“Expensiveness casts shadows over the market,” he said, adding that fruits and vegetables such as peaches, figs and cucumbers are sold at exorbitant prices.
Commenting on the increase in prices of basic goods, he pointed out to Open TV, that “everything that goes up in Greece does not go down. If PPC increases, the winter will be very difficult. The housewife’s basket is no longer full. Wages did not increase, pensions did not increase, as a result of which he either starve or buy food of dubious quality. Consumers need to react. Assistance and allowance policies are not appropriate. Expensiveness will last much longer, maybe the whole of 2022! ”
