In Sweden, the price of everyday items like chocolate and crisps has surged, leading to widespread public discontent. Marcel Demir, a student, noted the price hikes and how they burden shoppers. Reports indicate that feeding a family has become much costlier, with average increases reaching around 30,000 kronor since early 2022. This has sparked a protest campaign called 'Bojkotta vecka', where thousands boycotted major supermarkets due to perceived profiteering and lack of competition in the market. Similar protests have also occurred in other European countries, highlighting a broader dissatisfaction with rising living costs.
Marcel Demir, a 21-year-old from Eskilstuna, highlighted the rising prices of chocolate and crisps, indicating a larger trend affecting Swedish consumers' budgets and shopping habits.
This protest reflects a growing dissatisfaction not just in Sweden but across Europe, where similar cost-of-living actions have emerged responding to skyrocketing food prices.
