Financial aid scandal: EU to lift cap, Germany not

Berlin. The lockdown has been extended again, the aid is still not arriving, the ministers are promising something new again. Everyone is frustrated. Hoteliers and restaurateurs are protesting for a perspective, knowing full well that an opening around Easter could drive the virus up again. But they have had enough.

Berlin/Cologne. The promises of the previous months have not yet been fulfilled and, above all, the money is still far from arriving in everyone's account ... And the German government is already granting the next, third bridging aid. Dirk Iserlohe, chairman of the supervisory board of Dorint Hotels & Resorts and campaigner for the industry, thinks that this is not help at all.
