The Deputy Chairman of VMRO, Carlos Contrera, called for a boycott of large food chains in Bulgaria ''because of high prices''. His call on Facebook follows the example of a civic boycott of food chains in Croatia, which spread to other Balkan countries—Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and North Macedonia.

"The inexplicable rise in the prices of eggs, butter and other products clearly indicates secret agreements. The mantra of low inflation, which is being preached by various analysts, does not correspond to reality. We are paying significantly more for essential goods", wrote Contrera.

According to him, ''no one can give a meaningful answer as to how and why the same products in the same chain in Germany and Bulgaria have price differences of 10-15-20%''.
