The restaurant industry carried out a “cacerolazo” and a call to the authorities to be considered as essential businesses under the slogan “We open or we die”.

Faced with this situation and the restaurant owners’ request to have a clear opening date, the government installed a work table to reach an agreement with them.

This Monday, January 11, the first dialogue was held and it is expected that on January 13 a possible date will be defined for the reopening of these businesses.

In the information card of the Government Secretariat of Mexico City , the authorities specified that this industry will not pay the Payroll Tax (ISN), an amount that adds up to 20 million pesos.

For his part, Fadlala Akabani Hneide, head of the Ministry of Economic Development, said that the gradual reopening of the restaurants will be a joint effort and emphasized that reducing infections and hospitalizations is everyone’s job.

He also commented that they will install the work tables that are necessary to reach an agreement.
