"

I am on your side, I want to talk to you eye to eye,

" said the minister without succeeding in calming the whistles and the protests of 1,200 demonstrators, according to the unions, 800 according to the police, who came to express their concerns.

Today, the commitments have not been satisfactory,

” she admitted to employees who believe that the government has let go of the diesel industry.

On March 5, the German automotive supplier announced that it would cut some 750 jobs by 2025 in its Aveyron plant which produces injectors for diesel engines.

The site would thus retain only 500 employees.

"

The proposed project is not sufficiently substantiated, not sufficiently credible,

" said the minister after meeting the management of Bosch and its CEO France, Heiko Carrie, in the presence of employee representatives.

According to Ms. Pannier-Runacher, the equipment manufacturer expressed "

several avenues of diversification

", the first by repatriating "

elements entrusted to other sites

", the second "

by making Rodez the mother plant for hydrogen processes for refrigerated trucks

”, or even by setting up“

an incubator for other manufacturers

”.

She affirmed her desire "

to go into commando mode

" by organizing a monthly follow-up of the reorganization of the plant in the Ruthenian suburbs, committing to return "

within three months

".

The Minister also participated in a second meeting bringing together the monitoring committee with the participation of local elected officials, in particular the president of the Occitanie Region Carole Delga and the mayor of Rodez, Christian Teyssèdre.

"

The meeting was very useful in setting a course,

" said the councilor, regretting, however, that the management of Bosch has not responded "

for three years

" to the diversification wishes wanted by local elected officials.
