Syntagma Merchants Midnight Protest: What They Ask For



[ad_1]

Merchants in Syntagma Square are holding a protest rally today, Saturday night, at 00:00, after “filming.”

According to an announcement by the coordinator of the Circle of Restoration Professionals, merchants are asking the government:

1) Abolition of the horizontal measurement of time, with a parallel distinction of time restrictions with criteria KAD, m2. and combinations of interior and exterior spaces. The principle of proportionality is dramatically violated by this measure and forces people who are protected in our shops, who observe all health regulations and distances, to crowd into squares after 00.00.

2) Legislation that regulates the reduction of rents and prohibition of evictions with parallel deductions for the owners.

3) Full subsidy of insurance contributions and subsidy of salary costs by 50%, according to Italian and German regulations.

4) VAT 6% for all catering until May 2021.

5) Subsidy of 10% on the turnover of 2019 to small companies.

6) Reduction of all municipal taxes by 50%.

7) New regulation of 120 installments with zero interest rate.

8) Elimination of the performance fee.

9) In case of need to impose harsh restrictive measures (local closure), parallel subsidy of owners and employees.

10) Reduction of PPC rates with more fees in the regulations.

11) Protection of the 1st house.

12) Establishment of a Court of Justice throughout the Greek territory.

The above applications are proposed to be valid until May 2021.
