Nikol Pashinyan's unexpected "request" to increase pensions by 10,000 drams caused panic in the CP. For several days, they are discussing behind the scenes whether the situation is so bad that Pashinyan has decided to go against himself and deny what he said weeks ago, to take a step that he did not see necessary at the time.
Although during closed party gatherings, Pashinyan scolds the CP members that we are fighting for "60+", but everyone in the CP understood that if Pashinyan's "scored" percentages were a little closer to reality, he would not make himself an object of ridicule today, contradicting himself and going against what he said a month ago.
By the way, the CP does not rule out that if the situation does not change in their favor with such steps, a "last option" will be to force some oppositionists out of the game. Although here too, new dangers may arise.
