A similar situation also occurred in Renault, Markron has criticized Renault - Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn's salary, and in 2015 as the Minister of Economy, the French government proposed the company's shares from 15% to Nearly 20%.

Mark Long's rival, France's right-wing party "National Front" candidate, Marina Le Pen's "policy agenda" sparked concerns about the French car group, including Renault and PSA, Off the European "supporters, anti-globalization supporters of the label, for the automotive industry in this global, is undoubtedly a major obstacle.
 
Not only that, Le Pen also advocated the French centralism, will enhance the import tariffs, and called the entity industry to return to France. Le Pen also praised Ford for canceling its new plant in Mexico and expressed its approval of US President Trump. If Le Pen was elected, would it be possible to influence Renault's plant in Algeria. Because of this, there are foreign commented: Mark Long won the new French president, let Renault and PSA in the next 5 years to be at ease.
 
Public information shows that Mark Long in December 1977 was born in the northern French city of Ami a middle class family. After the French left-wing socialist Hollande became French president in 2012, Mark Long was appointed Deputy Secretary-General of the Presidential Office. In August 2014, the French government reorganized, when 36-year-old Mark Long as the French economy minister.
 
Mark Long praised the economic globalization and supported the development of the EU, actively seeking to strengthen the relationship between France and the EU, and to relax the country's strict workers protection regulations. Some analysts say these policies can help Reynolds and PSA reduce costs and achieve productivity gains.
 
But there is no doubt that the French economy is still showing a decline, the unemployment rate has been as high as 10% for many years, while last year's GDP growth rate of only 1.4%, behind the EU's average development.
 
As a former Minister of Economy of the outgoing President Hollande, Markron launched a series of economic reforms in 2015, known as the "Mark Dragon Law", which led to intense opposition and strong resistance from trade unions within the Socialist Party , While the free market advocates say "reform is not deep enough."
 
Not only that, Mark Long and the automotive industry is also quite a source, because Renault and PSA are currently the French government shares, Mark Long in the economic minister, also repeatedly on the two companies to make a statement.
 
There are comments that Markron will support PSA CEO Carlos Tavares will Opel / Vauxhall and Peugeot and Citroen brand integration initiatives to maximize the efficiency of labor and bring the scale of PSA benefit. But Tavares doubled his salary in 2015 to 5.2 million euros, Mark Long described it as "excessive", although he pointed out that Tavares is a good manager.
 
A similar situation also occurred in Renault, Markron has criticized Renault - Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn's salary, and in 2015 as the Minister of Economy, the French government proposed the company's shares from 15% to Nearly 20%. This move also sparked a strong opposition from Carlos Ghosn.
 
"The French have strong and centralized control in some industries (including cars), but it has not yet fully exploited its strength," said Daniel Gross, director of the European Policy Research Center in Brussels. "Labor law, tax burden is the return of French industry The two key issues. "

But it is worth mentioning that Mark Long is not blindly stressed that the state control business, he also proposed to sell some of the shares of the French state-owned listed companies, to finance innovation programs. But some European information agencies said that Markron will make it clear, not sure.
 
"The key is that he does not have much conflict with the union," he said. "If he can do that, it's going to be that it's going to be Like Germany, increasing the flexibility and cooperation with the trade unions is a great benefit to the industry. "
 
At present, Le Pen's extreme words and deeds have sparked concerns about immigration, terrorism and globalization, sparking a British vote to withdraw from the EU and the election of US President Trump. But it remains to be seen whether Markron's appointment can take his policy of liberalism, globalization, tax cuts and labor efficiency.
