The hospitality industry reacted with dismay at the decree closing the restaurants. They understand that measures are necessary. But at the same time, relief measures are not in sight. Therefore, bankruptcies can hardly be avoided, tens of thousands of jobs will disappear.
Due to resistance from the “Council of Bourgeois States”, the industrial solution promised by the Federal Council will not exist, Gastrosuisse announced on Friday. “For countless restaurants this means the end,” President Casimir Platzer is quoted as saying. The crisis will take place at the cost of a single industry, but it will not be helped.
To cover only fixed costs, the restaurant industry needs up to 600 million Swiss francs a month. The decision means an economic damage of almost 2.5 billion Swiss francs for the hotel industry. Therefore, Gastrosuisse asks the Federal Council to work with the cantons to define rapid aid measures.
