Širinskienė: Increasing Car Taxes Can Be Very Dramatic

As for taxes, he said, the changes will depend on consensus.

“The fact that the current tax system is unbalanced, there is a lot of disagreement, strange benefits for people who may not need them,” a member of Seimas told Delfi TV.

According to him, in October, a working group led by the Finance Ministry should present proposals, which will be discussed.

At the time, Agnė Širinskienė, a member of the opposition “peasants” faction, said that the car tax law was already worrying.

“In essence, the whole procedure for calculating the fee will be changed: a one-time and significantly higher registration fee and an annual one will be introduced. By looking at how taxpayers will increase, especially in regions where incomes are lower and people will not be able to buying new cars, that increase can be very dramatic. “If a golfer or passato driver has to pay about half the price of a car upon registration, 1500-2000 euros, and then another 200-300 euros a year, I’m afraid that the increase in pensions or NPD is not going to be meaningful, “he said.

According to A. Vyšniauskas, when considering the tax, his model will be adjusted.

“What the Minister presented is a theoretically optimal option that meets EU standards and so on. I have no doubt that in the course of deliberations, in negotiations with the coalition and the opposition, that model will go away. maybe some fiscal indicators decrease, maybe there are different tax payment procedures, so that it is easier for people, they would not have to apply to “Regitra”, etc. “, said A. Vyšniauskas.

Prepare proposals for crisis management.

Lukas Savickas, a member of the “On behalf of Lithuania” faction, says that the new Seimas faction is already preparing proposals on crisis management to involve the Seimas as much as possible.

“The society in conflict, the debates taken to the streets, raises the need to re-legitimize the crisis management of the Government. Our proposal has to do with the fact that, however, several decisions have created great resistance. When society is confronted, we have to think about how to eliminate these tensions and the method we propose is to talk about it in the Seimas as much as possible ”, explained L. Savickas.

According to A. Vyšniauskas, the crisis management mechanism should be fundamentally changed.

“The government is considering and planning this session to introduce some changes to the entire crisis management algorithm. What we found were simply broken algorithms: too many institutions, too many opinions, no decision makers, etc. This is not a good example of crisis management, “said the conservative.

According to him, tensions in society will be significantly less if good vaccination rates are achieved.

“What the Government is doing with the passport of opportunities, other decisions, is absolutely nothing new. We are not trying to experiment with people, we are looking at what other EU countries are doing and trying to adapt here. There are protests everywhere, ”explained A. Vyšniauskas.

A. Širinskienė was surprised that the aforementioned changes are planned only in early and late 2023.

“It just came to our knowledge then. That is necessary now. The other thing that is perhaps the most worrying is that we are beginning to manage crises not with wisdom but with pressure and instructions. We have that with the passport of opportunity, which it has provoked the opposition of the population. For some reason, we do not promote positive vaccination. At the beginning of the migratory crisis, instead of speaking, there were attempts to force the reception of migrants in separate areas, “said the deputy of Seimas.

It will offer compensation for damages caused by vaccines.

The shadow government has also developed a plan to offset the harm caused by vaccines. According to A. Širinskienė, this could have a positive effect in encouraging people to get vaccinated.

“Public opinion polls show that vaccination is feared for fear of side effects,” he said.

According to the Seimas member, 16 EU member states compensate for the damage by spreading people’s distrust of vaccines.

At the time, the conservative A. Vyšniauskas said that it was a shame that colleagues were talking about such compensations.

“Do you understand what that means? You say vaccines harm people? ”- asked A. Vyšniauskas on Delfi’s television program, Delfi TV.

“Lithuania has a health system. If a person feels a negative effect or the temperature rises, the health care system will help the person. You will go to the hospital, receive medication, they will examine you, everything will be checked.” The vaccines are good, they are safe, they can solve this pandemic, that’s why you don’t have to scare people, because if there are any complications, everything is solved, “he said.
