Restaurateurs and bar managers have returned to protest against the government, in Milan, for the economic crisis that hit them with the health emergency and to ask for clear rules on the reopening. About fifty merchants, representing 2 thousand businesses, protested the Arco della Pace by placing dozens and dozens of empty chairs on the ground to symbolize their premises that still cannot accommodate people.

"We have revenues reduced by 70% and we risk not reopening anymore - said the restaurateur Alfredo Zini who is the spokesman for the protest -. It is not enough to say that at the reopening we will have to use Plexiglas to divide the tables, we want clear rules because we live in conviviality ". Many bars and restaurants in Milan are shared with delivery or takeaway "but they are above all family businesses that have no employees to pay - he added - with those revenues you cannot make a company stand and then a customer can enter at a time. So we can pay a few monthly users or someone pays the layoffs to employees since it hasn't arrived yet. "
