The decision announced by the French Prime Minister thus proves right those who complain that manufacturers are shrinking the products they put on supermarket shelves.

In our country, on the other hand, the Government is targeting distributors, who it accuses of getting rich thanks to inflation. “There are distributors and supermarkets with 600 million in profits that do not want to make an effort,” declared the current acting Minister of Consumption, Alberto Garzón , a year ago in Carne Cruda , a podcast on elDiario.es .

It should be remembered that the poland phone data Government's response to the rise in food prices was the reduction of VAT. However, the consumer organisation Facua reported a few days ago that almost half (48.9%) of the products analysed that have benefited from this tax reduction have increased in price compared to what they were before the measure was applied.

At the moment, in our country, the possibility of deploying any type of action to try to combat deflation has not been raised.

Although distribution has been singled out in our country, the truth is that Carrefour has become a spearhead in the fight against deflation in France.

The company's CEO, Alexandre Bompard, spoke out against reduflation last month in an interview with BFM TV , calling the strategy "the height of cynicism." He did not stop there, but named some of the companies most targeted for this practice , such as PepsiCo (Lay's), Unilever (Magnum or Carte d'Or) or Findus.
