Leonor and Letizia ‘reign’ on the list of the most influential women in Spain

This Wednesday the Second Edition of the list of The 100 Most Influential Women in Spain by Forbes Women took place in Madrid, an event chaired by the second vice president of the Government and leader of Sumar, Yolanda Díaz, and attended by some of the members of the list, such as Susanna Griso and Ana Obregón among others.

The actress has confessed that it was an unexpected appointment: “The first thing I thought was that they were crazy. It’s very good, although some of them I don’t agree with.” Ana claims to be “grateful to Forbes”, but makes it clear that “we are people who show our faces, but there are some who do a job, for example in Health, who are not here.”

The television presenter is gradually resuming all her commitments six months after becoming a mother-grandmother: “I am choosing very few things because I want to be with my daughter, today is the second time I have separated from her.” Regarding Ana Sandra’s baptism, she revealed: “Almost everything is prepared.” And she slips away from the act by confessing: “I can’t stand heels, I want to wear a tracksuit and give bottles.”

Among the 100 most influential women according to Forbes Women, important personalities in the world of culture, business or sports stand out.
