But 10, 15 years ago, we could also imagine that PSA would disappear, as many national manufacturers have disappeared, see that Renault disappeared 20 years ago. So today, we have two groups which, by allying themselves, flirt with the best in the world, it is all the same rather an industrial success , “he believes.
