  • The Minister of Economy, Carlos Cuerpo, attempted to force the resignation of the Councilor of the Bank of Spain, Judith Arnal.
  • This behavior reveals an intention to subordinate authority figures to political forces.
  • That represents a threat to the integrity of institutions and a violation of the Law of Autonomy of the Bank of Spain.
  • The PP has the lowest share of power in the body in three decades.
  • Cuerpo's actions confirm his attempt to interfere in the supervisory body.
  • Arnal has refused to resign and she still has more than four years left in the mandate.

Conclusion: This series of events reflect a worrying trend towards political control of institutions, a situation that jeopardizes their autonomy and integrity.
