Opposition lawmakers presented April’s inflation index based in the analysis carried out by private agencies, which showed 2.16 percent increase in comparison to the previous month.
Thus, the index accumulated a 23.5 percent increase between 2011 and 2012, more than double the official inflation index released by Indec national statistics bureau.
“Prices are constantly increasing and this is a very worrying situation,” Unión por Todos lawmaker Patricia Bullrich said during a press conference. “People’s sensation is a reality, prices are rising at an alarming rate,” she added.
