In response to Montebourg Announces Deal Between Goodyear and Titan to Save Union Jobs (One Problem – Goodyear Did Not Even Receive the Offer), one of several recent posts on Arnaud Montebourg, France’s Minister of Productive Recovery, reader “AC” who lives in France responded …
Hi Mish,
To understand Montebourg, take a look at some “Made in France” images.
Montebourg “advertises Made in France” while holding Moulinex blenders and wearing classical “marinière” shirts.
He is literally the object of tons of sarcastic comments and gags.
Once president Francois Hollande was elected, Hollande preferred having Montebourg within the government rather than outside, to avoid having him contest actions each and every day from the left.
When telecom operator Free was awarded the fourth mobile license in France and launched its very low cost service, Montebourg said that Free had done more for purchasing power of French people than all the actions of then president Nicolas Sarkozy.
But when Montebourg became Minister he started a very aggressive campaign against Free and its pricing, accusing them of destroying French jobs.
Best regards,
AC
