Gastronomers urge to be given part of the penalties for violating the measures

Gastronomers demand to be given a share of the penalties for violations of the measures, say they are in serious economic condition.

Gastronomous representative Petrit Klokoqi has demanded that a portion of the fines pronounced for violating the rules against pandemic be pardoned, saying they are in a difficult economic situation.

Some 3.3 million have been set aside for gastronomy, and to date we have received sentences of over 6m euros. Which means we can't even subscientize. Stopting hands for sentences and part of the sentences because we are in serious economic condition”, he said.

Klokoqi has said that already increased numbers of people infected with COVID-19 are not their fault, but of election campaigns held for the February 14th parliamentary elections.
