Motorola has just made officers its two new proposals for the mid-high range of 2025, the Motorola Edge 60 and Motorola Edge 60 Pro. Two brothers phones of the Edge 60 Fusion They bet on a multiple chamber configuration and arrive hand in hand with MediaTk to offer sufficient, although not excessive power. In an increasingly competitive terrain, it is convenient to review the technical characteristics and specifications of both models, which come to offer a pure experience of Android And that “motorcycle” essence that its most faithful like. Motorola Edge 60 and Motorola Edge 60 Pro Technical Card Motorola Edge 60 Motorola Edge 60 Pro Dimensions and weight 161 x 73 x 7.9mm 160.69 x 73.06 x 8.24mm SCREEN 6.67 inches Poled Full HD+ resolution HDR10+ 120 Hz of soda rate 4,500 nits peak shine 6.67 inches Poled Full HD+ resolution HDR10+ 120 Hz of soda rate 4,500 nits peak shine PROCESSOR MEDATEK DIMENSITY 7300 MEDATEK DIMENSITY 8350 Extreme RAM 8 GB / 12 GB LPDDR4X 8 GB / 12 GB LPDDR4X STORAGE 256 GB / 512 GB UMCP 256 GB / 512 GB UMCP BATTERY 5,200mah 68w 6,000mah 80W 15W Wireless load Rear cameras 50 MP, F/1.8, OIS, Sony Lytia 700C 50 MP ultra wide angle + macro, f/2.0 10 MP Telefoto, 3x, F/2.0, OIS 50 MP, F/1.8, OIS, Sony Lytia 700C 50 MP ultra wide angle + macro, f/2.0 10 MP Telefoto, 3x, F/2.0, OIS Front camera 50 MP, F/2.0 50 MP, F/2.0 Operating system Android 15 Moto AI Android 15 Moto AI Connectivity WIFI 5G SA/NSA Bluetooth 5.4 Wifi 7 5G SA/NSA Bluetooth 5.4 PRICE From 429 euros From 599 euros A mid -range ready for everything The screen. 6,67 inches, Full HD+resolution, Poled technology, 120 Hz refreshment rate and 4,500 nits. Both phones share screen, with a much higher beak shine than we saw in the past generation. Ah, a detail that you will hate or love: the screen is curve in both cases. Having this screen diagonal is inevitably translated, in which we are facing two large phones: both are around 16 centimeters high, seven wide and eight thick, with minimal variations of a few millimeters between them. The muscle. The choice of processor for Motorola Edge 60 Pro is the MEDATEK DIMENSITY 8350a platform of four nanometers and last generation nuclei. His little brother, Edge 60, is committed to the MEDATEK DIMENSITY 7300platform that already used the Motorola Edge 50 Neo last year. RAM is configured with 8 GB of base and up to 12 GB in the most ambitious configuration, with 256 and 512 GB for internal memory. All this fed of 5,200mah for the model and Edge and 6,000 generous mAh for the pro model. The fast charge is 68W and 80W, respectively. The cameras. Bet on the motorcycle that you bet, the camera configuration is identical. They have 50 megapixels and Lytia sensor for their main sensor, accompanied by an optical telephotive of three increases and 10 megapixels. A somewhat scarce resolution taking into account the level of teleobons that we begin to see even in mid -range mobiles. To complement, they have an ultra wide angle of 50 megapixels. The extras. As Motorola usually in the Edge family, they are launched in collaboration with Pantone, so the colors are quite striking. In the case of Motorola Edge 60, this is the palette. Pantone Shadow (Military Green) Pantone Dazzling Blue (Blue) Pantone Sparkling Grape (Purple) For Motorola Edge 60 Pro, it is like that. Pantone Gibraltar Sea (blue Gibraltar marine) Pantone Shamrock (Brown – purple) Pantone Plum Perfect (Green) Both devices have double speaker compatible with Dolby Atmos technology, are compatible with 5G Sub-6GHz networks and land with Android 15 customized by Motorola. Here it is important to emphasize that Motorola presumes that its rom is closest to Android Stock (the Rom that Google implements in its pixel), a tip to consider. These are the first Motorola to release Moto AI, the Moto Artificial Intelligence Suite. This includes photography modification functions, search supported in the perplexity engine, analysis of the screen content and more functions. Versions and price of the Motorola Edge 60 and Motorola Edge 60 Pro The Motorola Edge 60 and Edge 60 Pro will be sold in Spain from today at a price of 429 and 599 euros, respectively. You can get them both on the official Motorola website and their usual distributors.

