SPAIN´S foreign minister, Arancha Gonzalez, has said that market speculators are pushing up the prices of vital medical equipment needed in the battle against Covid-19.
“Intermediaries speculate and so do producers,” she said in a radio interview.
“When there is more demand than supply, prices go up, which is happening now.”
Gonzalez also revealed that president Pedro Sanchez will put forward a suggestion to the country´s European Union partners and members of the G20 group that they should establish better ways of exchanging information to tackle the coronavirus outbreak.
