A bet that must be won is for the government the crackdown on profiteering.

According to the relevant report, from the moment the amendment was passed by the Parliament which stipulates that those of the suppliers-traders (super markets), intending to make increases, must send the price lists to the Ministry of Development, there has not been a single shipment price list with increased prices.

The above is clearly justified by the fact that a potential price increase implies a satisfactory justification that should be given for this move.

In addition, within the next week new “bells” are expected for increases in the prices of school supplies.

It is recalled that a week ago a fine of 230,150 euros was imposed by the decision of the Minister of Development Kostas Skrekas on a company for distributing school supplies in violation of the ceiling on the gross profit margin.

The phenomena of obscene profit, which was found from the result to have reached the proportions of a scourge, all this at a time when Greece seems to have become one of the most expensive countries in terms of the purchase of basic items.

For example, a basket of milk, bread, eggs, chicken, tomato and potatoes is currently priced in Athens at 19.5% while in Madrid it costs 16.4 euros, in Lisbon 15.9 euros and is only slightly cheaper than Rome where there the corresponding price is calculated at 21.4 euros.
