This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Stop the food price hike, freeze the food, medicine, hygiene product prices.
Stop the food price hike, freeze the food, medicine, hygiene product prices from 21/03/2020 when the supermarkets started to hike the prices.
More details
I find out the shortage caused by the supermarkets for the attempting to hike the food prices.
I've started an investigation into how the panic effected the supermarkets and the off-license shops. I've found out that the off license shop shelves are always full while the supermarkets doesn't fill their shelves for days and weeks.
I started the investigation 2 weeks ago (02/03/2020).
The supermarkets started to hike the prices on 22/03/2020 and we need to stop them and pretend them to take advantage on the crisis.
