Yesterday, we received another confirmation that the action of the Spajić Government, which limits margins, and that in only one number of markets, is just a bad copy of the "Stop Inflation" action.

This is stated, among other things, in the announcement of the Civic Movement URA, in which they added that with this measure the prices of 43 products were reduced by only 5 to 15 percent, "which in practice usually means from 2 to 10 cents per product, which is why citizens were visibly disappointed yesterday"

According to them, with the action "Stop Inflation" carried out by the Abazović Government in cooperation with the economy, prices were reduced by an average of 30 percent, which is, as they said, 2 to 3 times more than the action carried out by the Spajić Government.

URE added that the campaign "Stop Inflation" included a much larger number of products, starting with food products, "where we had from 200 to 300 products on sale in one market with a clearly presented list and labeled products at the points of sale."

They note that white goods stores, pharmacies, and some catering facilities were also included in the action at the time, which, as they said, gave the action itself a wide scope and an offer of over 1000 products.

"For months, we listened to Spajić's government's inept justifications for why the "STOP INFLATION" action was stopped, and then announcements that they would implement a much better action in which prices would be lower for 5000 items, and in the end we got that the prices were lowered for two months for 43 products in symbolic amounts from 2 to 10 cents. This makes it clear that with this action citizens will not be able to save more than 10, 20 euros per consumer basket on a monthly level, while for comparison, during the action "Stop Inflation" they could to save up to €150. Slowly, an increasing number of citizens realize that Spajić's populism knows no bounds and that the 44th Government most often sells them nothing but fog," the URE concluded.
