Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin spoke out against to begin to give financial assistance in terms of holidays, declared because of the coronavirus, as it is unaffordable for the budgets of the regions.
“You know, there is also a debate about what we need immediately to pay all of the budget. It is also wrong. Budgets are cracked, they can’t even provide health care system and so on,” – reports RIA “Novosti” with reference to an interview with Sobyanin, “the First channel”.
“the business in this situation needs to show their social position. We do not say that six months is necessary to dissolve the vacations,” he said.He reminded that “we are talking about the month.”
“One month. I think most companies have enough resources to provide the part of people who are not working today. I repeat: it is not that big, really,” said the mayor. However, he added that those types of businesses, where most people stopped going to work, in need of priority support.
“I Must, of course, to say that this part is concentrated in the sectors of trade, services, hotel business. And, of course, these are sectors that need help in the first place,” said the mayor.
