Residents of Bashkiria are massively complaining to the head of the republic, Radiy Khabirov, on VKontakte about the increase in food prices in stores and the shortage of basic products.
According to the Proofs publication, residents complain about speculation, the lack of wage growth, and the shortage of such simple products as sugar, buckwheat, and salt.
“Regulate prices, speculation is on, you don’t raise wages, you forgot about the people,” Aleksey Korotkov, the head of Bashkiria, is indignant on the page. – In pharmacies, they raised the price of medicines by 100-200 rubles. Pharmacy “Pharmland” – hellish prices. I would not be outraged if it were for 20 or 30 rubles. If delivery problems, then who allowed the speculation. If they can’t deliver, that’s no reason to raise prices. The salaries have not been raised. The OFAS controls everything – so figure it out, and stop making fools of us, do something better with prices.
“It is clear that people are wildly buying up everything, but prices must be controlled, they have almost doubled,” adds another visitor to the page, Vitaly Kasyanov.
“Sugar in Sterlitamak is 10 kilograms – 1000 rubles,” Yulia Kudisova is indignant. “Check Magnit, Pyaterochka. Oil was 100 rubles, now 155. What is this? Buckwheat in Pyaterochka – 162 rubles. Where are your checks? residents complain.
The Ministry of Trade of Bashkiria responds that it has held a number of meetings with retailers and large networks, suggesting that they fix prices for basic products.
