On Monday, a hundred professionals, including many employees of the Henry Blanc group, specializing in the distribution of coffee to restaurant owners, demonstrated in Marseille.
They occupied a roundabout at the entrance to the A50.
“As a business leader, it is not in our DNA to demonstrate, but today it is imposed on us.
We want the suspension of this decree which was decided arbitrarily.
We work 95% with the food industry, so by ricochet effect, if they are closed, we do not work either ”, testified Jean-Luc Blanc, president of the group.
“Government announcements, I don't understand a thing anymore.
We have 80 employees who work in hotels and restaurants and not one who is positive for Covid-19.
It's unfair, ”he added.
The Prado Carénage tunnel was closed for part of the morning in both directions, the demonstrators want to set up a free toll operation.
