Juan María Nin takes over the presidency of the Círculo de Empresarios
Juan María Nin Génova, until now vice-president of the Círculo de Empresarios, has taken over the presidency of this business association for the next three years. He replaces Manuel Pérez-Sala, who has been appointed honorary president by the Board of Directors.
The new president has appointed Carmen Mateo and Isabel Dutilh, who will also be legal advisor, as new vice-presidents, and has renewed the mandates of Ana Argelich and José María López de Letona. The treasurer will be Ricardo Martínez Rico.
At the moment of his handover, the outgoing president thanked the members of the Círculo for their support for his administration, recalling that "it has been three difficult years in which we have tried to defend the figure of the entrepreneur, the importance of strong and independent institutions to guarantee free enterprise and the free market, to propose the major structural reforms that our country needs and to initiate a reflection on how to improve the lives of the next generations".
In his acceptance speech, the new president thanked the trust placed in him and pointed out: "The importance of the Institution, which will soon be 50 years old, its relevant role in the development of civil society in Spain and its permanent positive contribution as a centre of thought for progress in terms of freedom and justice through collaboration with other national and international institutions, Government and Administration and the business world".
