German Economy Minister Rainer Bruederle has called GM's behaviour "totally unacceptable" while North Rhine-Westphalia state premier Juergen Ruettgers said the move revealed "the ugly face of turbo-capitalism." Hendersen acknowledged that "we have some fence-mending and repair that needs to be done." Spiegel said that Reilly, who is British, brought with him Asian experience with GM's Chevrolet brand, which has increased sales in Europe as Opel has lost market share, calling the mooted nomination "a new provocation for Opel." Reilly is considered a specialist in restructuring, and could make life difficult for workers at European plants, the magazine added. Reilly, who has been based in Shanghai, also has experience at British Vauxhall plants in Luton and Ellesmere Port, two sites that welcomed the GM decision cautiously in hopes they might fare better than under Magna's ownership.
