Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan meets with major traders to discuss capping the commercial markup, in the context of disputes within the governing coalition.

The meeting of Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan with major traders takes place against the backdrop of a dispute between PNL and PSD regarding the extension of the price cap on basic foodstuffs. The social democrats want to extend the measure after October 1, while the liberals oppose it. The government has stated that there are classified transcripts confirming the decision not to extend the price cap, which has led to misunderstandings. Until a final decision next week, Bolojan will assess the impact of the price cap with traders, in the context of rising food prices.
