Primary Evidence

"In a brief note of barely five sheets, he recommends blowing up the Willot lock by putting the SFFAW into judicial liquidation. In this case, they will have nothing more to say, their companies will be sold to the highest bidder and the proceeds from the sale will be used to repay creditors. At the beginning of summer, the Willots panicked. They risk losing everything. They need to react without delay. The trick would be to find a third party, approved by the government, to whom they could sell part of their ownership rights. Someone who could achieve the consensus of the public authorities, bankers and unions in his name. So, in this month of July, the Willots consult."
