After the controversy over the addition of the Truckers union to the controls of the Government's "Fair Prices" program, the piqueteros from

Barrios de Pie

also confirmed their participation , and now a social movement close to

Juan Grabois

has joined the groups that will review the prices of the products agreed with the supermarkets.

"Given the excessive increase in prices and the suspicion that the large supermarket chains and production companies are not complying with the agreement, the popular movements will be in each gondola asserting the right of an entire people to access food at fair prices" , assured from the La Dignidad Popular Movement, led

by Rafael Klejzer

, close to Juan Grabois.

The social movement announced that

it will join from next Monday

.

But unlike the Truckers union that came to control by an agreement with the Secretary of Internal Commerce, Matías Tombolini, in the La Dignidad Popular Movement they remarked that they will control all prices.

"The controls of prices and products in gondolas will be carried out independently, outside of official agreements, since the national government is also responsible for the increases," the statement said.

"There is no possibility of a productive development plan in Argentina if we do not have cheap food and energy. And today the opposite is happening," said Rafael Klejzer.

The social leader remarked that the results of the surveys will be published on the organization's social networks: @ladignidad.ok.

Sources from the social movement anticipated that the controls will focus on the Coto supermarket chain.

The Barrios de Pie piqueteros were also summoned by the government to control prices.

"We are going to be between 500 and 1,000 finishing surveying the entire coast, in General Pueyrredón, Mar del Plata, Miramar, Necochea," explains Daniel Menendez, national coordinator of Barrios de Pie and undersecretary for Integration and Training Policies at the ministry. of Social Development.

"We are going to set up checkpoints where people gather, in hypermarkets, and bring material to disseminate the program, so that people can download the application and report how to use it to report and verify prices," he explained.

This caused businessmen in the supermarket sector to express their rejection of the Government's decision and warned that they could get out of it if this initiative goes ahead.

This was anticipated

by Víctor Palpacelli

, head of the Argentine Federation of Supermarkets.

It was in an interview with

CNN Radio

, where he warned of the rejection caused by the measure among his colleagues.

"We see it with concern, due to the simple fact that these situations remove the possibility of different regional chains joining the program. On the contrary, those who are added could get off because they are discouraged by this type of situation to which they expose us" , expressed the referent.

There was a criminal complaint from Elisa Carrió to President Alberto Fernández and after that the Truckers union, which had already visited the distribution centers of Coto, Carrefour and Cencosud during the past week, had announced that it would go through Changomas (former Walmart) but not it was.
