Former Madrid government delegate returns to state-owned Tragsa
Francisco Martín Aguirre has returned to state-owned company Tragsa after leaving his post as Spain’s government delegate in Madrid.
The change came the day after Spain’s Council of Ministers approved his removal from the post.
Martín had resigned amid criticism of his handling of a month-long housing encampment at Puerta del Sol in Madrid.
He has been assigned to Tragsa’s international operations division, where he previously worked on a civilian reconstruction project in Afghanistan.
Tragsa is a state-owned company where Martín worked before moving to the government in 2017.
His return follows his departure from politics and exclusion from the PSOE’s election lists, according to the account.
Madrid’s regional government, city council and Vox are preparing legal action over the encampment, and the story does not say what role Martín will have in that dispute.
Francisco Martín Aguirre returned to state-owned Grupo Tragsa the day after the Council of Ministers approved his departure as Madrid’s government delegate, El Mundo reported.
He has joined the company’s Subdirectorate of International Operations as a senior technical officer.
Martín had worked at Tragsa from 2007 until 2017, when he left for a role in the prime minister’s office.
He resigned as delegate on October 25 amid criticism over his handling of a housing protest camp at Puerta del Sol.
Tragsa officials did not comment, according to the article.
