They "tossed us tomatoes": Safran's boss no longer wants to invest in cities run by ecologists

Safran's boss, Olivier Andries, said that he no longer wanted to "invest in a city that is owned by an ecological majority", after he felt that he had been badly received by the Rennais ecologists during the negotiations for his plant project in La Janais. A statement that asks questions: is it the result of a break with the Rennes elected officials, a political tacle or an economic strategy?

Published on the occasion of a commission of inquiry of the National Assembly, the boss of Safran, Olivier Andries, regretted the political crisis caused by the arrival of one of his factories near Rennes. He therefore no longer wants to invest in an ecological municipality.

More than a year after being strongly challenged by environmental activists in Rennes, Safran's CEO, Olivier Andries, said that the group was now abandoning its presence in municipalities run by environmentalists.

Olivier Andries keeps in the throat the reaction of the elected economists to the establishment of an industrial site in the Breton city in February 2024. "Every time we have a choice of location, I will ban an offer made by a city owned by an ecologist majority," he declared.

Olivier Andries was questioned on Monday by a committee of inquiry of the National Assembly on the obstacles to the reindustrialization of France. He experienced a disappointment in Rennes last year.
