"System is Killing Us" (Food Prices increase)
A #Protest Movement against Food Prices called "System is Killing Us" is gaining popularity around the Balkan regions effected like:
#Bulgaria #Croatia, #Bosnia #BosniaHerzegovina #Montenegro #Albania
"The price increases have hit items like #butter, #milk, #cheese, #meat, and #sausages especially hard, with some international retail chains charging higher prices in Bulgaria than in their home countries, despite a significantly lower standard of living in Bulgaria.
This has fueled growing outrage among the population, especially as these price increases are seen as unfair and exacerbating the #financial struggles of ordinary citizens.
The protest follows similar actions in neighboring countries, where discontent over soaring food costs has led to government responses. In #Croatia, for example, public pressure prompted the government to extend price controls from 30 to 70 food items.
This move came after the country’s entry into the eurozone, which contributed to a surge in #tourism and a corresponding #rise in #prices.
However, after the high #tourist season ended, these prices did not drop, further fueling frustration among #consumers."
