Šimonytė: we have probably the most opaque budget in history

“The government has decided that if Seimas has allowed it to borrow, which is obvious, because the budget’s revenues are not raised, the expenses are not reduced, therefore it is necessary to borrow to compensate for those expenses.” In addition, the government has established a budget budget in which it allocates money for roads, benefits or other measures through its decisions, meeting minutes and similar documents, without specifying the relevant budget articles.

This is what we have probably the most opaque budget in history. Now I can hardly imagine what number the Finance Minister is planning: from this year’s plan, which has nothing to do with reality, or from this year’s fact, which we don’t even see now, “said the leader of the TS list -LKD in an interview with LRT Radijuj. Šimonytė.

Finance Minister Vilius Šapoka said on Wednesday that next year’s budget “must be safe” because it must have clear direction on how to reduce debt.

According to the minister, it would not be safe to talk about the increase in spending to travel for consumption. At the time, he was cautious about introducing new taxes.