If the question is “you will sell the Nintendo Switch 2 despite the price increase” the answer is: yes, a lot

by

469 euros. Is what is worth Nintendo Switch 2 Brand new without a single game. A price that makes it compete with consoles such as PlayStation 5 wave Xbox Series x And that, no matter how much it hurts, it takes on some sense: The switch is no longer a toy. It was possible to wonder if, after this price increase, Nintendo would have easy to sell its new console. The answer is clearer than ever. Not that he is selling well, he is selling more than he had planned. The Price Upon. The Nintendo Switch went on sale in Spain at a price of 329.99 euros. Four years after its launch, the company It reduced it to 299.99 euros. A strategic movement to give way to a switch OLED that went on the Spanish market in 2021 by 349.99 euros. Four years later, the company launches its new switch 2 for 469 euros, and with specifications that few expected. Ability to execute games in 4K 60FPS, an important graphic jump in the games that await you and the great added of Switch: portability. Uncertainty. A few days after your presentation, Nintendo postponed switch 2 reservations in the United States. Reason? The constant changes in tariffs imposed on China and other countries by the Trump administration. The rumors about price increases on the PVP that had been planned were in the air although, after a foreseeable calm, it seems that everything follows its course. Dying of success. Partially loved the stormNintendo has revealed how Switch reserves are going. The answer is “extremely” well. Shuntaro Furukawa has explained in X The current situation. “We have acquired many pieces in advance and state progressing with the production so that we can make the deliveries of Nintendo Switch 2. On April 2, we announced its details and open a lottery for sale in My Nintendo Store. As a result, we receive an extremely large amount of applications: approximately 2.2 million people only in Japan. This far exceeds our initial expectations and far exceed Switch 2 that can be delivered through My Nintendo Store on June 5. The Switch 2 is dying of success before birth in Japan, so much that it will not be able to meet all the initial deliveries. Forced march in production. Nintendo not only has to supply Japan from Switch 2, it has to do the same with the global market. Furukawa has assured that the company will reinforce its production system, one that continues to depend on countries like China, which has been imposed a 125%tariff. The big doubt is what will happen to the price of this console in its long life cycle. Competitors like Sony are clear: They are already uploading prices.

Omoda and Jaecoo have bet everything at car atibored from equipment at a good price. They want to repeat with hybrids and electric

by

Omoda and Jaecoo continue their offensive for what we have ahead of the year 2025. Yesterday we counted all the already confirmed details of the Omoda 9a plug -in hybrid that will be sold for less than 40,000 euros ( MOVES III PLAN through) and that aspires to be the most powerful car for the lowest possible price that can be bought in the market. The largest omoda SUV is categorized by the brand as a Plug -in super hybrid. It is part of what they call Shs technology. Its approach, away from European cars that until recently had a few tens of kilometers in completely electric format, is to deliver more than a hundred of them, with batteries that exceed 30 kWh and that, therefore, in the city they can guarantee more than 150 kilometers of autonomy with some ease. Now, omoda and Jaecoo have confirmed that their range is extended with three other new electrified vehicles. One of them, omoda 7, has reserved a hole in this category of Plug -in super hybrids. But, in addition, key novelties for other models of your offer arrive. Electrifying (and much) its range As we said, the first year of omod They approached 8,000 registrations. It has more merit if possible because omoda 5 only had a version of combustion and an electric. The electricity seemed very complicated to place. A high price was already late. If we add that we are not the country where more electric are sold … they closed the year with just 208 omoda 5 EV enrolled. To continue pushing, Omoda has confirmed the arrival of a hybrid variant. The company has confirmed that it is an update in which the frontal will be slightly changed but the design lines already seen in its current model are maintained. The engine will be 1.5TGDI (145 hp) that when working at full yield with the electric motor can generate up to 255 hp of power. At the moment, the brand has not been able to advance more technical details because they lack the approval data so we are waiting to know key data such as its consumption. What we can expect is a competitive price that tightens Toyota nuts in the hybrid market. Right now, this is the most purchased technology in our country and the Japanese firm dominates with an iron hand. Above the JAECOO 7 SHS. This SUV is the plug -in hybrid that we have been waiting from the First vehicle contact. Then we warn that this mechanic could be very interesting if it was extended with an attractive price. We know now that it will arrive with the same mentioned engine but will deliver up to 340 hp of power. The power-consumption-price combination will be key to the future of a car that promises an electrical autonomy of up to 151 kilometers. Finally, the most electrified option is that of the JAECOO 5 EV. In this case we talk about an electric vehicle that has not revealed more technical details so we do not know battery size or expected autonomy. Of course, taking into account that the OMODA 5 EV has a 61 kWh LFP battery and 430 kilometers of autonomy, we can expect similar characteristics to compete in the future with the Byd Atto 2 and Kia EV3.

