That is why Gugger now wants to work with Gastrosuisse to find a sustainable solution for business tenants.

Corona will also play a role in other business of the special session: For example, the temporary Covid-19 Solidarity Guarantee Ordinance is to be transferred into ordinary law. It was decided to give SMEs quick access to bank credit. Since the repayment of the loans will take many years to complete, a federal law is necessary for the processing of the loans and guarantees.
