Garamendi sees in the signing of the Scholarship Statute "an electoral act" that tends to "not have practices"

He says that "there is no place", when Congress is "closed" and that it must be the elections that determine "what the people want to decide"

BILBAO, 16 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The president of the CEOE, Antonio Garamendi, has described the signing of the Scholarship Statute between the central government and the unions as an "electoral act" and believes that it has "the vocation that there may not be internships in this country."

Garamendi has made these demonstrations in Bilbao, where he has participated in "Los Viernes de la Cámara", in relation to the signing of the Scholarship Statute, which did not have the participation of the CEOE.

The president of the Spanish employers' association has affirmed that the CEOE is not going to participate in "electoral acts" and has assured that "it does not make much sense" a Statute that the universities do not share and "many" of the students do not share either, in addition to the own CEOE.

"Honestly, I think there is no place; the elections have to be the ones that have to mark what the Spanish people want to decide and, from that moment on, we will sit down. But, honestly, I see it as an electoral act that has not place and, even less, when at the moment the Congress is closed and it is the permanent deputation that is on the table", he added.

Garamendi has indicated that "it stays there" and, "of course, the vocation is that there may not be practices in this country." Faced with the accusations from the unions that they believe that it is "political" on the part of the employers not to have participated in the signing, he has responded that "it is political to go there to take a photo."

As he has stated, the CEOE is always "when it has to be", "it signs when it has to be signed" and, when they consider that "no", they say "no".

Garamendi has indicated that he will not enter the fund because "they do not know what the papers are" since they have not yet seen what the document related to the Statute is, but they do not share it and believes that it is being signed by "people who know little about this". "Above all it is an electoral act", he has manifested himself.
