Likewise, he pointed out that with the expansion to a complete vaccination scheme as a requirement for admission to mass events, from next December 1, it increases concern in entrepreneurs before the possibility of a “black december”.

“The uncertainty in the face of a possible dry law on the weekend of December 4-6 has generated massive cancellation of reservations, corporate events and special activities that were projected for the most important weekend for the sector in December”.
Finally, the union highlighted that supports the mass vaccination process as the basis for economic reactivation, “which has allowed the sustainability of the business fabric and the recovery of more than 60,000 jobs and occupations“, but that he is concerned, in the future, that the license requirement will negatively impact the sector.
