The 22 BBVA shareholders who participated , a good portion of them union representatives with large bundles of securities, accounted for a sharp counterpoint to the image of technology bank and in harmony with its staff which screened at the president's speeches , Francisco González , and CEO Angel Cano, in the shareholders' meeting held in Bilbao. Representatives from eight unions and associations of former employees complained about the lack of material resources , longer journeys and especially the disproportion between their adjusted salaries and approving a bonus of up to 70 million to 163 top executives , which it may involve the collection of 430,000 euros each in cash and shares, depending on achievement of objectives .
The Basque trade union ELA asked the bank to bring its headquarters to Bilbao and stressed that President BBVA earned more than all together government representatives who attended the Global Economic Forum held a few weeks ago in Bilbao , including two ministers, the Prime Minister the head of the IMF and the King.
" Regarding the salaries of employees , are average or a little above respecting others ," replies González
The president's response was blunt: " I do not think just such claims in a bank that has created jobs and pay their salaries . Nor is it ethical to say no credit ... we talk a lot about what executives earn but is in the middle of what they pay comparable international companies. And regarding salaries of employees, are average or slightly above respect for others . " However, in his final farewell , at 4.30 pm, after two hours of speeches , Gonzalez admitted he was aware of the protests that generates " the behavior of the financial system , which has made me look bad and protests logical " . He added that " this bank is corruption and pay the necessary price for standing up to people " who seek personal gain.
Continuing this argument , responded to Ausbanc association , without naming who was present through five shareholders. "This bank is not looking like some Advertise with threats or blackmail , to which the BBVA does not lend nor pay " .
Gonzalez then returned to the defense bonus of executives : " It's a lie that will pay 200%. It is a release that asks the board in the case of meeting objectives. It is a European standard that is raising a lot of criticism because it is causing talent go outside Europe to America and Asia . "
Among the shareholders raged strong criticism in Spain registered the real estate business losses , independence of directors, the problems of preference Eroski sold BBVA, the investment risk of a bank in Turkey and the red that caused the sale of a stake in China CITIC bank . These issues were not addressed in the speeches of the two executives .
Also for these cases the president's response was radical. He denied that 2013 was a bad year for the BBVA because the stock is up 28 % because it has achieved 10.200 million net margin . On corporate governance shareholder said : " I accept that I will not talk about it. Ours is among the best in the world, the directors are independent , I am not a personal friend of them and I only knew three . "
A shareholder who claimed payment of the preferred investment , longed joints of the previous era , under the presidency of Emilio Ybarra, to which he devoted a greeting. He said they were " quieter " and sedate . González 's reply was enigmatic : "Ethics requires us to not pay at all because we are not authorized . Yes we could have together ... but quieter when you pay for them not to come to protest is not a good manager , as before . "

In relation to the risk assumed by the bank 's participation in the Turkish Garanti clarified that are in that country with a long square, outside the specific problems by devaluing the currency. " We control the best bank in Turkey, a country with macroeconomic and political problems will be fixed when we do not know because we are not politicians." In response to criticism by losses in China , said that " overall, the return on this investment is 0.8% so far. Being in China is interesting without losing money . "
Regarding the preference of Eroski said they have appealed against the sentence of a judge " and take you to wherever you need to defend our actions. If Tarry wrong , rectify , but gave everyone the opportunity to convert their investment in shares and most have won more than 100% . Half-truths that are too big lies are told . "
Secretary Domingo Armengol , responded to three more reviews : the Supreme who have condemned the bank for ground clauses , non-participation in SAREB and payment of dividend. Clauses , Armengol reminded they ordered the annulment and appeal to the Constitutional and that in 2014 , if interest rates remain the same , "will impact 35 million net per month ."
Regarding the absence of BBVA in the shareholding of the bad bank , Armengol said she refused to go for three reasons: increased property risk , there were conflicts of interest and SAREB not submitted a business plan developed . " Then he decided a deduction in participation in the Guarantee Fund for those in the SAREB , which is contrary to the criteria of the ECB , but that does not make us change our policy ," he said . Finally remembered the dividend option, which allows the payment of two dividends , its wide acceptance and " has been a capital increase of 1,060 million in 2013."
