VIDEO | Survey: Citizens stripped to bare skin - eggs with a new price, more expensive and other food products
The end of January also brought a new big increase in the price of basic food products, especially after the production of eggs decreased in Europe, after the destruction of 50 million chickens, ducks and turkeys due to bird flu.
The camera of "Free Press" witnessed the revolt of the citizens, who decided to share their sufferings loudly and honestly with the public.
"Before, one could survive with a small pension, but not anymore. The prices are constantly increasing, this is terrible! A plate of eggs reaches a price of up to 300 denars, bread, milk and other basic products are already too expensive..." says an outraged woman from Skopje.
According to another citizen, basic food products have become a luxury for ordinary people in Macedonia.
- All borders have been crossed, when the price of eggs has become unattainable for us, what is left for meat and dairy products?, he said.
The bird flu is creating panic in the region, especially considering that in Serbia and Croatia, an increase in the price of eggs has already been announced until Easter.
Otherwise, according to data from the State Statistics Office, the prices of domestic food producers in December 2022 compared to December 2021 increased by 20,1 percent.
