SEVILLA, 5 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism, Reyes Maroto, hopes that in the next few days the monitoring commission created to seek the viability of the Sevillian multinational Abengoa will convey “good news” about its future. For now, she has remarked, “they are defining offers in the field of companies that may be interested” after having defined which subsidiaries of the group are viable.
“We are in a very intense phase to guarantee the viability of Abengoa”, Maroto pointed out in an interview with Canal Sur Radio, collected by Europa Press.
The minister explained that in the two months that have elapsed since the working group was created to try to save the multinational that was born by an agreement reached between the Government and the Junta de Andalucía, “something fundamental” has been achieved, paying salaries and ” perimeter very well that number of companies associated with Abengoa”.
That was the first task of this working group: to limit the network of around 300 subsidiaries of the multinational Abengoa that could be saved to give continuity to the company, which was in a limit situation after the SEPI in June definitively grant a ransom of 249 million for Abenewco 1, a subsidiary where the company maintains its most valuable assets and main lines of business, considering that its viability was not proven.
This delimitation has already taken place and offers are now being studied, a “complex job” in the words of the minister, who has remarked that she is “getting involved in the first person” and has called for good news from the monitoring commission of this group of work that will convene “next week”.
