The party Civil Solidarity has strongly condemned the recent decision of the Tariff Council on increase in the electricity and gas prices.
This decision is a bitter result of "non-operational" policy of the government and the fall in oil prices.
"Deplorable is that the government tries to fill the budget deficit by increasing the cost of utilities. It seems the people will have to correct the government's careless actions, since there is no proper reasoning for utilities price increase,” the statement says.
In addition, the government has not prepared any action plan for the prevention of the increase in food prices. The statement also expresses confidence that this will be followed by a new rise in price, so the salary increase is inevitable.
Authors of the statement require review of the decision to increase tariffs, and regulation of the imbalance between rising prices and low wages. -05D-
