Restaurant owners appeal for rent support to ruling and opposition lawmakers April 29, 6:35
Restaurant owners, whose sales have fallen due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, directly appealed to the parliamentarians of the ruling and opposition parties about the plight of rent payments, and sought support as soon as possible.
Sales have fallen sharply among restaurants due to the refraining from going out due to the spread of infection and requests for leave, and many businesses are finding it difficult to pay monthly rent.
Under these circumstances, on the night of the 28th, six restaurant managers and six executives from the ruling and opposition parties exchanged opinions on support measures for businesses in Tokyo.
Among them, the management said, "I'm having a heavy burden of rent and labor costs. I don't want to just dismiss an employee, so I would like to ask for rent support." "I want you to support me."
In response to this, the party leaders said, "I want to dispel the anxiety about paying rent," and stated that they would support them with a sense of speed.
For businesses that have difficulty in paying rent, the LDP is considering measures that support a combination of loans and subsidies, while the five opposition parties have also submitted a bill to the Diet that includes delaying payment. .
