This is how he spoke this Wednesday during his participation in the 'Finance Summit Day' that was held at the Casa de Convalescència in Barcelona, ​​organized by the Association for the Progress of Management (APD), Tickelia, AON and Expense Reduction Analysts, and after the third attack by Gotham City Research against the blood products company, whose shares plummeted more than 16% at 2:30 p.m.

Buenaventura has explained that the supervisor's "number one" priority is to clarify the situation in relation to the financial information published by Grifols and the Gotham City report that questions it.
