They demand in particular "the opening of a discussion with the public authorities to have visibility on the reopening of establishments in satisfactory conditions of reception of the public".

They also ask to "be heard and respected like any other sector of the French economy. It is not serious to have information about the music festival a few days before it takes place ”. They also tackle a “minister who represents us (…) to absent subscribers”.

Stigmatized

"It is a whole section of the economy which is thus neglected, despised (and) thousands of jobs, direct and indirect, (which) are in danger in the very short term", add the signatories.

Finally, players in the “festive event sector” are enraged to see their field of activity “now stigmatized (…) already designated as responsible for a possible future second wave of the epidemic (…) while public transport is crowded "
