The Minister of Development, Adonis Georgiadis, characterized the call of the catering professionals for more support resources as “ingratitude”, against the background of the new measures of the government for the coronavirus. Mr. Georgiadis noted in his speech on OPEN TV that the restaurant sector received the most money compared to other sectors and pointed out that the grief of entrepreneurs should be directed towards the unvaccinated who “because of them the pandemic continues to exist.”
“To hear that we do not support catering, to hear with such intensity that catering also demands new money, is very unfair. At the meeting at the Maximos Palace, the representatives of the retail trade before the Prime Minister, expressed their great complaint that the restaurant took huge resources in relation to other sectors. The truth is that the restaurant received more than double the resources from any other industry in Greece. At one point or another, this whole thing starts to sound like ingratitude. Because the resources that went to them were taken away from retail, freelancers and other industries. “Mr. Kavathas should put this parameter in his public speech as well”, said the minister.
“We understand that they are upset about the measures. “But their grief should not be directed at the government that forced them to adopt them because of the pandemic, but at their unvaccinated fellow citizens who insist that there is a pandemic in Greece by not being vaccinated”, continued Mr. Georgiadis.
