“The state cannot fix the size of the minimum consumption needs with one hand, saying that it is the absolute poverty line, and with the other reduce the size itself. It is also completely unreasonable, when evaluating the income of today’s people, to compare it not with the current one, but with the size of the consumption needs of last year, ”said G. Nausėda.
