The view that we will have the most expensive Easter after several years, speaking to the Cyprus Times, the President of the Cyprus Consumers and Quality of Life Association, Loukas Aristodimou, expressed.
As he explained, today we are going through a very difficult period with increases putting daily "fire" in the pockets of consumers, predicting that if the war and the rise in fuel prices and raw materials prices continue, combined with obscenity, we will have the most expensive Easter in recent years.
At the same time, Mr.Aristodimou noted that they constantly receive complaints from citizens who complain about the large increases in various products - such as vegetables and meat and the obscenity by some who take advantage of the circumstances.
"We already have the increases in raw materials, building materials and especially fuel which are huge, but there is also obscenity in several cases with unjustified increases in products that were not affected and should not be expensive under any circumstances," he said.
Urge consumers to boycott...
As Aristodimou points out, what he suggests is for citizens to organize themselves and go on a boycott at gas stations in protest of the huge increase in fuel.
"What needs to be done is to give a 'lesson' so that consumers understand that we are in very difficult situations. The boycott was done in 2016 with perishables and we had a huge success then, something similar should be done now," he said.
