After the cautious remarks of Jean Castex on the date of reopening of the restaurants, the professionals express their anger, five weeks before the scheduled date of January 20.

Pascal Mousset, president of the National Group of Independents of Île-de-France, denounces on Europe 1 a problematic governance on the part of the executive. 

Jean Castex, exceptional guest of Europe 1 Tuesday morning, showered the hopes of cafetiers, restaurateurs and other nightclub owners.

The Prime Minister told them that he could not guarantee them a reopening on January 20, because of the uncertainty about the evolution of the epidemic.

And if the interested parties suspected it a little, the words of the head of government are difficult to take.

On Europe 1, the president of the National Group of Independents (GNI) of Île-de-France, Pascal Mousset, deplores a measure that worsens the situation of closed traders.

"For us, it is an additional blow of the club," points out Pascal Mousset.

"We no longer even have a vocabulary ... We spoke of a coup de grace to the second confinement. There, it is a total disarray. We demonstrated yesterday (Monday, note) at the Invalides. The whole profession, coming from all regions , testified to say that we wanted to work and that we were essential. Today, everyone is at the bottom of the abyss, "says the professional, angry.

On Europe 1, the president of the GNI of Île-de-France points to the way in which the executive takes decisions on the health and economic crisis: "We would like to tell the Prime Minister that if he is capable five weeks before predicting the third wave is something of an admission of helplessness in the face of this epidemic.We are used to having decisions on the smallest of the week, there he warns us five weeks before we risk not reopening. This means that he does not have much hope for the behavior of the French during this holiday season. How does he propose to solve these problems? "

The burning issue of rents

Another question is burning today for restaurateurs, faced with a colossal drop in their turnover: "How to pay the rents? Currently, we receive registered letters from landlords asking us to pay the twelve months rent for 2020 where we were able to work only six months. And we are already told that we are not going to work again on January 20 ... ", laments Pascal Mousset.
