“At a time when accuracy is eating away at citizens’ incomes, the profiteering government continues to turn a blind eye to the companies and cartels that continue the uncontrollable rally of price increases, and in the best of cases is satisfied with the findings,” SYRIZA sources said.

The same sources note that “the responsible Minister of Accuracy, after the fact, comes to confirm that there is accuracy and that baby milk is sold up to 213% more expensive than in other European countries, where wages are many times higher than in our country. And to announce investigations and fines that will fall at some point in the future, when citizens continue to pay for products and basic goods in gold for months.”

And they continue: “According to the government’s own law, baby milk could already be controlled for exceeding the gross profit margin! But because this government, as it turns out in practice, is not controlling prices by allowing companies to continue to profit unmolested, it should move immediately to impose a cap, as it did with fuel.

SYRIZA-PS insists that in the war against profiteering, the imposition of ceilings on basic necessities, such as on baby milk in this case, is an underused weapon by the government. When, in fact, with the decision signed by the Minister of Accuracy himself, K. Skrekas, on August 10, 2023, baby milk is classified as a first necessity item!

And because from the “knock-knock” of the government, in fact, it has “hurt a lot”, let’s say to the government that inflation according to the official data of eurostat marked a new rise in Greece to 3.7% in December, while in the eurozone was at 2.9%.

Days that are, let them shine in the government to serve society and work in its interest and not those who profit from it.”
