The promoter of the maneuver has influence in Expansión and seeks to 'assault' his chair The president of Repsol considers that there is a maneuver underway to unseat him from the presidency of the oil company. Antonio Brufau suspects a person, with decisive influence on the newspaper Expansión, as the promoter of the entire operation.As El Confidencial Digital has learned from sources close to the president of Repsol, Brufau is convinced that the person behind the information published this Monday by the newspaper Expansión, in which it was stated that 'Repsol is preparing to replace Brufau' , seeks to occupy his position in the oil company. This is, at least, the intuition that he is transmitting privately these days to people he trusts most.
