What croissant chaos last weekend! Gas station stores were closed, as were many bakeries. Others sold fresh croissants. They took the position that they were a takeout. And they should be open despite the stricter measures the Federal Council decided on Friday. The police even closed other bakeries. They were only allowed to give away their goods.
Consequently, the bakers are still angry. Unfortunately there is still no solution. We remain in close contact with the FOPH, ”says the Association of Swiss Bakers and Confectioners. Does it take time? Is that decision really so complex in times of the country’s greatest health crisis? Some clients wonder that. On Friday you should know what will apply for the next weekend. So will there be croissant chaos again next Sunday?
Thick air between bakers and Berset
The chances are good. Because between the Minister of Health, Alain Berset (48) and the bakers’ union, there is thick air. Berset has accused the association of calling its members to civil disobedience. That comment was not well received! “We are not asking for civil disobedience!” Says director Urs Wellauer. «This accusation is unfounded. We reject it vehemently! “
The Federal Council decided last Friday that cafeterias and takeaway stores may be open on Sundays and holidays. “In response to our question after the press conference, the Federal Office of Public Health confirmed the option to sell it as to go,” says Wellauer.
It was precisely this recommendation that the association transmitted to its members in the newsletter on Friday and this is how the bakery and pastry industry behaved. “The fact is that the situation is diffuse and creates great uncertainty among our members,” says Wellauer.
“Confusing situation”
The bakers demand that this “confusing situation, which consists of a wild potpurri of federal and cantonal interpretations, be resolved quickly.” Bakeries were unclear on what they were allowed to sell on Sunday and what was not. “The situation is not yet clear,” says Wellauer.
