During this week, the Truckers union invaded the distribution centers and supermarkets in order to carry out “price control”, according to opposition leaders. However, from the national government they dismissed the statements of the opposition sector and explained what the work that the affiliates did was.
The Secretary of Industry and Productive Development, José Ignacio de Mendiguren, explained this Saturday that “here there is no control, but rather a price survey.” This was what he said when referring to compliance with the Fair Prices program, and remarked that the “most important fight today is once morest inflation because the purchasing power of wages must be preserved.”
In statements to La 990, the official reaffirmed that “here there is no control because the State at no time delegates its responsibility to control, but rather there is a price survey, which has been done throughout life, and of all entities, not just the workers.
For Mendiguren “the true interest of the people is taken out of the axis” and in this line, he reiterated that “it was not delegated, but rather the possibility of auditing or seeing that the norm is complied with was given.”
In this sense, he defended the columnists behind Pablo Moyano and reflected that “the most important thing is whether or not the agreements are complied with because we are trying to defend real wages, especially if there are signed agreements that must be complied with,” he asserted.
“That is why we want them to comply with the price agreements, today with Fair Prices a person can cover 60/70 percent of the basic basket,” said De Mendiguren.
Finally, he stated that “anyone who attempts to breach the agreements is doing so once morest the preservation of the purchasing power of wages,” he closed.
