Bruno Orlando, 75, cap and denim jacket, took the microphone the first in the auditorium, Thursday July 28. “I hope that the taxman will naked the former director and his white collar thug,” launches the former sommelier, targeting, without quoting it, Yves Le Masne, designated, in the book by Victor Castanet, published in January , The gravediggers (Fayard, 400 pages, 22.90 euros), as one of the main brains of the “system” of cost optimization developed by the company. The Masne was removed from his duties in January. The Annual General Assembly of Orpea on Thursday voted against the payment of the slightest starting allowance.

m. Orlando explains that he wanted to pour “a little” of his “rage”, after having seen his ten orpea shares pass from 88 euros to less than 25 euros each in six months. “The course will take a certain time to go up, he fears. How do you want them to go from the precipice to the mountains in a few months?” At Orpea, the small carriers hold 40 % of the 64 million of Actions. Their voice counts. “Confidence is broken”, testifies Patrick Raison, secretary general of the National Association of shareholders of France.

At the group’s annual general assembly, in the 17 e arrondissement of Paris, they were less than a hundred. Michel Tiphineau, 75, did not only complain about the drop in the course of his 150 shares. In “convinced in an establishment of the house”, a Clinea clinic, owned by the Orpea group, he was able to deplore that “at the level of the bowl, it was more than Riquiqui”. This did not lead him to get rid of his titles. “We are going to need more and more health establishments and nursing homes, he says. The market is there.”

tumble

Denis Tarery, 82, came out of the general assembly with “a rather positive vision”. “I am convinced that the measures they are going to take will straighten Orpea,” says this 190 actions holder. However, he says he is embarrassed by the methods of “raptor” which he recently discovered within society. “This is an area where you could think that there was more than a certain ethics,” he said, sighing. Conversely, Philippe Supplissan is disappointed: “We attended a big stroke of well -oiled”, judges this shareholder who lost 50,000 euros because of the tumble of his actions.

Before the end of the general assembly, a solitary silhouette came out the first from the auditorium: a 89 -year -old Parisian who wishes to remain anonymous. “Apparently, there are embezzlement, I think it’s not over yet,” said the old gentleman, drinking a glass of water. What I heard in Reunion has not inspired me. “In a hurry to go home, he takes the time to add that no, he will never go to an orpea Ehpad because” it seems to be a disaster “.
