I don't think that a one-day boycott will stop the price increase. This requires political intervention. There is a ceiling for the markup on medicines in Bulgaria. I have not seen pharmacies go bankrupt because of this. Apparently this measure works and I don't see why it shouldn't be applied to grocery stores as well. I am not familiar with the BSP proposal, but in general there are a lot of chips to be chipped in this matter, but it still has to start somewhere.
This was stated in "Denyat na Zievo" on NovaNews the president of the KT "Podkrepa" Dimitar Manolov, who commented on the upcoming boycott of supermarkets tomorrow, quoted by novini.bg.
"I keep my fingers crossed that this initiative will succeed. I personally will not be shopping tomorrow. I cannot say whether we will not see queues tomorrow, because the chains have announced discounts. We will see tomorrow. For me, the budget will appear Monday-Tuesday, on Wednesday it will be voted on in the Council of Ministers, and we will be given some 800-900 pages to familiarize ourselves with on Tuesday evening. I can already hear that there is talk that the increase in income may be 5%, not 10%. Then it may become a mess. Let them pursue their goals of entering the eurozone, but why should only we tighten our belts? We conducted a survey among our members and 94% said that they are not satisfied with their income. For me, the psychological limit is 5,000 leva. Above that, someone rarely says they are not satisfied with their income. The injustices in this country need to be addressed. One such injustice is the amount of the minimum wage. For us, the entire tax system needs to be reformed," added Manolov.
