"We have run out of patience," Franz told Deutschlandfunk radio, quoted by Reuters. "We have been calm so far, listened diligently and made comments, but that is over now. If nothing changes from General Motors' side by the end of this week, then we will be active, and there will definitely be spectacular measures from us," he said.
Opel's labor leader reaction is the most "violent" of those made by parties involved in the matter over the past few days. Kurt Beck, SPD premier of Rhineland-Palatinate, another Opel state, said the delay is "completely unacceptable", while Roland Koch, conservative state premier of Hesse, where Opel is based, added that he is "extremely annoyed."
Germany's chancellor Angela Merkel however tried to keep a more "professional" stance and did not attack GM. The German official too expressed her hopes in a resolution sometimes this week.
"I regret that a final decision wasn't made, but I hope it will happen soon, because both for the workers and the economic situation at Opel, we urgently need a decision, I think we've moved things along well ... and that we're not far from the end, and hopefully we'll be at the end soon."
So far, GM have kept to themselves and have not issued any statements or remarks.
