INTERVIEW

The coronavirus crisis has taken a heavy toll on the auto industry. The Renault group will thus present its savings plan on Friday, May 29. According to information from Europe 1, the manufacturer will close at least three sites: Choisy-le-Roi, the Foundries of Brittany and the Dieppe factory, which produces the Alpine. Uncertainty remained regarding the future of the Flins site. Bruno Le Maire, guest of Europe 1 on Friday, raised it.

"Flins must not close. This is the position of the government and the State shareholder. We await the global proposals from the president of Renault. What seems important to us is knowing the long-term strategy of Renault. We need clear commitments. We need commitments on the alliance of electric batteries, which we have created with Peugeot, Toyota. "