Motorola continues to bet on folding smartphones. The company, one of the first to join this type of products already (sighs) Six yearshas improved its Flip type folding recipe over time and today comes not with one, but with two. And it is that the property of Lenovo has announced in New York its new Razr 60 and Razr 60 Ultratwo folding mobiles with two very clear approaches: the first, one more affordable folding. The second, one of the most powerful folding in the market. Without further delay, we will know them better.

The differences, of course, are in the finishessince Motorola has reserved the most premium options, such as the Alcantara finish or natural wood, for the Ultra model. Both RAZR 60 and RAZR 60 Ultra have a huge external screen of 3.6 and 4 inches, respectively, which allows us to use the Android apps as if it were the internal screen, see notifications and, ultimately, interact with the device and its AI. Obviously, The older brother is much more capable both in soda (165 compared to 120 Hz) and in Pico brightness (3,000 vs 1,700 Nits) and Gorilla Glass protection. Both occupy almost the entire front, including the area that surrounds the cameras. Motorola Razr 60 Ultra | Image: Motorola The internal screen shares size and many of the features. In both models it is around seven inches and offers a resolution greater than FullHD, but that of Razr 60 Ultra Reach the 165 Hzhas a peak shine of 4,500 nits (which will be used on counting and punctual occasions) and a quite higher pixel density. Both models, in any case, are compatible with Dolby Atmos, which is always good news. Mediatek for the first, Qualcomm for the Ultra (and Ia, of course) Motorola Razr 60 Ultra | Image: Motorola Under the hood we find the two options that you would expect from two mobiles in this category. First, for the Motorola Razr 60 the Chinese firm has opted for a MEDATEK DIMENSITY 7400X (The folding version of Dimensity 7400), a four -nanometer socate that arrives accompanied by eight Gigas by memory RAM LPDDR4X and 256 GB of UFS storage (whose version is 2.2, by the way). It is not the most powerful lot in the market, but it should be more than enough for almost any task. The ultra brother climbs to Qualcomm’s car and sets a processor that we already know more than left over: the Snapdragon 8 Elite. It is the most powerful that an Android mobile can ride at this time. It is a three nanometers chipset enhanced by 16 GB of memory RAM LPDDR5X and 512 GB of internal storage UFS 4.0. Not only is it a more powerful soc but memories are also faster than those of Razr 60. Motorola Razr 60 | Image: Motorola The operating system is Android 15 in both cases with 4,500 mAh in RAZR 60 or 4,700 mAh in the Ultra. The latter not only has more capacity, but more powerful fast and wireless technologies. Here the autonomy for one day is practically guaranteed, although everything will depend on the use we make of the terminal. These smartphones are also in charge of brand new (together with the Edge 60) the new artificial intelligence tools, Moto AI. This comes loaded with creativity and productivity options, although the most striking is perhaps The pioneer integration of the Meta and Perplexity models. Motorola seems to be clear that the AI ​​in mobiles will give options and has decided that the most sensible thing is to give them almost all: Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Meta call and perplexity. A very interesting advance, without a doubt. A more modest cameras lot Motorola Razr 60 Ultra | Image: Motorola And if … Read more

