The parties reduce their rhetoric, sometimes harsh, against the Federal Council. Those directly affected are plagued by existential fears.
The Federal Council makes Corona a top priority again. The reactions are no longer as violent as they were on Tuesday, at least in politics.
SP supports the Federal Council
The SP supports the measures. They correspond to the demand of the SP to take the reins, but leave a door open to regional differences. Health protection is the best way to prevent a lasting economic and social crisis.

You have to stay away from talking about difficult cases. Switzerland needs a system to compensate for lost revenue, said SP Co-Chairman Cédric Wermuth.

The population and the economy would only accept the new measures if they were accompanied by prompt, non-bureaucratic and generous economic support, according to the SP.
Pfister: “Low point” in the crown crisis
The Federal Council measures are necessary for the health system, the economy and society to cope with the crisis, explains CVP.
It welcomes the fact that the additional measures take into account the different starting points in the cantons. The debate that broke out over the course of the week is unworthy of Switzerland: “Everyone against everyone and everyone just for himself,” the CVP criticized the actors.
Legend:
According to the chairman of the CVP party, Gerhard Pfister, a low point has been reached in overcoming the crisis, which we must now overcome together.

Parliamentary group senior vice president Thomas Aeschi believes it is positive that stripping does not have to be shut down completely. “But it is a massive intervention when restaurants have to close at 7 pm We will see thousands of bankruptcies in the coming months.”
Indignant gastro
The Federal Council was suffocating the restaurant industry. The closing time at 7 pm equates to a general closure and is a “death in installments” for many companies, said President Casimir Platzer.

There is no evidence of any infection in restaurants, Platzer continues. The catering industry simply has to serve the token policy of the federal government.

The Federal Council in no way appreciates the great efforts made by the industry to ensure safe operation, Platzer said. After a few days, it was already “reversing” the tightening decisions made by some cantons earlier in the week. The procedure was random and implausible, “a complete chaos between the cantonal and federal guidelines.”
Bar operator: Fear of a clear advertisement
The Zurich Bar & Club Commission (BCK) complained that politicians missed out on making a clear announcement to shut down bar operations and compensate them for it like in Germany.
Despite all the understanding of the federal government, the “setbacks between the federal government and the cantons” are causing more and more astonishment. Here a political power struggle is waged behind the backs of the companies.

The Federal Council also provides exceptions to the strict curfew regime: cantons in which the virus is less violent can postpone the curfew until 11 p.m.

Stores need to limit themselves too, amid the busy holiday season. This year there are no sales on Sundays before Christmas, which is drawing criticism from the cantonal directors of economics. Its president, Basel SP Economic Director Christoph Brutschin, emphasizes: “Capacities should not be reduced, but increased so that people do not stand up.”
Existential fears in business
The City-Vereinigung Zürich accepts the Federal Council’s decision to close the shops early “with some misunderstanding”. President Milan Prenosil hopes this will at least avoid a lockdown. “Many retailers fear for their survival.”
Legend:
The Swiss Federation of Retailers writes that the ban on Sunday sales is incomprehensible and demands compensation.

For the Association of SMEs and Commerce (KGV), the measures “are not acceptable”. Gastronomy, retail, and small businesses would be hit harder than average. A gastronomic curfew starting at 7 pm is equivalent to a professional ban and a lockdown.
