Minister Gramegna announced on Wednesday that a state deficit of 5 billion euros was to be expected, paired with a 6% recession, and an unemployment rate of 7.2%.
Appropriate measures are now needed more than ever, according to LCGB president Dury. Partial unemployment must remain an option throughout the entire process out of the crisis.
The president of the Christian union further stressed that the pending recession could not be pushed onto the private sector. Compensation methods need to be further adapted and a reorganisation of public service could be undertaken, similar to the strategy put in place during the 1970s and 1980s.
