The finance minister, who is concerned about France’s largest private employer, “is in his role to discuss the project”. “Where I found this form very embarrassing, the project was not submitted, and he said ‘no’, regretting the President of Medve in France Inter‌.

“That is to say, before accepting Couche-Tard owner Mr. Bouchard, the ‘I do not want this project’ operation was not given a chance,” Mr Rooks de Beziacs said.

Faced with the veto of the French government, the two groups abandoned their merger, but are now studying “operational partnerships”.

Jeffrey Rooks de Beziax also pointed to a “kind of imbalance” in the French government’s position, which “prevents” the merger between the two professionals in the physical distribution of threats from the competition of e-commerce giants.

“It simply came to our notice then […] There is a problem with Amazon, e-commerce. As you know, they are not completely equal in terms of taxes, ”the Medve leader pointed out.

“So if we block this operation, we need a trade plan at that point. To survive against these giants, we must trade, not just Carrefour, but competition, ”he pleaded.

CFDT Secretary-General Laurent Berger also opined that the Couche-Tard proposal should be discussed.

“I do not know Fan About the offer, but there was no discussion, the state ended it, I was surprised, “he told LCI.

The first French union leader argued that such a file was “something we still deserve to see and that we would not consider it just a few without asking employees what they think about it.”
