MODERATORS
This is ultimately a minor story on a European level, but I am just astonished on how creating a price comparison tool has become the most hot-button topic in Cyprus right now.
Before I finally came across a piece that describes what the proposal is, I only saw the opposition statements which never clarified what they were against, just that those proposing it want to destroy their businesses. I was imagining then that this was attempt to set price caps. Nope, the huge scandal is a price comparison tool for groceries (something that Cyprus already has for fossil fuels)
How dare you try to force transparency in a market! In my day, people just got screwed over and took it like men, and we LIKED overpaying for baby formula!
Cypriot here, and trust me.. not much happens on this island so quarrels like this are not uncommon.
