Question 16991 — commerce and crafts

Summary

Mr. Arnaud Viala alerts the Minister of Action and Public Accounts about the economic situation of small businesses in rural communities. These businesses constitute the economic heart of our rural communities and have been hit hard by the economic and social situation of recent months. It is essential to protect them in order to preserve the life of small communities. The demonstrations and blockades linked to the Yellow Vest movement have hit the economic activity of these small businesses hard. Many of them have had to close temporarily or permanently. Each business closure is a tragedy in rural communities and this contributes to the difficulty in attracting these communities. Added to this are the ever heavier charges which are suffocating traders. The economic and social environment is currently threatening more and more businesses in rural communes, but this data does not seem to be taken into account by the Government which remains very quiet on this issue. Rural traders have been the most forgotten in recent months, but are suffering enormously and are seeing their activities disappear. He asks what measures the Government intends to take to protect these small businesses in the long term and to help them overcome this crisis.
