Editorial: El Mundo

• Seat's CEO, Wayne Griffiths, stepping down from the automotive association presidency is indicative of the business sector's frustration with a government not driving ecological policies.
• 58 companies in the sector backed Griffiths, showing a widespread discontent.
• Government inaction is threatening Spain's competitive position in the European market.
• Unfair competition from China has forced the Commission to impose tariffs on Chinese electric cars.
• The implementation of the MOVES plan and the improvement of the recharging infrastructure, which Pedro Sánchez pledged to launch, have not materialised.
• There is no effective plan for fiscal incentives, resulting in inadequate support for the purchase of electric cars.
• While Spain has the potential to become a hub for electric mobility, it needs the government to move from rhetoric to action and promote public-private collaboration.

Conclusion: The Spanish government needs to take definitive steps to facilitate the transition towards electric mobility and sustain the country's competitive position in the European and global car market.
