About fifty restaurateurs of the afternoon gathered under the Palazzo della Regione Lombardia to ask for the policy of complying with the sector, guaranteeing employment and not allowing the business to fail

“The curfew at 11 pm is death.” This is stated by some fifty Lombard restaurateurs who in the afternoon gathered under the Palazzo della Regione Lombardia to ask for the policy of complying with the sector, guaranteeing employment and not allowing the failure of activities during the Coronavirus emergency (ALL UPDATES IN LIVE – INFECTIONS MAPS AND GRAPHICS – THE SITUATION IN LOMBARDY AND MILAN).

One of the protesters was fined during the sit-in on May 6.

Also among the protesters is Paolo Polli, one of the protesters fined during the May 6 sit-in at the Arco della Pace. On Thursday night at 11pm, when the curfew should take place, he intends to go to protest with other colleagues at the Palazzo Marino and in the Lombardy region. “Closing at 11 at night and not at midnight does not make sense – declares Polli – it is just a way of not reimbursing restaurateurs, while they must patrol and control the nightlife, letting the economy go ahead.”

On October 22, protest in San Babila

Alfredo Zini from Al Tronco restaurant, coordinator of other events in the Ho.re.ca sector, instead made an appointment on Thursday, October 22 at 11.30 in Piazza San Babila, explaining that “if an ordinance is issued that prohibits going out , it is impossible for us to demonstrate at 23 “. Zini, along with his colleagues, presented the requests of the sector to the regional councilor Gianmarco Senna de la Lega, who reached out to the protesters under Palazzo Lombardia explaining that it is time to “reconcile the economic and health situation.”

“The curfew at 11 pm – says Zini – is devastating, at 10 pm we will have to lay off customers, essentially missing the 9:30 pm shift, with a further reduction in turnover. Already with the last one. Dpcm came a flurry of cancellations, we cannot put a family of eight living together at two different tables and now we fear that the 11 pm curfew will have an additional psychological deterrent effect. “