The air fryers They had a small problem: they were small. Its capacity was (and is, in certain models) something scarce, which made it difficult to cook several foods at the same time. In response to this situation, brands bet on offering more capable and more powerful models with much more capacity thanks to larger baskets or directly putting two baskets next to the other. That solved the problem, but created another: the Airfryer became huge. And that, in a world in which the floors with large kitchens are subject to legend, is an inconvenience. Well, Cosori has found an ingenious solution. A bunk. The name, really, is tower design, but the reality is that its new air fryer reminds the concept of bunk. The Cosori Turbo Tower Pro Smart Chef Edition, which is what this new model is called, is a fryer with two independent baskets with ceramic coating and capacity to cook up to three dishes at the same time. It is a fairly ingenious idea whose goal is simply saving some space at home. Cosori Turbo Tower Pro Smart Chef Edition | Image: Cosori Large fryers. Cosori It is one of the great exponents of this sector and one of its most curious models is the Dual Blaze Twinfryan airfryer that measures the whopping almost 38 centimeters long. That makes it put in the kitchen a challenge, especially if we are short of space. A conventional air fryer, such as the popular CP158-AF of Cosori or that of 4.5 liters of Xiaomi, measures approximately 30 centimeters. The reality is impeccable: more capacity, larger size. But if we talk about fryers, it may grow in several directions. What if instead of growing to the side they did it up? Two vertical baskets. That is what Cosori has done. Its new fryer has two baskets, three resistances (one above and two in the lower basket) and two DC engines. The upper basket has a capacity of 4.3 liters and the lower one amounts to 6.5 liters. 10.8 liters in total. We can put a food below, a grid with a second food and, in the upper basket, a third food. In addition, it has a technology called Sync & Match that allows you to synchronize the baskets so that the cooked food ends at the same time. In that sense, it has a timer for up to 24 hours and a temperature range between 30 and 230ºC. Cosori Turbo Tower Pro Smart Chef Edition | Image: Cosori A matter of size. What do we have then? An air fryer with a width of 30 centimeters, as a basic model, but with a high of 40.5 centimeters. It occupies the same space in the countertop and does not bother. It is easier to make hollow to a high device than to a very wide one. In any case, it should be remembered that the fryer must have enough space on the sides and above to be able to ventilate. Between 15 and 20 centimeters is ideal. Price and availability. The Cosori Turbo Tower Pro Smart Chef Edition can be bought from now through the manufacturer’s website and on platforms such as Amazon or the English Court. Its price is 279.99 euros.

A plug -in hybrid that wants to break the market for price, equipment and a power of “more than 535 hp”

2,539 registrations. That is the number of units that omoda carries in Spain at the end of the first quarter of the year 2025. A good figure if we consider the brand landed A little over a year ago in our country and that only has a car (in combustion and electricity version) for sale. The omoda 5 combustion adds the bulk of enrollments, of course, with 2,465 units sold in what we have been for the year. The figure, yes, is already a third of the 7,578 omoda 5 with combustion engine sold last year. Now, the Chinese SUV will have a companion in the concessionaires. The omoda 9 SHS is already official and has a launch price that makes it a really competitive car if they add the conditions to the buyer. Omoda 9 shs technical sheet Omoda 9 shs Body type.

