Minister Anna Moscow: we shop at a local store where prices have not changed. Senator’s intervention and a question about the shop

Minister on Monday Anna Moscow, in the “Guest of Events” program, she answered the question “how to live”? – Observing the consumption of energy and gas, because it is easier for me to refer to it, last year we saw a reduction in consumption. This year we are seeing a return to consumption of both energy and gas, both in households and in industry, comparable to last year. I assume that these are temporary processes that we do not observe in the energy sector. In the energy sector, we see a return to old habits, and it is always the case that the energy sector heralds what is happening in detail. So I assume that we will return to normal habits – said the head of the climate ministry.

Asked about their daily purchases, Moscow said: “We shop off-line at a local store where these prices have not changed, for which we are grateful to the local supplier.

The host asked: – This is a special place. Please tell me where is it? Prices have gone up 30-40 percent everywhere, I’m talking about food.

– We also stock up like every household. Nevertheless, I think we all see that significant support in energy prices and gas allows us to allocate funds for consumer spending, because these prices have been frozen – was the answer of the Minister of Climate.
