In particular, I would like to highlight Casto González-Páramo’s knowledge, his in-depth study of the issues without forgetting nuances, his overarching strategy when dealing with problems, his clarity when explaining legal issues to people who are not so knowledgeable about them, and his calmness in moments of great tension.
