French wedding planner chains himself up outside his insurance company in protest of not getting compensated for losses incurred by Covid19
Martial Leotard, General Director of Les Ducs de Richelieu society, is seen chained in front of the Mutuelle de Poitiers Assurance, in Liguge near Poitiers, France June 10, 2020.
The French owner of a wedding planning business has chained himself up in the parking lot of his insurance company in Poitiers in western France, to protest his insurer's refusal to compensate him for losses due to the coronavirus outbreak. Wearing a black face mask and straw hat and sitting by the roadside, Martial Leotard, managing director of Les Ducs de Richelieu company, said his insurer, La Mutuelle de Poitiers Assurance, declined to compensate him as the Covid-19 outbreak was a pandemic and not an epidemic which the insurance policy covers.
Leotard, who has a sign that says "the death of small businesses", said he could start a hunger strike."We are not gonna make it, we are gonna die", he said."The pandemic risk is not insured in this policy", Stephane Desert, chief executive of La Mutuelle de Poitiers Assurance, told Reuters. "Our contractual conditions are clear", he added.
