Nadia Calviño

Nadia Calviño is currently the President of the European Investment Bank (BEI). Previously, she served as Spain's Minister of Economy. She is newsworthy due to ongoing discussions and investigations surrounding the 2021 government bailout of the Spanish airline Plus Ultra, which had Venezuelan capital. Internal communications suggest that Calviño, along with María Jesús Montero (former Finance Minister), sought to distance themselves from the decision, but are now implicated. Recent articles highlight the controversy surrounding the bailout and the roles of various government officials, including Calviño. Her current role as President of the BEI adds significance to these past events, raising questions about her judgment and potential implications for her leadership at the European level. Furthermore, she recently highlighted the urgency for Europe to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and the US, given the current geopolitical climate.
