Deaf dialogue between the French public authorities and the Japanese tire manufacturer Bridgestone, which has decided to close its Béthune plant in the north of France. A region in shock after this announcement.

Liberation
, says that it is "
impossible, because of the material constraints

”, of the site.
Be careful, warns
Le Figaro
, the "
economic and social storm
" so dreaded in France has "
perhaps risen in Béthune

This daily notes first that this economic disaster "
owes nothing to the health crisis, but is part of the long process of disintegration of our industry
."
Le Figaro
then attacks Europe

Which, "
for years, has tolerated unfair competition, not respecting any of our social and environmental standards, with the result that we know
".
And this newspaper then denounces France which has "
systematically worsened
(its case)
by over-taxing the cost of labor and over-regulating it
".
And
Le Figaro

competitive, sovereign and intractable against the big competitors.
After years of bewilderment, we are finally starting to open our eyes.
But there is still a long way to go,

sleeping on a mattress on the floor in the same room
" as the father and mother of the family, "
using their bathroom in the early morning, then having breakfast

symbolic
