Macron Immigration Agreement

These two days, I received a New Year's greeting on WeChat, which was a series of articles about Ghosn's escape forwarded to me by a group of friends from all walks of life. Bloggers in Weibo who pay attention to food/beauty/funny/travel are also forwarding this message.

The last time I encountered such a spectacular scene, when Tesla released Cybertruck, basin friends from all fields broke the feeling of getting together and enjoying the miracle of mankind.

It is really amazing and bizarre that a suspect released on bail escaped the surveillance and inspection of Japanese customs. Coupled with the vivid reports of the Lebanese media, why did you invite a group of agents disguised as musicians to your home, smuggle Ghosn away with cello boxes, disguise themselves to avoid customs, and take a private jet with fake passports? ...

The whole thing can be filmed directly without hiring a clip, and the starring role is ready-made-it looks like Sir Atkinson, Mr. Bean of Ghosn.

This is probably the last role Sir Atkinson wants to play.

It's easy to say. Ghosn escaped from prison and Ghosn escaped from the Lord.

However, we should seriously discuss the cause and effect of Ghosn's escape and the possible consequences.

First of all, the "cello escape" is not based on any facts. Ghosn's wife also said in an interview that it was "fabricated". According to sources close to Ghosn, the escape plan was worked out within three months, organized and planned by Ghosn's wife and his brother.

The annual Christmas+New Year holiday is the most important holiday in Japan. In the meantime, it is indeed possible for government agencies to neglect supervision. However, a foreigner with such a characteristic can't leave smoothly under the eyes of the customs without the help of insiders. Sources close to Ghosn also said that Ghosn would not disclose the details of the prison break because "people who helped him in Japan can't be hurt."

Ghosn is currently living with his wife's relatives and will soon return to his mansion in Beirut. Anyway, there is no extradition agreement between Lebanon and Japan, and he doesn't have to worry about his own safety.

On February 3, 65438+Kloc-0, Ghosn released a statement to the outside world through his public relations team, saying that he was "no longer bound by the Japanese judicial system that assumed that he was guilty" and described the Japanese judicial system as "rampant discrimination, violation of basic human rights and contempt for international law". He also said that he fled not to escape justice, but to escape unfair treatment and political persecution.

As for why Ghosn suddenly fled instead of waiting for trial in Japan, apart from what he said, he has been treated unfairly. According to sources, it is probably because Japan obtained the latest evidence of Ghosn's violation from a Swiss bank and offshore centers including Dubai.

Ghosn turned 66 in March this year, and he has been suffering from chronic kidney disease. If he is sentenced by Japan, there is a high probability that he will not get out of prison alive, so it is too valuable to let him give up tens of millions of bail in exchange for a life-saving deal.

At present, the attitudes of all parties are very subtle, and the Japanese media are very angry. "Yomiuri Shimbun" said that running away is a coward's behavior, which means that he finally lost the opportunity to prove his innocence. Ghosn publicly ridiculed the Japanese judicial system. At the same time, the court, the lawyers' team and the immigration bureau also have responsibilities.

Ghosn's team of lawyers in Japan showed a "puzzled look" attitude, stressing that they were completely ignorant, and said that Ghosn's three passports were still in their hands, so it was not clear how he left the country.

Lebanon, on the other hand, is beaming. This war-torn country, whose economy is in a mess, has always regarded Ghosn as an example. After his accident, Japan trampled on him all his life, and France alienated him all his life. Only Lebanon has always publicly supported him, and the Lebanese ambassador to Japan visits Ghosn in detention every day.

The most embarrassing thing is the French government. Ghosn's wife also said last month that she hoped Ghosn with French nationality would be tried here. She also stressed that France is a country that defends the presumption of innocence and called on the French government not to forget Ghosn's contribution to Renault and the French economy.

It stands to reason that it is the duty of French President Macron to protect his citizens, and French policy does not support the extradition of his citizens to countries outside the EU, but it will certainly offend the Japanese, especially since the alliance between Renault and Nissan has just begun to recover. At this time, as the major shareholder of Renault, it is quite difficult for the French government to decide whether to safeguard the rights of citizen Ghosn or the interests of Renault and Nissan.

Nissan is on pins and needles. Since the Ghosn incident, Nissan's management team has been in turmoil, and now I am afraid more turmoil is still waiting. Because Ghosn was supposed to hold a press conference in April, he was suddenly arrested again. Fortunately, he recorded a video before, just in case something happened.

In this video, Ghosn said that several current Nissan executives have done dirty things out of selfish interests, selfishness and fear. As for the name, "you know", and then the publicly released video deleted the names of several executives, which obviously left a hand.

On October 8th, 65438/KLOC-0, Ghosn prepared to hold another press conference. At that time, the names of these people may not be a secret. As for what will happen to Ghosn, Nissan is out of control, which makes the whole thing even more confusing.

Anyway, Ghosn's escape is a gamble. This is a big deal, but how should Nissan and Renault respond?
