“The benefactors of the friendship party with the agrofiurer, whose leader has a family with two daughters for some reason is not traditional, who was trained in the assets and liabilities of banks last year, have assumed on a large scale this year – Sodra. It will distribute the thirteenth pension to retirees, which will not be distributed for Christmas, Easter, or St. Nigda ”, I. Šimonytė ironically on Facebook.

He began his post on the social network with the words “Oh holy naivety.”

The politician wrote that perhaps this type of initiative by the representatives of the ruling majority could be ignored just before the elections, but the most annoying, according to the parliamentarian, is the attitude towards the people.

“The arguments are good: pensions are low, retirees are poor. But instead of dealing with the size of twelve monthly pensions, it is better to act like a good uncle and distribute gifts with borrowed money not on behalf of strangers, but also on behalf of others. It was four years, most of the time LLRA supported or was in the Government. But, apparently, it was a jacket with the time to pave the roads to order, which only remained the last minute and one such a crooked and lean decision, “wrote the leader of the TS-LKD list on Facebook.

The parliamentarian recalled that the majority of poor retirees are single and mostly women.

“Some people live longer and earn a lower pension, usually due to both the maternity penalty and lower-paying jobs. The government, which intended to address this issue and included it in its agenda, did not find time for the four years. And when Gintarė SkaistÅ found time to do it, she refused to even consider the project, ”the politician wrote on Facebook.

The desire to share money, he said, was the release of the last screws of decency, which were also affected by the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic.

“It is very dangerous when the budget discipline screws released by COVID loosened the last screws of decency,” the politician valued.

He recalled that the government had not been asked to present a revised budget project after the management of the coronavirus pandemic. And the Government, according to I. Šimonytė, continues to organize “shower of gifts.”

“The draft budget for next year will remain under the table until the last term allowed by the Constitution. The economy, for the moment at least, appears to have largely paid off on its own, and the government has already staged a shower of post-facto giveaways, not solving any fundamental problems but creating dangerous illusions that it will be possible to borrow five thousand. million and share without any liability and impact assessment. , because the majority of Seimas do not care what the Government does until it does something that lowers the ratings, ”the politician wrote.

“Most of the time, it seems that the main objective of this type of initiative, which is doomed to die, is to have the opportunity to lie later, so that I would have done it all, only the ‘bad guys’ would not allow it. Then even those poisoned intimidations with the conservatives and hundreds of people are thrown back on the track, feeding 400,000 pieces of conditional manure, “said the parliamentarian on Facebook.

“Most spent during Christmas”

Delfi recalls that Seimas began on Thursday to consider whether to legalize the so-called thirteenth pension of 200 euros.

After the presentation, 48 members of the Seimas voted in favor of the amendments to the Law on the single payment scheme for beneficiaries of social security pensions and social assistance benefits, 10 against and six abstentions. Further amendments to the Seimas for this period will be considered on November 10.

“All of us, not just retirees, mostly buy and spend before Christmas,” said Zbignev Jedinskis, the organizer of the amendments and a member of the Union of Christian Families faction of the Lithuanian Polish Election Campaign.

The opposition has accused the initiators of the amendments of wanting to convince voters in this way. The rulers explained that there would be enough money to pay the pension 13, at that time the Social Democrat Algirdas Sysas said that the Sodra budget was already in deficit.

Sodra’s budget is already in deficit due to the coronavirus crisis, minus 35 million. The deficit is 50 million euros at the end of the year. “said Mr. Sys.

The Minister of Social Security and Labor, Linas Kukuraitis, believes that the decision on the legalization of the thirteenth pension should be taken by the Seimas for the next term.

Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis and the leader of the “peasants” Ramūnas Karbauskis are in favor of the thirteenth pension. S. Skvernel believes that it will be possible to discuss funding sources after the elections.

It is proposed to pay the thirteenth pension annually from December of the following year.

The initiators of the amendments estimate that about 120 million will be needed. raising after-tax funds on bank assets. About 600,000 would receive the 13th pension. people.
