“Look only prices at supermarkets in Greece and Germany, on the same products: 1.59 € Milk in Greece, 1.25 in Germany,” G. Karameros said
The Ministry of Development and SYRIZA spokesman George Karameros have been indulging in a war of successive announcements on either side. “Fake News” described Mr Karameros’ statements to SKAI for “great accuracy in food”.
The SYRIZA spokesman gave comparative boards for prices in Germany and Greece. “Look only prices at supermarkets in Greece and Germany, on the same products: 1.59 € Milk in Greece, 1.25 in Germany. Coffee, the same brand, € 7.84 in Greece, € 5.49 in Germany. Ham of € 2.56 in Greece, € 1.59 in Germany. 5.77 € Shampoo in Greece, 3.45 € in Germany. Only the shower gel is cheaper in Greece, while a salary of 968 € in Greece is € 2,161 in Germany (for the same scale)“, He pointed out.
The Ministry of Development, for its part, in response to the above statements, issued the following announcement:
“Truth and reality have no value to SYRIZA and Mr Karameros. They only know how to shake their finger, make statements, ignoring the real elements.
The truth and reality, according to Eurostat official data, no matter how much in Koumoundourou deny it, is that Greece has the lowest inflation and basic living in the eurozone in the last four months.
The truth and the reality is that according to a recent study by the Consumer Retail Retail Research Institute (IELKA) – published on February 24, 2025 – Prices of the standard consumer products in Greek supermarkets are cheaper than the respective products in France, Germany, Germany, Germany, Germany, Germany the countries covered by IELKA inventory (and not sampling) research.
The relevant comparative items are presented in the following table:
In particular, regarding the individual products mentioned by Mr Karameros, IELKA’s detailed details are as follows:
Mr Karameros’ statements are thus added to a series of conspiracy theories and “fakenews” that harm beyond the truth, consumers themselves, leading them to believe that the “elements” and “prices” mentioned by Mr Karameros are really, so they are easily victims of those who are trying to make them victims.
Unfortunately, however, the word “responsibility” or the word “responsibility” is not in the “strong” of SYRIZA, nor Mr. Karameros“
SYRIZA spokesman for fake news
Responding to the characterization of his statements as fake news, George Karameros stated in a post on social media:
“The Minister of Development of the Cartel Government, Mr @otheodorikakos, thinks he can still fool citizens after 6 years, claiming that there is no precision and characterizing Fake News! Today in the morning broadcast of SKAI, I mentioned on the one hand on specific basic goods (milk, coffee, etc.) available to supermarkets in Greece at more expensive prices than in Germany and on the other hand, in the undoubted IME VEEK elements that document its 20% of the Metrons of Metron. They say they were having a better time in 2019 than today. However, Mr Mitsotakis’ Minister, in response to our announcement, keeps the IELKA’s details on the failed basket of the house of his predecessors. That is, they insist on the mistake and declare their satisfaction that everything is going well. And let’s be the Greeks in the last place of the EU’s purchasing power (PPS index) according to Eurostat. And this fake news Mr. Theodorikakos? “

Reply of the Ministry of Development to the post of G. Karameros
This post by Mr Karameros did not remain unanswered as the Ministry of Development came back with a next announcement:
“Obviously, Mr Karameros does not want to realize that in the face of the problem of life costs, the government has taken a series of prices control measures, enhancing healthy competition, increasing the ceilings of fines arising from intensive controls, significant successive increases.
Measures, as Greece is the country with the lowest inflation of food and basic living in recent months in the eurozone, with relative rates either around zero or purely negative.
Mr. Karameros pretends to be ignoring them. Perhaps, because the measures that bring results were voted by the ND government and his party, SYRIZA, voted against them. Obviously, they will still believe that they can abolish accuracy with a law and an article, as they did with the memorandums“
