Turkish citizens formed queues at gas stations yesterday in order to prevent changes in price prices, as today increases of 10-15% are expected.
It is noted that the price of gasoline in Turkey is lower than in Greece and Europe since the Turkish government does not increase the excise tax, in order to avoid inflation. Therefore it ranges from 0.80 to 0.90.
As Manolis Kostidis mentioned in his report, a 10% increase in one night and the almost doubling of the price of LPG in six months has greatly affected the Turks, when the basic salary is at 200 euros.
Similar images are expected in other products. In supermarkets there is a great demand as products such as sugar, coffee, milk, oil will increase in another five days, resulting in shortages as stores impose restrictions to serve all consumers.
It is pointed out that yesterday an extraordinary meeting was held with the governors of the banks under the Central Banker, who assured that there is no problem in the banking system.
However, there is concern today, Friday, that measures may be announced.
At the same time, government MPs tried to amuse the impressions, saying that there is no picture of misery in the country. “There is plenty,” they said.
In fact, a government MP said: “Instead of buying two kilos of meat, buy half a kilo of meat.”
Butcher said they no longer buy meat because women ask for bones to put in food to smell like meat.
