The family business asks Sánchez for “a calm political climate” and “quality democracy”

Family businessmen have demanded before Pedro Sánchez that his Government promote “a calm political climate” and a “quality democracy in which we all fit.” The new president of the Family Business Institute (IEF), Ignacio Rivera, began his mandate with these words at the annual assembly of the institute, which was attended by the head of the Executive and which was held this Wednesday at the Royal Palace from Madrid.

Rivera has also asked Sánchez for actions to guarantee that "the framework of coexistence that has cost us so much to achieve and build" is prolonged. The president of the IEF, who succeeds Andrés Sendagorta in office, has conveyed to the President of the Government his “personal and institutional offer to make this country greater.”

The Family Business Institute had been maintaining public disagreements with Sánchez for some years, who had not attended its various calls in the last five years. Today, in the capital, the President of the Government was once again present at the institute's assembly and asked family businessmen for help: "What I would like to ask of you is that you help us improve people's lives," he claimed. Sanchez.

The head of the Executive, in his first event with a group of businessmen after the five days of reflection in April, assured that "businesses are essential for the growth, well-being and stability of the country." He added that companies “are also a product of democracy, the result of an international order based on rules and a product of the welfare state.” “I would like to ask for your involvement to continue raising the purchasing power of workers, to contribute together to stop and adapt to the climate crisis, and to defend democracy together,” he claimed before the IEF.

Those present applauded Sánchez's speech, which also proclaimed that the Government will be an "ally" of companies that invest to be more competitive. Specifically, the president has said that “we have to use current profits to invest in society” and that his Executive will know how to “reward” companies that do so.
