The owners of cafes in Wallonia and Brussels, closed since March 13 as part of the measures taken to fight the coronavirus pandemic, are today “in the most complete fog, completely deprived of any income” since this date, denounces Saturday the Federation of Belgian coffees (FedCaf).
It announces that it has decided to take legal action alongside its members in order to allow them to benefit from the measures essential to the pursuit of their activities. “In Flanders, the decree ‘granting aid to companies which must be closed following the coronavirus measures taken by the National Security Council from March 12, 2020’ helps to shed more light on discrimination created by the provisions adopted in the Walloon and Brussels-Capital Region “, denounces the FedCaf.
This decree indeed provides for the granting of a lump sum increased by a premium of 160 euros per day taking into account the duration of closure, advance the federation which underlines that “the discriminatory character of the compensation as decided in Region of Brussels-Capital and Walloon Region appears with even more force “.
