Since his arrival at the Ministry of Internal Trade, Feletti and his surroundings had kept an absolute reserve regarding his plans for his management and also the team with which he will work. The only clues had been given by Feletti himself, who had assured in C5N that he knew “that it is a very difficult goal at the moment, but obviously lowering the weight of the food basket in the average of popular incomes is a challenge that he has to be”.

The Government told this media that the meeting held today by Feletti with the mass consumer products companies has already arrived with the decision to propose the price agreement to the companies.
