Amazon is not, however, the first responsible for the difficulties of a company like Printemps, which decided on Tuesday to close seven stores in France, first victims of the disappearance of the tourist clientele after being weakened by the strikes. and Saturdays of yellow vests.

Nor is it for nothing in the Kafkaesque situation in which our supermarkets are plunged since the government, for the sake of fairness with small businesses, decided to condemn their shelves.
