CORFU. A symbolic gesture from businesses in Gilford St. to express the worries and concerns of catering businesses regarding ΄the next day΄.
Gilford St. was filled with 'empty chairs' on Tuesday (5/5) morning as a symbolic protest from catering businesses expressing their worries and concerns regarding the 'next day'.
There demands were displayed in a graphic way - on each of the empty chairs in the street.
It is the hope of everyone that in the 'post-lockdown period' these chairs won't remain empty and will be occupied not with demands but with customers - giving the local economy the boost it so needs.
Free tests for all catering workers.
Rent reduction.
Tables and chairs to extend to adjoining public areas with agreement from residents.
Exemption from public area tax.
Extension of benefits for all staff that were suspended in April.
Exemption from Municipal taxes.
Free masks, gloves and antiseptic for catering establishments.
50% reduction in insurance contributions.
Reduction in VAT to 6% for food and 13% for coffee.
