The Consumers' Association recorded 1.850 complaints from indignant citizens for 2021, while even more are expected this year.
Hundreds of them involve scandalous profits in fuel and basic goods such as milk, fruits and vegetables.
"Research must be done, because there is strong evidence that something is wrong. In the marketing of fresh pasteurized milk, until it reaches the retail points. "The other area that needs research is fruits and vegetables," said the president of the Consumers' Association.
According to Mario Drousiotis, the world has reached its limits, as a result of which the last cent counts.
"A consumer went to the gas station, asked them to put 10 euros on him and the index did not move."
For its part, the Consumer Protection Service states that it has no such complaints before it.
"There is no complaint before the Consumer Protection Service concerning profiteering. The inspections, however, continue on a daily basis. "
At the same time, households and businesses are being "crushed" by the accuracy that, as everything shows, has come to stay, with the citizens and especially the retirees struggling to make ends meet.
The future, however, is predicted to be bleak, as the Consumers' Association estimates that prices will rise even more, by the end of July.
