"In shopping centers we have a huge problem," said Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux on RMC / BFMTV. "Not only does that make -30%, -40% (in turnover) in the shopping centers where there is the sanitary pass, but since the French have not understood anything logically enough" at the limit of 20,000 square meters and prefectural authorizations, all of the “shopping centers are at -15%” in turnover, he detailed. "It hurts, it even hurts a lot," he said.
