This Thursday, it is from the other side of the linguistic border that the critics arrive. This time, it is from Michael Freilich, N-VA deputy and member of the Mobility, Public Enterprises and Federal Institutions committee. “Why does the government continue, despite the persistent unease, to trust Guillaume Boutin, whose mandate was extended for six years last July? Instead of putting pressure on, we are giving him carte blanche,” he said, also reacting to the group’s stock market results which continue to fall.
A direct attack on the CEO which will put a little more pressure on his future at the head of the group.
For his part, Guillaume Boutin defended his mandate. Via a LinkedIn post, he claims to have spoken with the president of the MR and discussed “of the long-term industrial vision for Proximus and the impact of our investments on the economic competitiveness of the country.”
“Investing more means less cash flow in the short term, which impacts our share price. But above all it is a lever for creating long-term value and ensuring the future of Proximus”he commented in particular. Before adding: “It is true that the modification of the structure of our market and our investments in infrastructure weigh on the stock price. But our strategy will allow us to reduce the gap between our intrinsic value and our market value. I am convinced of it.”