Together there are “more than 535 hp,” according to the brand. electric No. price and launch Already available 39,900 euros adding the aid of the MOVES III PLAN. The arrival of the omoda flag model “The largest and most sophisticated model of the brand.” With these words the company defines its new incorporation into the fleet, a SUV of 4.77 meters long, 1.92 wide and 1.67 high that enters fully into the D-SUV market. That is, a step above the compacts and competing with a kodiaq skoda or a Mazda CX-60 by size. In its body the distinctive details of the brand are observed, as a large grill that plays with the rhombuses on the front and a coupé fall as the line progresses to its rear. Repeat the crossed light firm in the front and rear area and, in general, it feels like an omoda 5 more dynamic and elegant. In addition, add upper ranges such as the handles flush on the doors. Inside, omoda advances some upholstered nappa leather seats with electric regulation, heating, ventilation and four types of massage with three intensity levels. The rear seats have reclining support. But it is the front squares that collect the greatest technological load of the new omoda 9 SHS. The instrument picture and the infotainment system will be divided into two 12.3 -inch twin curved screens. Likewise, an Head-Up Display is added that omods figure in 50 inches. We will have a multifunction steering wheel and, although in the photos we cannot appreciate it well, the brand ensures that there are physical controls To control different car functions. We do intuite for the photos that the control of the lights does have a physical command, a function that begins to suffer the evils of “all screen”. In addition, it arrives with a Sony sound equipment with 14 speakers (two included in the headrests of the front seats) and wireless load for the mobile phone. Omoda has not confirmed what types of aid and assistance to the driver will have this omoda 9 SHS beyond enjoying a 540 ° vision camera. That is, we can expect functions such as an invisible hood to know what we have under the wheels and not damage the car on the routes outside the asphalt. You must have at least those required by the European Union. As for mechanical capacities, omoda 9 shs is a plug -in hybrid that delivers “more than 535 hp”. The company does not clarify the specific figure in this regard. We do know that it uses a 34.46 kWh capacity battery, homologating up to 145 kilometers in completely electric mode. With a 70 -liter gas tank, they ensure that it is possible to perform 1,100 kilometers without stopping to recharge or fill the tank. The battery also admits load by direct current to a maximum of 65 kW. It can go from 30 to 80% of the load in 25 minutes. What omoda calls Super Hybrid System is the combination of a combustion engine 1.5 Turbo of 143 hp that delivers its power to the front wheels. This is combined with another electric motor on the same axis and works in solidarity with two other electric motors on the rear axle to deliver those “more than 535 hp”. This structure makes the omoda 9 shs a car with total traction. As for its availability, omoda launches the plug -in hybrid SUV with a launch campaign that leaves it in 39,900 euros (adding the aids of the MOVES III PLAN). The car, they explain from the brand, you have to choose in matte gray so we take it for granted that they are the first units that will arrive in Spain. The first deliveries are expected in the second half of May. In addition, the brand emphasizes that cars have a guarantee of seven years or 150,000 kilometers and that it extends to eight years and 160,000 kilometers for the battery.

Price increases on all products

The penultimate week of April seemed to start with some more calm in relation to the Commercial War Between the United States and China. Nothing is further from reality. DHL Express has announced A temporary suspension of all shipments of more than $ 800 to US consumers (whatever the country from which it is sent). It is the Geopolitical context Perfect for a plan that two of the great Chinese giants of electronic commerce, Shein and Temu, materialize a plan they had before even the entry into force of the tariffs: up the price. DHL suspend shipments. DHL will suspend all deliveries worth more than $ 800 in the United States from Monday and “until new notice.” According to the company, the change in its deliveries policy responds to much more strict customs controls. Although the measure arrives in full context of commercial war and tariff changes, the end of the exception of the “minimis” carries Since the beginning of the year, and giants like Shein and Temu prepared to move card. The “minimis”. MINI What? That DHL has suspended shipments according to this concrete figure is not something arbitrary. For years, trade between China and the United States has benefited from an exception coined to the Latin term “minimis”. This expression refers to all those packages with a value below $ 800. This type of low -cost parcels could enter the United States free of taxes, a mechanism that platforms such as Temu or Shein have been taking advantage of for years to offer especially low prices on their platforms. The position of Shein and Temu. The new Trump measurement package ends the minimis, closing the legal back door that both companies used. Both Shein and Temu have sent a statement to their users with a practically identical message: Prices will rise. “Due to recent changes in global trade standards and rates, our operating expenses have risen. To continue offering the products that you love without compromising quality, we will make a price adjustment as of April 25, 2025. Until April 25, prices will remain the same, so you can buy today at today’s rates. We have replaced existers and we are ready to ensure that your orders come without problems during this time. We are doing everything possible to maintain low prices and minimize the impact on you. Our team is working very hard to improve efficiency and stay faithful to our mission: make fashion accessible to all. “ May 2. Both Temu and Shein will raise prices as of April 25, but the key date at the legal level is May 2. This is the day in which the exemption of customs rights (minimis) is eliminated for shipments worth less than $ 800. If this is added to this that every product imported from China is subject to a tariff of more than 100%, the price increase was simply inevitable. What can we expect outside the United States. Although Shein and Temu are going to be especially beaten in the United States, we can expect a direct impact (to a lesser extent, yes) worldwide. Global operating costs will cause a generalized increase in logistics costsand it is not ruled out to compensate for this possible reduction in margins and sales in the United States through increases in the rest of markets.

