Before a possible resumption of activity at the Brittany Foundry, in Caudan (56), this Wednesday, February 5, 2025, a little of his future will perhaps be played this Tuesday in Paris. Luca de Meo, director general of Renault, is auditioned by the National Assembly Committee on the National Assembly. This meeting is important. He could see Renault return to his decision not to engage on the volumes while the foundry, engaged in a diversification of its production, still needs it. “They would help us get out of it,” says Maël Le Goff, secretary general CGT FDB. Should we believe it? “We are in a new phase. It can amend its position and access the requests of the territory and employees, ”says Jean-Michel Jacques, deputy of Hennebont (56).
Either they have values or it is money for money, but they clearly say.
Mobilized on this longtime file, it will be one of the speakers. “I am waiting for clarifications on Renault’s position in relation to the necessary industrialization of our country. He hopes, at least, a clear position. “The case of the Brittany foundry raises the question of Renault’s strategic vision. Is it a group without faith or a responsible group vis-à-vis the nation? It is a fundamental question. Either they have values, or it is money for money, but they say it clearly because when they need us, we will remember it. “
Over 100 founders in Paris
Tuesday, more than a hundred founders will make the trip. A little less numerous than in Rennes for the hearing before the commercial court but just as determined. They will go, at 11 am, in front of the siege of Renault, in Boulogne-Billancourt “to denounce what Renault has been subjected to us for four years already”. From hearing, the founders await “RENAULT’s clear answers on the absolute refusal to give the volumes which were to be assigned to us. We can’t understand why, ”notes Maël Le Goff.
“To land” the boss of Renault
Damien Girard, MP for Lorient, hopes to “land” the boss of Renault. He will be present in the morning, in front of the manufacturer’s headquarters, before being the voice of the ecological group during this hearing. “Renault has decided to leave to make its parts abroad and, by doing so, it prevents the diversification of the site which is underway. Renault leaves by doing a burnt earth policy. However, it was Renault who, a few years ago, asked to be the only customer of the Brittany foundry ”. He too hopes “to bring back (Renault) to his decision”.
