Price control in Contramaestre, unmet expectations

Price control in Contramaestre, unmet expectations

The control of maximum prices for six products of high demand in all forms of commercial management, still needs to be rigorous and systematic in Contramaestre, in view of certain irregularities that contradict Resolution 225 of the Ministry of Finance and Prices for the temporary reduction of certain merchandise.

The measure, which gives a slight respite to the pockets of the working people and which should have been approved much earlier, does not cease to be a shock to the family economy, because what today is a solution, is also a concern or alarm without the effective appearance of a confrontation.

And I state this because of the expectations of many people in Contramaestre, commented to this reporter, who is right about the reality of the matter, when checking the panorama of the price ceilings for some food products.

Chicken, for example, which is so popular, often disappears from the shelves, and when it reappears, the price alteration is evident, even charging up to 350 pesos per pound.

The incidents in this demanded food, also have repercussions in the weighing, whose pounds do not correspond to the price deregulated by many sellers established in their points of sale, harming the cost of feeding us, which shoots up in a volatile way.

The intention of the State to contain the inflation rates and its impact on essential products, with the consequent tendency to increase their value, urges a necessary action with inflexibility and intensity that defends the people, in order to seek order and respect for prices.

Therefore, it is necessary to urgently redouble the inspection work in points of offers or establishments where chicken is sold, even if there is discontent among the business owners and their employees, since Resolution 225, which defends price ceilings for essential products, allows stretching a little more money in the humble pockets of the population.

Rigorous control and constant confrontation are the essential ways to ensure and sustain the positive impact of the measure.

From the norm to life, there is a reality, in which some comply and others continue looking for ways and justifications to continue selling at high prices, whose abusive practice must be denounced by the Contramaestrians, to see if someday our expectations are fulfilled.
