Claude Canabady, Secretary of the CEA: "A Completely Reasonable Increase"

According to Claude Canabady, Secretary of the Consumers’ Eye Association (CEA), this increase is generally justified. He notes that the price of bread has remained relatively low for a long time and believes that an increase is reasonable. He points out that the last price revision occurred about fourteen years ago. "That’s a long time... so I think it’s quite reasonable." He also mentions the removal of certain substitutes that mechanically contributes to rising costs.

However, Claude Canabady emphasizes a crucial point: the need to protect the most vulnerable consumers. "I am not against an increase... but we must always think of the most vulnerable," he states. He specifically criticizes the current system of generalized subsidies. "The subsidy applies to everyone... Look at the millionaire, how much he pays for bread," he says. For him, better-targeted assistance is essential. In summary, he considers the increase "completely reasonable," provided that adequate support is given to the most fragile households.
