Question 18790 — commerce and crafts

Summary

Ms. Josiane Corneloup draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy and Finance to the catastrophic situation of artisans after the multiple demonstrations of the “yellow vests”. If we can rejoice in the latest figures from INSEE indicating GDP growth of 0.4% over the first two quarters of 2019 or CAC 40 profits of 88.5 billion euros, artisans and traders do not see the effects because they are directly affected by the demonstrations and damage organized every week. The consequences of the demonstrations are catastrophic for local artisans and traders, they all show losses in turnover of 20% to 50% depending on the geographical area. What is not returned to the tills on Saturday for months is definitely lost! There are craftsmen and traders who are closing their store, who can no longer pay their employees and who will not be able to pay their charges, even in the event of a spread. At present, they are unable to participate in the revival of the economy, it is urgent to restore confidence and relaunch a commercial dynamic, that of the economy of reality, of everyday life, which keeps the territories alive. Consequently, she asks him what arrangements will be put in place to to compensate artisans and local traders who were victims of thugs during the “yellow vest” demonstrations and who saw their turnover drop.
