“The politicians should now actually know that it is not possible to close the factories at such short notice.” On Friday they learned that they had to close on Monday.

Many restaurateurs are still struggling with the effects of the last three lockdowns. The question of rents from the previous year, some of which are still open, is still unclear, for example. “Many of them probably didn’t dare not pay their rent,” said Psichos. Hundreds of thousands of euros probably flowed in that shouldn’t have flowed at all.
