Food Prices: "Classic Interventions" Not an Option for ÖVP

7-08-2025, 10:10

On Thursday, the ÖVP made it clear through their General Secretary Nico Marchetti that "classic interventions" in food prices are not an option for them.

However, if prices were to gallop away, they would intervene in another way, he stated at a press conference. In this respect, he saw neither rejection nor approval in the price debate initiated by Finance Minister Markus Marterbauer (SPÖ).

Because he had not presented a concrete model. Therefore, he could neither say yes nor no to it, Marchetti said. The General Secretary expressed his own considerations rather vaguely. He pointed out that combating "shrinkflation" (reducing package contents to hide inflation) is anchored in the government program. Additionally, they could start "competitive things," such as regarding transparency.
