Miriam González Durántez is resigning her seat on the Board of Directors of the Spanish healthcare company Atrys Health . The chair of the party Democracia 21 will devote herself exclusively to her political work and her candidacy in the Parliamentary election in Spain , according to the company. Her resignation takes effect on 12 November 2026.
Atrys notified Spain’s stock market regulator of the move on Thursday. González submitted her resignation in writing on 11 November. The board noted the decision and thanked the lawyer for her work and contribution to the company.
By leaving the board, González is also giving up her roles on two committees. She was chair and a member of the Nominations and Remuneration Committee, as well as a member of the Audit Committee. The announcement did not name a successor to these roles.
González was appointed as an independent member of the Atrys Health board in June 2023. The appointment was for four years and was therefore due to run until June 2027. Her resignation brings the term to an early end.
The parliamentary election in Spain will take place on 29 November. The election decree published in October dissolved the Congress of Deputies and the Senate and called new elections for both chambers. The official election campaign begins on 13 November and ends on 27 November.
González is the founder and chair of Democracia 21. According to Spain’s public broadcaster, she heads an electoral list that has also been joined by the party Ciudadanos . The joint electoral project is called Democracia para el Siglo 21, meaning Democracy for the 21st Century.
In October, González had already announced that her formation would contest the election together with Ciudadanos and the Unión de Ciudadanos Independientes, the Association of Independent Citizens. The party initially plans to focus on the constituencies of Madrid and Barcelona . González is standing as a candidate for head of government.
The withdrawal from Atrys therefore directly affects her roles on the company’s governing bodies. The company cited her focus on political activity and her candidacy as the reason; it did not mention any legal obligation to resign.
