The average price level faced by Greek households in 2022 for consumer goods amounted to 88% of the European Union average, according to recent data from Eurostat.

Greek second round elections are due, and tax policy and tax fairness have become (purposefully) a campaign issue. Sadly, divide-and-conquer is polarizing the people and setting up parties against each other as though the other side is not worth a vote. It is not just in Greece where this strategy is popular. 

Will my friends allow my opinion that this is inelegant?

Eurostat figures show lower food inflation in Greece than the European average, but higher price increases in food that this country is self-sufficient in.

Is this yet another Greek paradox or the result of the structural problems of the Greek market and the various distortions that still exist throughout the production, distribution and marketing chain, from the field to the shelf?
