The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats (ALDE) is claiming that not allowing restaurants to re-open from coronavirus lockdown on June 15 sets thousands of companies in the hospitality industry to a "sure path to bankruptcy," adding that the National Institute of Statistics has confirmed the "crisis" in the HORECA sector.
According to ALDE, "the disaster in the economy, but especially in the HORECA industry, is as clear as they come, and is confirmed by the National Institute of Statistics."
"Even if the rulers do not like to talk about these things and put them to 'other things,' Romanians must know the truth! And the truth is this: the turnover of the market services provided to the population decreased in volume this April compared to the previous month by 72.8% as a result of decreases in the activities of tourist agencies and tour operators (-79.8%), hotels and restaurants (-63.2%). Compared with April last year, the market services provided to the population in April 2020 reported a turnover that was 83.4% down from April 2019, as a result of decreases in the activities of travel agencies and tour operators (-88.9%), and of hotels and restaurants (-77.9%)," says ALDE.
