Milan, November 2 2021 – "I join the words of the mayor Giuseppe Sala in expressing closeness to the world of commerce and I support the appeal of Confcommercio which is acting as a spokesperson for the exasperation and fatigue of many businesses in the city center. The data collected in recent weeks speaks of at least 10 million euros in turnover lost due to the demonstrations. Data that is infuriating when you think about how difficult it was for many shops to overcome the crisis due to the pandemic and resist waiting for the situation to normalize. I am and will remain. in constant contact with the city leaders of Confcommercio. We are just a few weeks away from Christmas, a unique and unrepeatable moment for consumption. It is unthinkable to deprive trade of this important opportunity for recovery."

This was declared by the councilor for Economic Development and Labor Policies Alessia Cappello.
