to be Continuing its offensive within the government and to Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Minister Luis Planas his advice to “go to the supermarket across the street” when a store’s prices don’t meet consumer expectations. The socialist leader made these statements after meeting with supermarkets. “efforts” to control prices without proposing new measures. These words rebelled against the minority partner of the coalition, which has been demanding intervention in the market for weeks, believing that the distribution companies are artificially inflating prices.
United We Can’s parliamentary spokesperson, Pablo Echenique, was one of the voices blaming Planas, and at a press conference denied the existence of free fixation of prices “We don’t think it’s time to ask people for patience,” he said in the food industry.
“In this case, I think it’s clear that they have the ability to set prices,” said Echenique, criticizing the PSOE minister’s words that he called for comparisons between different businesses to get a fair price. “Tell the public that there is some kind of” competitive market The fact that it is a matter of good choice does not reflect the reality of the food distribution market, which is an oligopoly like the energy field. That’s why we think we should intervene.”
Recently, Podemos asked PSOE for a direct bonus of 14.4% of basic food prices and offered a direct discount at checkout. an offer similar to the 20 cents offer for fuel. The party has also requested a meeting with its coalition partner to address this issue. According to Purple sources, this request was sent to both the parliamentary socialist spokesperson Patxi López and the Presidential Minister Félix Bolaños without any response. Echenique also disgraced the Socialists’ failure to formally convey any position to them on this issue, and that “the only response we get is through the media.”
