Video interview: Arnaud Montebourg enjoys relaunching nuclear power “made in

At the head of “Bleu Blanc Ruche”, champion of “Made in ”, Arnaud Montebourg broke through the screen, at the MIF in . With verve he defends bees, beekeepers and his honey. But he doesn't just do that. In a video interview he welcomes the relaunch of nuclear power. He speaks with enthusiasm about Framatome, its CEO Bernard Fontana, Saône-et-, , Saint-Marcel.

“He is so strong that he would sell his mother. Except he loves it too much to sell it!” The reflection comes from a faithful person who has known Arnaud Montebourg since he entered politics. He was Member of Parliament for Saône-et-Loire, elected in Bresse; President of the General Council of Saône-et-Loire; And Minister of François Hollande. A Minister whose head was Manuel Valls, then Prime Minister, having had little taste of the “Productive Recovery” vintage from Montebourg, unveiled at the Rose Festival, in Frangy en Bresse.
Today Arnaud Montebourg is a multi-card business leader… Honey of course, but also ice cream, almonds… Always and again with “Made in France” carried as a standard.

Although he never misses an opportunity to say that he is retired from politics, it is never far away. He follows politics very carefully and is concerned about the industrial future of France.

10 years ahead…

Not without pleasure, he is openly pleased to see that nuclear power is no longer contested today, whereas he had come under fire when, in August 2012, after the PS Summer University , in , he affirmed that nuclear power was a sector, an energy of the future.
What Emmanuel Macron, then Minister, then President of the Republic, took over, without Arnaud Montebourg requesting a copyright!
“Made in France”, with a photo for Le Parisien for whom he posed with a sailor top in October 2012… “Nuclear energy for the future”… “Productive recovery”… A decade gone, the facts prove the former Minister right , who his friends say was too often right too soon!

“Nuclear is indeed a sector of the future”

In the interview he gave to creusot-infos at MIF, the Made in France Show, Arnaud Montebourg obviously talks about bees, the importance of beekeepers who must be supported… But he deliberately also talks about nuclear power. With clear-cut remarks.
He talks about the nuclear political winter “where everyone was banging on about nuclear power”…And he insists: “Nuclear power is indeed a sector of the future. This is the means by which we will bring the energy crisis under control. We are going to control the climate crisis thanks to nuclear power, because it is the tool through which we decarbonize our electricity uses. When I said that 12 years ago, everyone fell for me, but who was right… You should never be right too early, it's very bad in politics. The proof is that I now sell honey!”

France ? “I wish him a quick recovery”

Concerning Framatome and its CEO Bernard Fontana, Arnaud Montebourg is complimentary: “I admire this business manager. It put Framatome back into an absolutely exceptional orbit. And Framatome, which is reinvesting in Saône et Loire, Saint-Marcel and Le Creusot, is a real industrial company, which knows how to respect its subcontractors.
France ? “I wish it a quick recovery, because it is sinking economically. Industrially it is struggling. On the agricultural level it is very difficult. I am for the unity of the French, around their productive apparatus. Everyone”. Like a program!
