Today's Topic "increased food prices" What has changed on the planet in these 5 years, why has the cost of buying food in Greece multiplied???
- Is climate change to blame? (Oil let's say I have to produce for 3 years due to climate change)
- Is the cost of buying energy to blame (Russian War, Nord Stream e.c.t?)
- HOWEVER the Food Trade Companies in Greece have monopolistic policies or they are few and there is no competition ? - MAYBE we import everything and produce nothing??? And how can all this be reversible? Many friends, acquaintances, relatives, colleagues, etc., in the context of our daily conversations, mention that they do not make unnecessary expenses, but on the contrary, they work two or three jobs and instead of having money left for savings, they are already in debt, don't ask yourself why MAYBE Visiting the supermarket has become the Greek's Nightmare? and what can the Greek do about it I hear your Opinion ???
GOOD MORNING - IF YOU WANT TO COMMUNICATE, THE GREEK MUST KNOW - IT IS A SUBJECT THAT CONCERNS ALL OF US!!!
- Why does the Dutchman who gets 6 times the Greek's salary pay about 50% cheaper (Half) at the supermarket, for the same products compared to the Greeks
- ATTENTION I couldn't even share this video and I RECORDED it so you could see it, and the Greek went and shopped from Holland and just took the plane and came here to shop to show you the difference in prices !!!.
- Is the Biggest problem and the saddest thing is that we see all this passively and we only like, while we had to rise up and have a Revolution and demonstrations outside the parliament, do you think that you are not doing something dynamic that will stop us trampling you? ,

- Could it be that the Greek with a salary from Greece can no longer survive with this accuracy? , and on top of that he has a bunch of non-*reciprocal taxes suffocating him ??? *(taxes that are not based on real incomes such as ENFYA, Integrated taxes in Electricity Bills, etc.)
- From what you see in the video, is the accuracy in Greece not real but artificial?
Why should we accept all this passively, what other options do we have? let's take the plane and do the Netherlands for shopping (hahahaha that was funny), what don't we understand???? !!!

Accuracy "sweeps" Greek households - New increases in 4,000 products
It says at some point in the video: In 2023, Greek consumers paid an extra billion in supermarkets, to be precise, to buy fewer products of lower quality, because that's what we all do, I'm not saying something crazy, so we're all in the supermarket because we're looking to find the offer the best offer
FRONT AGAINST ACCURACY AND ENERGY POVERTY 07/17/2024
With the Minister of Development Kostas Skrekas stressing that "the measures the government has taken and will continue to take until inflation deescalates, are of a structural nature, they deal with the problem of accuracy at its root and are already paying off" and the opposition to characterizes "half-measures and piecemeal, which only help large businesses but not consumers", the discussion of the bill on "Strengthening consumer protection, development and the orderly functioning of the market and businesses that affected by natural disasters".
Mr. Skrekas acknowledged that "accuracy exists, persists and makes it difficult for Greek households", noting at the same time that "the government's interventions are not only of a short-term nature but are largely structural in nature, they already have a positive impact and will have a great effect in next period".
As he said, "this is proven by data announced for April inflation by the European Statistical Service and ELSTAT and by the study carried out by the Consumer Goods Retail Research Institute, which measures the actual price change »
"According to the data of the European Statistical Service for the month of April, compared to the previous month, the general index in Greece had a slight deceleration from 3.4% to 3.2% which shows that the problem remains and we continue to fight with measures to reduce inflation in the next period, while in terms of food inflation we have a very slight de-escalation from 5.5% in March to 5.4%", said Mr. Skrekas.

At the same time, he argued that "Greece is among those 10 countries in the EU that had a deceleration in food inflation".
"Certainly, in the overall food index Greece remains in these months to have a higher inflation than the EU average for this and the government's efforts continue", noted Mr. Skrekas and continued:
We believe that in the coming months we will see what it shows in real prices today, that it will begin to be reflected in ELSTAT's data.
In any case, however, we do not stop, we monitor and implement measures which show that they have gradually begun to pay off. Of course, we have not reached where we want, we still have a little way to go, but they are measures of a structural nature which deal with the problem of inflation and unfair practices at the source"
Mr. Skrekas emphasized interventions for personal care products and household items, "where inflation in March was negative compared to the corresponding period last year."
"We see that not only have prices stabilized, but we also have a slight decrease in prices compared to last year's corresponding period. So, the measures that we took which were focused on these very large categories and concern 4,000 products seem to have brought prices down. Certainly we have not reached where we need to reach and certainly the problem of punctuality is big and we all agree that there are many households who towards the end of the month find it difficult to meet their needs. So this makes us continue our interventions", pointed out the Minister of Development.

