Censorship by the Barnier government: restaurant vouchers will no longer allow you to do your shopping from January 1
Censorship by the Barnier government: restaurant vouchers will no longer allow you to do your shopping from January 1
(France 2)
If no government is named by the end of December, the extension of the possibility of shopping with restaurant vouchers will not be able to be voted on in time. The titles would then become usable again only on immediately consumable products.
Using your restaurant vouchers to eat at lunch, while shopping at the supermarket, is a practice that has become common over the past two years for many French people. But carrying out complete shopping trips with meal vouchers is a practice which could disappear from next January 1st.
Because to extend this operation, the text must be voted on by deputies and senators in the presence of a minister. All this, in record time, before December 31. A difficult procedure in the absence of government. “We would return to the old days (…) you will no longer be able to buy flour, rice, dry pasta”explains Romain Vidal, representative of the college of restaurateurs and the like (CNTR).
A file on fire for the future executive. In France, more than 5 million employees benefit from meal vouchers.
