Vogliono rinviare la legge sulla shrinkflation!
In this impassioned monologue, the speaker denounces the repeated postponement of Italy’s shrinkflation law, which was meant to curb the practice of reducing product sizes while keeping prices unchanged. He recalls a petition that gathered thousands of signatures demanding an end to “sgrammatura” of food, cleaning and household items, highlighting the resulting waste of plastic, hidden inflation that erodes purchasing power, and the deceptive appearance of a full shopping cart that is actually empty. The law was originally scheduled to take effect in April, forcing companies to adjust packaging before then; however, the government delayed implementation to October, giving firms more time to continue shrinkflation. The speaker warns that a Senate amendment now seeks to push the effective date of article 15b of the consumer code even further, possibly to July of the following year, allowing companies that have not yet re‑designed packaging to continue the practice. He expresses intense frustration, calling the delay an affront to citizens and demanding political responsibility, while using strong profanity to convey his anger.
