Deutsche Bahn asked for data on the privatization of Renfe The big businessmen who traveled with Angela Merkel to Madrid came with one objective: to take advantage of the delicate situation that many Spanish companies are going through to try to buy. For example, the German railway giant, Deutsche Bahn, was interested in the privatization of Renfe. As El Confidencial Digital has learned from high-level business sources, Deutsche Bahn's interest in the privatization of Renfe was conveyed by important German senior managers to major Spanish businessmen during Angela Merkel 's visit to Madrid, just a week ago. Deutsche Bahn is the largest European transport operator, with almost 300,000 employees. In 2011, the multinational had a turnover of 38,000 million euros . The public railway company in Germany has seen in Renfe the opportunity to expand its presence in Spain.

Among its objectives are also the transport of goods and the so-called Mediterranean corridor . They have requested information from Development Business sources, to which ECD has had Middle East Mobile Number List   access , explain that senior officials in Merkel's Government maintained contacts with those responsible for Development to learn in detail the details of the plan managed by the Government to liberalize rail transport in Spain. The exchange of information took place during the Spanish-German Summit , which brought together the presidents and CEOs of the hundred most leading Spanish and German companies in Moncloa .



Delicate situation of companies According to the sources consulted, the German delegation left the big Spanish businessmen present at those contacts with the feeling that their 'colonizing' desire was not going to remain in Renfe . In Germany, they do not overlook the punishment that Spanish listed companies have suffered due to the turbulence in the markets and, in particular, the increased risk of investing in Spain due to the country's delicate economic situation. In this way, the acquisition or entry into large Spanish companies is, at this time, a much simpler operation from a financial point of view. And German investors and businessmen are going to try to take advantage of this by entering Spain at large , buying everything they can. Angela Merkel's maneuver Angela Merkel had already put Renfe in her sights before arriving in Madrid.
