 'La Caixa' and TelefĂłnica's foundations are highlighted as key targets.
The article implies collaboration between the Spanish and Catalan governments to achieve these goals. The potential impact on the future composition of the foundations' boards is emphasized.
The author expresses concern about the potential for opaque control over substantial budgets and the creation of a network of influence that operates outside of public scrutiny. The article suggests this method allows for power to be maintained even after potential electoral shifts. The article concludes with the assertion that the boards of foundations are significant centers of power that are subject to this political maneuvering.
