Citizen Vitor Sapolnik, owner of Caffe Latte in São Paulo, together with chef Janaína Rueda, from Bar da Dona Onça, proposed the online undersigned asking the bar and restaurant sector for help! And reinforce that 6 million jobs are at risk.
With the coronavirus pandemic, businesses have closed their doors since March 20. But they still need to pay taxes, rent, suppliers, etc. In the midst of this crisis, working capital has run out. And banking options with high requirements and market interest rates proved difficult for small businesses.
The authors emphasize that they need low-interest credit, with a grace period, for long periods, backed by a government guarantee fund, extension of MP 936 to help with employee salaries and suspension during the IPTU crisis and the collection of concessionaires ( water, energy and gas).
The campaign created hashtags that circulated on social media #NãoDeixeFecharAConta #SOSBaresERestaurantes #ComidaDeResistência and despite more than 80 thousand signatures, PL 973 of 2021 that serves the sector was not voted on.