an entry rate that folds its price

Economic, Venice had a problem: his geography did not give for more (tourists), much less if a large number of these hordes that arrived at the enclave daily did it to disappear when the night arrived without leaving any benefit to the city in addition to a large amount of garbage. This was how a series of regulations were born where it was put Bumper to the groups big, se They tracked phoneSo was imposed A pioneering toll. It went so well that they announced Redouble the bet. They did not go lantern. A fragile city against hordes. Since its origins, Venice has fought the forces of nature, raising stone walls against the sea to make its unique lagoon habitable. Today, however, the enemy that threat is not water, but the unstoppable wave of visitors who travel it as if there were no tomorrow with backpacks, sandwiches and, in many cases, little interest in contributing to its economy or preserving its delicate ecosystem. To contain these so -called tourists “Mordi e fuggi” (literally, “eat and run away”) the city has Reinstasurated and expanded Its controversial access rate, a measure destined to discourage overflowing tourism on days of high influx. First applied last year for 30 days, and that, As we countnow it will extend to 54 days (since April 18), and will penalize with a higher rate (10 euros compared to 5) To those who reserve with little or zero in advance, have been active for a few days. The measure, more than a drastic brake, seems to send a message to the world: Venice is unique, fragile and requires more conscious and respectful tourism. Between protection and pragmatism. We have explained before. The entry into force of this rate is justified both for symbolic reasons and for concrete urban management demands. In 2023, Venice was on the verge of being included in the list of patrimonies in danger of UNESCO, threatened by mass tourism, climate change and excessive urban development. Thanks to initiatives such as the rate, the city has achieved (for now) Avoid this ominous label, although the experts of the organization will re -evaluate the situation next July. Meanwhile, the income generated last year by the rate amounted to 2.8 million eurosa figure for mainly to cover the cost of implementation of this system still in an experimental phase. Although the impact on the tourist influx has been questionable (the local government itself admits that the days with a rate registered, paradoxically, More visitors) The authorities insist that the tool has a crucial operational value: it allows more precision to plan municipal services, from garbage collection to urban transport. Criticism, surveillance and tensions. Of course, critical voices are not lacking. Had the New York Times That for figures such as the opposition councilor Monica Sambo, trying to govern Venice as if it were a theme park with a paid entrance is a simplistic and symbolic solution to a much more complex structural problem. Sambo claims more comprehensive policies: A clear limit to the number of hikers allowed per day, firm regulations on tourist accommodation and strategies that promote access to housing and stable employment for residents, thus fighting the “tourist monoculture” that suffocates the Venetian social fabric. To this is added the concern for the control and privacy that we have months ago: to monitor tourist flows, the city uses Location data Telefónica and security cameras, measures that some see as steps towards intrusive surveillance. Plus: They have also been forbidden The megaphones And he has limited to 25 The number of people per tourist group. Imperfect tool to an urgency. As We count A few weeks ago, the rate applies only to single -day visitors between 8:30 and 16:00, and They are exempt Those who stay in registered hotels or rentals, already subject to a tourist tax, as well as those who work, study or visit relatives in the city. All visitors They must register and get a QR code before arrival. For its defenders, such as Simone Venturini, Councilor for Tourism, this rate represents not only a control measure, but a declaration of principles: Venice is not a dead postal or a tourist decoration, but a living city that demands respect. One thing seems clearly clear: its practical effectiveness may be in debate, but in a context where tourism threatens with devour To the city, any attempt to restore the balance between the rights of residents and the desires of visitors becomes not only legitimate, but urgent.

