Prime Minister Markus Söder had to answer questions from entrepreneurs for an hour on TV.
The fears and frustration of those present became clear.
Munich
- The desperation among many entrepreneurs in Bavaria is great.
The two-month lockdown * - and in the case of culture and gastronomy for more than three months - not only pulls your nerves, but also your wallet.
Now retailers, hoteliers and cultural workers were given the opportunity to ask questions to Prime Minister Markus Söder * (CSU) in the BR program "Jetzt red i".
He promised a speedy recovery, but not for everyone and everywhere.
Corona easing in Bavaria: incomprehension about the preference of some branches of trade
From next week, flower shops and hardware stores will be allowed to unlock their doors again.
A slap in the face for the shoe retailer Axel Schöll from Schweinfurt (incidence: 13.1, RKI February 25, 3.10 a.m.): “He (Söder, editor's note) wants to treat grocer and hardware store equally and he shoots One thing is right on our minds. ”For Söder, however, the reason for the opening is obvious: These shops offer perishable goods.
The same reason was also given in the case of hardware stores, which otherwise would have to cordon off half of their shop space.
But are these stores safer than his shoe store? The retailer asked again.
However, the Prime Minister was unable to give an exhaustive answer and launched a counterattack.
"If there hadn't been an infection anywhere, there wouldn't have been a second corona wave *." The current state of research does not allow us to understand exactly where people were infected.
"School has long been considered safe, and that has also been refuted," replied Söder.
At least there was a perspective for the shoe retailer in the end.
At the Prime Minister's Conference next week there will also be talk of trade and “it looks relatively good for you in Schweinfurt”.
For his colleague in Tirschenreuth (incidence: 281.8), however, the situations are more difficult.
Corona in Bavaria: Söder guarantees help for companies
The situation is also problematic in the hotel and restaurant industry.
Many here are already dreaming of opening up for the Easter holidays.
The present hotel operator Hannes Lichtmannegger from the Berchtesgadener Land would also wish to open earlier rather than later.
Only, should a premature opening lead to a possible third wave, "I'd rather bite the bullet again so that I can at least unlock in summer".
He only appealed to Söder that the support money should flow, some colleagues would already go nuts.
His answer was: “We put extreme pressure on in Berlin.
Now we're putting pressure on in Bavaria. ”And regarding the opening perspective, he added:“ Better to slow down a bit, but for sure, instead of losing your nerve now. ”
The self-employed Tilman Schaich from Munich, whom Corona * made unemployed and who is afraid of not being able to pay his rent soon, was also in the studio.
He has been able to hour it so far, but has to pay it back by 2022.
Large companies like Daimler, on the other hand, would make millions in profits and receive state aid that they would not have to repay.
For the Munich resident incomprehensible.
In Berlin the decision was made to rely on such help, so Söder soberly.
Other concepts are currently not up for debate.
But he could also apply for help himself and "the law that you are not allowed to terminate your apartment because of Corona * has been extended again".
