Renault workers do not want to collect drones for Ukraine: why protests indicate the influence of the Russian Federation

To spread: Renault workers were tasked with drawing drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and they instead began to turn to trade unions and be interested in whether they could refuse this work. They governing such protests by trade unions related to the pro -Russian forces of France. The French car concern Renault plans to start the production of drones for Ukraine. However, some of the factory staff expressed a reluctance to produce "weapons" for Ukraine.

About it writes the French edition of BFM Business with reference to the words of one of the company managers and representatives of trade unions. Recently, the Ministry of Defense of the country has requested a concern for the introduction of drone production for Ukraine, the article reads. Not all employees liked this idea. In particular, the General Confederation (Confédédération Générale Du Travail or CGT) reported that workers were interested in whether they could give up such a task.

"Many employees have contacted us and say that they agreed to produce cars, not weapons. Some people already want to know if they can give up such a mission," the union representative said. The publication notes that the topic of weapons for the concern workers is delicate, since many foreigners work there, in particular, Russians and Ukrainians, and a request to produce drones that go directly to the center of the conflict between the two countries, may alleged tensions.

There is also fears that Renault will be the target of more cruel cyberattacks. Meanwhile, the media reminded that Renault was not the first time the defensive sector helps in tensions. For example, during the First World War, the company produced shells. When the issue of the Russo-Ukrainian War appears, it is noted that France does not participate in it. "Unless the war waged the war at that time," the union official complains.

BFM Business writes that dissatisfaction with the French concern Renault with the production of drones for Ukraine raises a serious issue about the Russian influence on the trade unions of the country. The Defense Express portal, in turn, reminded that the union is connected with the pro-Russian left party La France Insumise (LFI), whose face is Jean-Luke Melanashon. There is also a mention that Renault has been exposed to the Russian Federation.

For example, in 1939, when the government asked to produce more shells because of the threat of war with the Third Reich, Russian communists who sabotaged the process operated here. Recall that for the Armed Forces officially codified a line of fiber -optic unmanned aviation complexes (BPAK) "Predator Reboff". These FPVs are resistant to the HRS due to the use of bulk coils with a length of 10 to 20 km, which makes them particularly in demand in the conditions of saturated CIT.
