According to Naiz, representatives of the French Government met with different agents from Ipar Euskal Herria on Thursday. Subsequently, the Secretary of State of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, Agnès Pannier and Runacher, made the grants known. The state administration thus intends to respond to the economic losses caused by the G7 summit to companies due to a lack of customers. According to the Government, as well as the economic losses that have occurred as a result of the collapse of the counter-attack.

Businesses have a deadline until Thursday to submit their requests. The first aid is aimed at “companies with great difficulties and time”. Later on, all other companies will be eligible for aid.

“Open, open, expand!”

During the summer, many companies on the coast of Lapurdi announced their intention to close businesses to the top. Especially those in Biarritz, but also those in Hendaia, Urruña or Baiona. The militarization announced by the Macron Government and the travel bans in Haiti meant that passengers could not have customers. With the aim of symbolising normality and distorting criticism, the French Government and several associations and policy makers in Lapurdi promoted the opening of shops. In the event of a loss, the Government promised financial aid to businesses that remained open. Some trade associations and mayors directly called on traders not to close their businesses. The Mayor of Biarritz, Michel Veunac, has highlighted the work carried out in this work. - Open it, open it, open it! - he repeated the week before the summit, in the presence of the EiTB chambers, addressing the merchants of the town.

The days of the summit met traders' worst predictions. Many companies closed their businesses and, year after year, many of the cities, towns, beaches and streets filled with people became empty or semi-derruined.
