Lhe Concertation Committee announced on Wednesday that the catering terraces will reopen on May 8, and not on May 1. The various federations in the sector have shown themselves to be disappointed and worried, and some mayors have announced that they will authorize the opening on May 1. On the RTL Info set, Alexander De Croo answers them and calls for calm.
“I think everyone should keep their cool, their sense of responsibility,” said the Prime Minister. The last thing you need is to have conflicts. Especially in such a difficult situation in our hospitals where the staff are working tirelessly ”.
“We are talking about eight days. I understand that for them, this is important, but the difference in 8 days is 500,000 more people who will be immune and who are vulnerable, justifies the Prime Minister. The last thing we want is to open and then say ‘We have to close’. Let’s do it right. We are going to enter into discussions with the sector on the terms of financial support, because there is a difference between businesses that have a terrace, and those that do not ”.
