The economic policy spokesman for the CDU parliamentary group, Götz Wiese, complained that many companies were not receiving Corona aid despite all the assurances.

“The federal government and the Senate must continue to work to ensure that the aid is paid out quickly.

The tax offices, where the data is already available, should also be more closely involved. "
