Le Maire also told Europe 1 radio that Renault’s French plant in Flins must not close and that the French carmaker should be able to keep as many jobs as possible in France, but should also remain competitive.

“Yes, Renault could disappear,” said Le Maire.

He added that, nevertheless, Renault chairman Jean-Dominique Senard was nevertheless working hard on a new strategy plan, and that Senard had the support of the French government.

Le Maire also told Le Figaro paper that he had not yet signed off on a 5 billion euros ($5.5 billion) loan for Renault, and that discussions were continuing.
