“It will not bring back the factory, it will not bring back what our boss destroyed in Cholet, Vannes and La Roche-sur-Yon, but I am happy that this money has returned to the pockets of the French”reacts Friday December 26 on France Inter Ludovic Robert, the CFDT delegate of the Michelin site in Cholet after the restitution to the State by the French tire manufacturer of the sum of 4.3 million euros.
This sum was received as a tax credit for a factory in La Roche-sur-Yon which Michelin then closed in 2020.
Michelin’s management had assured that the company would reimburse this sum following a parliamentary commission of inquiry which uncovered Michelin’s case last July.
She repeated it after the broadcast of the report Additional Investigation on the subject. For Ludovic Robert, “If there hadn’t been all this pressure, I don’t think Michelin would have given this money.” “What Michelin hates is being visible in the media when it doesn’t choose to be”assures the unionist.
“We cannot use or obtain money from the French and use it to go abroad”castigates Ludovic Robert. He calls for a new legislative framework on public aid to businesses. “If the Michelin affair manages to change this, it will be the greatest victory”he said.