The millions of tourists receiving Rome are uploading the price of the carbonara. And the neighbors have tired

by

In Italy La Carbonara it’s a Gastronomic emblem. Now also a symbol against Tourist massification. Before the perspective that Rome is filled this year of millions of visitors attracted to the 2025 jubilee and that this avalanche triggers (even more) the prices of certain services, such as the menus of the treatments, An association of consumers has proposed to institutions and hoteliers to seal a ‘carbonara pact’ that guarantees that they will apply “fair” rates To the dishes. And they have a figure in mind: 12 euros. A figure: 35 million. Rome is a enormous gigantic tourist destination. Probably one of the largest on the planet. That is no novelty. Your City Council Calculate that last year he received 51.4 million visitors, a historical record that leads local authorities to refer to its city as “the capital of tourism” (capital letters are yours). A new element will be added to that interest in the eternal city: the 2025 jubilee, an appointment that according to the Italian Ministry of Tourism will attract More than 35 million of visitors. And how will it affect prices? That is the question that was asked A few months ago Consumerismo no Profit, an association of consumer -based consumer. In An open letter Its president, Luigi Gabriele, recalls the forecasts of visitors to the jubilee and shows his concern to the perspective that this tide of tourists and pilgrims raises prices in the shops and restaurants of the capital. It is not a minor issue if one takes into account that in March the Year -on -year IPC of non -alcoholic foods and drinks was in Italy of 2.6%. “It is undeniable that the increase in demand for goods and services determined by the jubilee runs the risk of provoking deep changes in current price lists, some of which are already underway, taking companies in the area to maximize their profits in 2025,” says Gabriele in Your letterin which he warns of the damage to the image of Rome and the impact for the pockets of both foreign visitors and residents. Objective: Dishes at “righteous” prices. To avoid the association proposed to late 2024 Address the issue at a round table in which both administrations and consumers and businessmen participated. The objective: set a “controlled” or “fair” price for certain typical dishes that have become an emblem of Italian cuisine. Which is it? Gabriele quotes the pasta to the Amatrician and the Carbonara, which “are among the most consumed by tourists.” For that reason, insiststhey are the ones that run the greatest risk of becoming more expensive in 2025. “Our proposal is to define a ‘fair price’ for those dishes, shared with trade associations, recognizing with a special seal or logo those premises who decide to join the initiative,” raises Consumerism not profit. The idea was well received by the City Council, As needed The repubblicaand resulted in what is now known as ‘Carbonara Pact’a “voluntary agreement” for which certain establishments undertake to charge their clients reasonable rates. But … What is reasonable? That is the key. Consumerism does not go into details or Your letter nor in The section of its website dedicated to the ‘Patto della Carbonara’, but over the last months of the Italian press and Foreign It has repeated a figure: 12 euros, a sum for which carbonara pasta dishes could be found in restaurants in the center at the end of 2024, remember Corriere della will. It is not sought that the price drops. But he wants to avoid being shot. “Overcome 11 or 12 euros is not fair for the client. It loses the identity of what Roman cuisine is, which is the dish itself and what it wants to represent,” Explain to The country The owner of a place in Rome. The reasoning is very simple. The defenders of the measure They estimate That preparing a carbonara paste dish is relatively cheap, so taking into account raw materials could be charged for 6.5 euros. To that amount add other extra costs until reaching 12 euros, a price that in its opinion already includes the “margins”. And has it served? One thing is the theory. Another very different facts. Although consumerismo is He has committed To identify the businesses that have been assigned to the ‘Carbonara Pact’ and invites customers has denounced those who do not respect it, there are those who look at the initiative with skepticism. Marina García, journalist and correspondent in Rome, I recently recognized to The country that the pact has not worked too much. “It serves more to open a tourism debate than to have a real impact,” he adds. There are those who, after probe the city’s businesses, He found himself A few months ago, prices already ranged between 12.5 and 19 euros. Or even who speaks that in just a few years the dish has shot from eight to 16 euros. For now, what the agreement has helped is to influence the effect that massive tourism has on a day -to -day basis (And the pocket) of the population, a debate that has occurred in other parts from Italy (Venice, for example) and whom Spain It is not foreign.
