The Dominican Consumer Protection Agency (Pro Consumidor) argued for price freezes on some articles of mass consumption yesterday, Wednesday, 19 November 2014. Pro Consumidor director Altagracia Paulino said that she recently sent a letter to President Danilo Medina asking him to convene a workgroup with all the parties involved in order to produce a flow of ideas and obtain price freezes similar to measures that were levied in Argentina during inflationary processes. She said that she could not do this by herself because there are no price controls and this has to be done by state agencies together with Pro Consumidor.
