Igovernor wrote:Wales' First Minister Mark Drakeford has been banned from more than 100 pubs in Wales following his announcement of new coronavirus stopping pubs selling alcohol.
The West Conwy Pubwatch group said Mark Drakeford would be banned from entering their members' premises for at least 18 months.
It comes after Mr Drakeford unveiled new rules for the hospitality industry yesterday in a bid to stem the rising tide of coronavirus in Wales.
From Friday, Welsh pubs, restaurants and cafes will be banned from serving alcohol and will be unable to open to customers beyond 6pm.
The decision has sparked fury from business owners within the industry, with Brains Chief executive Alistair Darby branding the rules 'insulting'.
Now the West Conwy Pubwatch group has taken matters further by banning the man who brought in the measures from all its member pubs with organisers saying more than 300 hospitality businesses have said they would lend their support to the move.
In an open letter to Mr Drakeford they said: "All licensees have a legal duty under the Licensing Act of 2003 to ensure that disorderly, argumentative, violent behaviour and antisocial behaviour does not occur on or around their premises and to prevent the occurrence of criminal offences.
"As a result of your behaviour on November 30th 2020 at the Senedd Cymru your actions class as antisocial behaviour for the damage caused to our members' premises.
"The licensees of the West Conwy Pubwatch have jointly decided that in order to discharge their duty as referred to above they are exercising their right not to allow you entry to their premises."
They added: "Should you attempt to ignore this notice and enter any of the licensed premises listed on our website the assistance of police will be sought, if necessary to eject you from the premises and an extra six months will be added to your ban.
"This ban is effective from the date of this letter and will remain in force until the 30th of May 2022 or until your review which will be at our meeting in the first week of August 2021.
The pubwatch group also wrote a separate open letter to the First Minister, in which they warned that thousands of jobs were at risk due to the new restrictions.
You don't actually have to give a reason for banning someone