Countering the opposition's accusations of half-measures that do not address the big problem of accuracy, Mr. Skrekas insisted that "no other European state has taken similar measures to those implemented by Greece to combat both unfair profiteering and unfair commercial tactics ».
"Yes, the problem is big inflation, yes it is not only Greek, it is also European and global and yes, Greece has taken most of the measures which have already begun to pay off and we expect them to pay off even more in the next period. We will continue our efforts until we see the prices deescalate", he emphasized.
He described the opposition's argument that the government's measures only support large businesses and not small and medium-sized businesses as "multifaceted", objecting that "if it hadn't been for the friendly environment for a professional from 2019 until today, they wouldn't have opened more businesses than have closed.
"We had 150,000 more business openings and the balance was very positive compared to those that closed. Not only did they not close businesses, but they opened 150,000 new businesses," underlined Mr. Skrekas.
At the same time, he accused the opposition parties of limiting themselves to criticism without making a substantive proposal on how to deal with accuracy.
"We are fighting for inflation to decrease. It will also be de-escalated in some products, prices will also decrease, while wages will remain where they are currently increased and since the strategic development of the country remains and ensures stable and manageable rates, this also means increases in wages from here to following, as we have aimed. People's lives are not improved by an article or nice words. You said a lot, but you didn't say one measure, apart from the permanent one that you say should reduce the VAT, which we also examined but it proved to be ineffective", he said and concluded:
Speculation orgy: Greek products are sold cheaper in Germany than in Greece
"The question is whether you will vote for the measures to further support businesses, the further improvement of measures against misleading discounts, the development regulations that improve the regimes for investment projects, protect the public interest and strengthen entrepreneurship."
The general rapporteur of the ND, Yiannis Andrianos, underlined that "it is important that the government recognizes the problem of accuracy, confronts it in all its dimensions with an all-out attack against profiteering, which is absolutely necessary".
For his part, the general rapporteur of SYRIZA, Symeon Kedikoglou, spoke of a panspermia of unrelated issues in the bill and emphasized that the number one problem of the Greeks at the moment, which is accuracy, cannot be solved with micro-interventions and micro-arrangements.
“We must break the monopolies and the inflation of greed. The country became a huge monopoly. Controls must be made more effective and strict penalties imposed on those who apply unfair practices and not stick to simple recommendations for the first time they are detected", Mr. Kedikoglou underlined, among other things, and reserved his position during the discussion of his articles bill.
The special buyer of PASOK-KINAL, Giorgos Nikitiadis, spoke of a vague bill that does not actually deal with the biggest problem of the country, he expressed strong concern as to the effectiveness of the new regulations, while emphasizing that "with the Prime Minister's proposal to the Commission to the operation of the multinationals is controlled, in essence the government is looking for another culprit to drop the accuracy ball".

"So you are telling us that the Competition Commission is incapable of detecting unfair and concerted practices by multinational companies? We fail to understand what is the process that will be implemented by the EU and instead of taking measures you are looking for a lifeline to throw the blame of your failed policy", argued Mr. Nikitiadis.
Against "the bill, which is among the EU's anti-popular choices", Christos Tsokanis, a special buyer of the KKE, pointed out that its regulations are supposedly for the protection of the consumer in order to cast ashes in the eyes of the people, but in reality is for the satisfaction of memorandum commitments.
"The government is trying to make black white by fooling the people, while the accuracy sweeps away. Privileges and exemptions for the multinationals are foreseen when at the same time their profitability reached 11 billion euros last year, sending the prices sky high even for basic consumer goods", said Mr. Tsokanis.
"The problem of the Greek economy is neither the code of ethics, nor the wishes, but the treatment of the accuracy, the profiteering, which gallop, for which no measures are taken", argued the expert buyer of the Hellenic Solution, Stylianos Fotopoulos.
As he said, "food prices continue the upward rally and while in other European countries the necessary consumer goods show recovery, in Greece the situation is worsening and the government with this bill appears to have adopted a passive attitude, leaving the Greeks defenseless consumers".
"The pompous title of the bill to strengthen consumer protection is far from what the government promises with the piecemeal provisions and has nothing to do with the reality experienced by the country, which is last in purchasing power and only Bulgaria is below from us," said New Left expert buyer Hussain Zeibek.
NIKI's special buyer, Nikolaos Vrettos, spoke of "another bill that is indifferent to the citizens", accusing the government of classifying Greek citizens in the same category as Bulgarians with its policy.
"Every day is terrifying for consumers and you come and say success to the society that is suffering. The bill does not provide any protection for the consumer. You should bring regulations on anti-gambling and anti-concerted and unfair practices to demonstrate that you are not the minister of accuracy," Mr Brettos added.

"The bill is incomplete, it contains provisions that try to close holes, but they do not close them in terms of the big problem of accuracy, while it is unclear how and when support will be given to those affected by natural disasters, from the national program development", said the specialist buyer of the "Spartias", Yiannis Kontis.
Finally, the special buyer of Freedom of Navigation, Tzortzia Kefala, underlined, among other things, that "there is not a single substantial intervention in the bill for the orderly operation of the market and to deal with the big problem of accuracy that is at the top".
"We only hear about epic battles waged by the government against precision and the multinationals that are having results, but the reality is that Greek society is squeezed. Closing the price gap is a script for a bad movie, and social justice and redistribution of wealth are certainly not in its true intentions," said Freedom Sailing's special shopper.
