Open on Sundays, the taboo of shops in Germany that the Government wants to break
La coalición de conservadores y socialdemócratas debate acabar con una tradición centenaria al dar mayor flexibilidad a determinadas tiendas para que abran el domingo. La mitad de la población lo respalda
Closed shops and large commercial streets almost deserted. The image surprises tourists visiting cities like Berlin or Munich. Commercial life comes to a halt for one day, Sunday. A day dedicated to rest, during which no noise can be made either. Now, a German government reform that opens the door to greater flexibility to open on Sundays has revived the debate about a centuries-old tradition that has increasingly less support and which numerous voices point out encourages unfair competition, since it is possible to buy online on Sundays.
