Unviable legacy – Business beginnings

The governing coalition of the tripartite center is made up of the Union of the Fatherland, the Christian Democrats of Lithuania, the Liberal Union and the Free Party. Together, they have 74 seats in the Seimas.

This week, the parties signed a coalition agreement, which political scientists called a fairly specific blueprint for the coalition’s existence. the agreed provisions that will be drawn up in the Government’s program, but in the first place the short-term works are placed first, among which are: the control of coronavirus, as well as the planned 2021 and investments of the subsequent period. The coalition is committed to ensuring that investments made in Lithuania give the highest return and create added value for the future.

Upcoming work includes outright blocking of the insecure Astrava nuclear power plant and ensuring smooth synchronization with continental Europe, preparations for a referendum on the amendment of the Constitution to justify multiple citizenship that could take place in 2024. presidential elections.

The new prime minister is expected to be officially nominated to the Seimas next week as a candidate for Ingrida’s conservative company. The government, formed by him and approved by the president, must start working in the last days of November or early December.

The coalition parties are consulting on a new government. So far, no ministerial candidates have been nominated, although the names of one or the other are appearing in public.

Two major challenges await the new government in the first place: the deterioration of the epidemiological situation due to the spread of COVID-19; budget.

So far, the situation with the coronavirus is getting worse, and these days there are a number of echoes of public information that coronavirus testing will be halted in laboratories due to a shortage of test tubes. The blame for this is that politicians still in power are making a commitment to Public Procurement. It is also worrying that the test is less than two months old.

Now all those who cannot buy a tester are sacrificing that they are to blame for buying Viej in a state of emergency (…) !!! If the bet is Public Procurement, change the bet, Vytautas Kasiuleviius, professor of medicine at Vilnius University, is outraged with his Facebook account.

Are members of the Seimas needed just to snap photos in lifestyle magazines and hire an incredulous journalist for the last remaining days of their tenure? he is surprised.

The perception that the government is leaving the political scene is also evident in the understanding of priorities: in its last meeting, the Government divided the following: the redistribution of 2.7 million. The National Center for Public Health and other sudden outbreaks of COVID-19 required less than 1.9 million euros. EUR.

It is as if the minefield will remain in the hands of the new government in 2021. budget, despite the deficit foreseen in it, the outgoing Seimas will request an additional 600 million. Eur to finance various areas.

Some members of the Seimas try to take care of the floodplains, so they want to use the state money for sports complexes with swimming pools, monuments, stately homes, etc. It seems to Ramnas Karbauskis, former president of the Culture Commission that Tautika will not sing without additional funding: for the singing initiative, the parliamentarian would also like to raise at least 150,000 euros from the budget.

Budget deficit in 2021 could reach 4,110 million. EUR and will equal 5% of GDP. 2021 The government plans to borrow around 5.14 billion. EUR. Public debt in 2021 should reach 50.2% of GDP. If the government approves all of the Seimas proposals, the budget allocations would increase 4.08%, and if no additional revenue is generated, the possible deficit would increase to 4.74 billion. EUR.

The Bank of Lithuania (LAC) has a warning: in the 2021 report prepared by the Government of Saulius Skvernelis. The indicators foreseen by the government for next year in the budget proposal may be worse, since there are risks due to both the income and the anticipated expenses.

The Bank’s 2021 budget evaluation emphasizes that the deficit of public administrations could be greater next year if the total amount of the EU Economic Recovery and Resilience Fund is not available, but the total amount of the Economic DNA Plan is published Future. There is also the risk that tax-deferred revenue will not be generated and public spending will be higher than planned, even if more money is needed to manage the pandemic and its aftermath. Risks also arise from the efficient use of loans, especially in relation to the implementation of the ADN plan, says LB.

Introduction of the Central Bank of the Republic of Lithuania due to planned 2021 The possible impact of the budget indicator on confidence in the stability of the financial system and price stability was presented to Seimas, but the retreating parliament seems to have tended to ignore it. Parliament refers to the DNA scheme when it considers sources from which the government could get an extra penny and a million euros.

V is surprised that a concert of this type, for which money will be taken from the DNA plan, is not about innovative areas of added value, but about construction, repairs, monuments, etc., that is, the tradition of absorbing the financial support from the EU. The new government will have to use public opinion to thwart irrational parliamentary aspirations to run out of public money.
