Perla Wahnón Benarroch is the president of the Confederation of Scientific Societies of Spain. She welcomes the creation of a National Scientific Advisory Office in Spain.

The office will report to the Moncloa Presidency, she says. COSCE has called for an organization similar to those that exist in other advanced countries such as the United States or the United Kingdom. It is important for the proper functioning of the office that it is not about scientists doing politics, she adds, but that the Government calls experts on duty only when a need arises.
