Many companies are suffering from the corona lockdown.
A retailer from Söders home Franconia expresses his displeasure in a letter to the country manager.
Wunsiedel
- Due to the hard lockdown in mid-December, new infections with the corona virus * are falling in Germany.
At the same time, however, more and more retail stores, which have to remain closed, are also facing financial difficulties.
For example a Franconian shoe shop.
In a fire letter to Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder *, Peter Ludwig von Ludwig-Schuhe in Wunsiedel calls for explanations.
Sharp criticism of the corona lockdown: "Aldi and Lidl are allowed to do anything" - Norma also offers shoes
“As a shoe store, we have not been allowed to open since December 16!
Aldi, Lidl and the other discounters are allowed to sell everything! ”Writes Ludwig.
And that although he had a hygiene concept with an entrance control.
The entrepreneur cannot understand this: “There are a lot more people out and about in the big discounters,” he continues.
"Do you want all shops to close?"
Attached to the letter is a brochure from Norma.
From next Monday, there will also be various shoe models for sale in its branches.
That obviously upsets Ludwig, he finishes his letter in capital letters: "PLEASE EXPLAIN ME!"
Coronavirus: Extension of the lockdown is considered safe
The Wunsiedeler is not alone with his worries.
But so far there is no improvement in sight.
The number of cases has been falling steadily for several weeks.
It is certain that the lockdown, which will last until February 14, will be extended again *.
Above all, the various virus mutations * that are in circulation around the world are causing uncertainty.
Again and again politicians promise to support companies with financial aid *.
However, it often takes a long time for the aid to reach the company.
