the boss of Medef judges Jean-Luc Mélenchon “ready to govern” but is worried about a “generalized interventionism”

If he agreed to come and debate with Jean-Luc Mélenchon, it is because he takes it “seriously” and the “think ready to rule”. The president of Medef, Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux, analyzed, Thursday, February 10, on France 2, the economic program of the candidate of France insubordinate to the presidential one. If he wins, “It’s not going to be chaos as some say”, believes the head of the main employers’ union. According to him, however, business leaders will “wait” the passing of the “storm”, “stop hiring, stop investing” and the situation will benefit “German and Italian industrialists”.

“What you want to do is neither more nor less than a generalized interventionism on the company, then launched the boss of Medef. You are going to force us to raise salaries, to work for the public order, but entrepreneurs are free citizens and they will do it if they want to. They are not obliged to work, to invest, to hire. You will not succeed in your future five-year term without companies.”

In response, Jean-Luc Mélenchon said he thinks “opposite”. According to him, the massive efforts he plans to develop public procurement will fill the order book of companies, “first” concern of leaders. “When a boss has a full order book, he does the right thing.”
