the idea of ​​an anti-inflation basket abandoned?

The anti-inflation basket, made up of 50 everyday products at bargain prices, was to be a flagship measure against the high cost of living. But the government’s plan could be abandoned. This is in any case what affirms the president of the FNSEA, Christiane Lambert, who met the Minister of the Economy, Bruno Le Maire. The government has not yet confirmed this information. But the contours of this basket announced in January remained unclear.

“We will buy less meat”
