“Alas no”, the discotheques will not reopen on January 6, announces Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne Minister Delegate in charge of Tourism, French people living abroad and the Francophonie and small and medium-sized enterprises on France Inter on Wednesday, December 29. Discos will be closed at least “three weeks from January 3”.
Nightclubs were closed in early December while “the situation was much better than the one we know today”, with an incidence rate of 730 and approximately 180,000 Omicron cases recorded Tuesday in France.

Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne “imagine the moral distress that can exist for these employees, these entrepreneurs, because it is a world that wants to give happiness, it is a world of celebration which is not at the party and which clinks glasses”, but he assures us that the executive is “at work to be able to find the right solutions to support them”.
He recalls that since December 20, “we have set up an aid system with 100% fixed costs, with partial activity, etc.”. After carrying out consultations on Tuesday, the deputy minister considers “these compensations should perhaps be supplemented” since the month of december counts “for 20% of annual turnover”. “This is what we are working on today with the professionals” of the night.
Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne wished to bring his “support in this ordeal” to those professionals who ask only “to work”, because “From the start, they have been serious. They have implemented protocols, they were the first to verify the identity of the holders of the health passes. And so that, we, do not forget. We will really be at their sides “.
