Michelin-starred chef Michel Sarran in season 10 of Top Chef. - Marie Etchegoyen / M6

  • While the restaurant sector is hit hard by the coronavirus crisis, Michelin-starred chef Michel Sarran challenges Emmanuel Macron in a video.
  • He asked the head of state to abandon social security contributions in the tourism sector and put pressure on insurance to help professions in the sector.

A month ago, he left his stove "until further notice", forced like so many other restaurateurs to comply with government directives to limit the coronavirus pandemic. After participating in solidarity with the caregivers, by concocting them two-star dishes, the Toulouse chef Michel Sarran is today awaiting a sign from the executive.

Tuesday, the day after Emmanuel Macron's announcements, the media cook decided to speak and to speak directly to the President of the Republic. During his speech, he said that places that welcome the public, such as restaurants or bars, will not reopen on May 11.

What give cold sweats to the profession. “We have learned that tourism should wait a little while longer. How long ? We do not know. What measures would be taken? We do not know. Under what conditions will we resume, we still do not know, "says Michel Sarran in a video posted on social networks.

If Emmanuel Macron announced a specific plan for the sectors of tourism, hotel, catering or even events, their contours have yet to be defined.

Social security and insurance

But for the jury of the show Top Chef, it is necessary to have today "guarantees, because otherwise many houses will not reopen, many people will find themselves unemployed". Solemnly, the latter therefore asks the Head of State to "abandon the social charges" and to put "pressure so that the insurance companies react", as in Germany.

An intervention in the form of a cry from the heart, that Michel Sarran does not conclude with "Help us, we are counting on you!" "
