It will be during the general assembly of the CEOE, which must definitively approve the change in statutes that will mean ending the term limitation of the president of the association. A modification that will give free rein to Garamendi if he decides to run for office for the third time. "Foment approves supporting the modification of the statutes that will be debated at the general assembly of the CEOE on July 19," the Catalan employers' association wrote on its Twitter account on Tuesday. A confirmation of the position he held in the executive committee in June, in which the intervention of Josep Sánchez Llibre stood out to reiterate his loyalty to the president of the CEOE and give his support to the change of statutes, and which was followed by a hug between Sánchez Llibre and Garamendi.
In short, after the November elections, in which Garamendi overwhelmingly defeated Foment's candidate, Virginia Guinda, the Catalan employers' association changed tactics. On the one hand, once the Job Function Email Database scrutiny was passed, it was about seeking to rebuild relations with whoever was going to preside over the CEOE in the coming years, and in this field, the pressure from the establishment . The Catalan business community, alarmed at the possibility of could create a climate of confrontation. In December, in the composition of the new CEOE team, pragmatism prevailed and an agreement was produced between the two parties. Furthermore, Foment also wanted to stop playing the role of opposition-in-chief after seeing how Garamendi's supposed critics, when push came to shove, never took the expected step forward and remained in a discreet position, leaving the culés at the front of the demonstration.
In this context, when Garamendi took the initiative to modify the statutes, Foment, after an internal debate, decided to give its support. In this way, in the executive committee, the current president has already won the game. His proposal went ahead with only one vote against and one abstention, which today guarantees a calm day.The CEOE established this two-term limit in April 2014, with Juan Rosell as president of the organization. Rosell, who began leading the association in 2010, complied with the limit established then in the statutes and left the presidency in 2018, after two terms, being replaced by Garamendi. In the previous period there was no limitation, which allowed José María Cuevas, for example, to direct this business organization for no less than 23 years.
