Organized on neutral ground, the secret rendezvous was supposed to be the start of negotiations to find a solution to the trench warfare that has been opposing Veolia and Suez since the end of the summer.
The ace.
It kicked off an outbreak of hostilities never seen in this conflict.

A first for months.
Antoine Frérot, who bought in a few weeks, between the end of the summer and the beginning of last autumn, 29.9% of Suez in Engie, has since only one objective: to succeed in his takeover bid on the group led by Bertrand Camus.

The dialogue of the deaf takes place.
