The mayor of Thionville (Moselle) informed France Bleu Lorraine Nord on Wednesday evening March 2 that he would oppose the installation planned within two months of a supermarket of the Russian brand Mere in his town, in because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The lease of the hard-discounter was however signed and the request for work filed.
“I will oppose for the moment the opening of this store in Thionville”, says Pierre Cuny on France Bleu. And he explains that at the time of the implementation project, several months ago, the situation was quite different: “Three or four months ago, who could have predicted that Putin was going to invade Ukraine and commit a crime against humanity?”.
The mayor of Thionville therefore decided to block the project: “I don’t want to be an extremist, we’ll see how things evolve. But today, I’ll say it again, this Russian brand has no place in Thionville”. A form of economic sanction, at the local level. “At some point, there are decisions to be made.continues the mayor of Thionville. We all have a conscience, all the same. And what is shown today on all televisions in the world – except in Russia! – is absolutely abominable. I call on everyone to revolt”says Pierre Cuny.
