"Fact" daily writes:
Yesterday, another "spotty" Kkapar deputy had to admit that they "definitely deviated from their plan" regarding the reduction of the poverty level. They promised to cut poverty in half, but the poverty rate barely fell from 26 percent to 21 percent. Although, it is also doubtful that it went down. Moreover, he is too soft to represent that they have deviated "somewhat". In fact, they didn't keep any promises. For example, NA MP, economist Tadevos Avetisyan mentions in his conversation with us that if you made 20 conditional promises, you say you fulfilled 2, that's why I don't fulfill these 18, that means you are just lying and you lied from the beginning.
"And what did they promise?" They made four socially measurable promises formulated in three points, but they did not fulfill all four. They said that the minimum wage should be 85 thousand drams, now it is 75 thousand drams. It was said that the minimum pension should be equal to the value of the food basket. Now the minimum pension is 36 thousand drams, about 7 thousand drams less than the value of the food basket. They said that the average pension should become equal to the value of the minimum consumer basket, the average pension is about 50 thousand, the value of the minimum consumer basket is 80 thousand, the difference is 30 thousand drams.
These promises are formulated very directly, that paper is publicly available, anyone can read it in the government's five-year plan and see that they lied, that is, they did not fulfill the promises," says Avetisyan.
But back to the patchwork cap. He says, well, they will give an answer to the voters. And what answer should they give when it is obvious that they did not do what they promised? And since they don't have an answer, they start to mutter "crutites", in short - to blow, wave in the air, make wind. The other patched cap, in this case a minister, declares that... it was rallies, it brought instability, and the economy and investments love stability.
And since there were rallies, according to what this source of wisdom said, the economy was stagnant, it was shaken by political instability, that's why poverty did not decrease, it did not decrease. If any official in any European country presents such a reason to the public, can you imagine what day the public will throw at that official? But this is Armenia, where the Communist Party is in power, and, naturally, they will have to find another culprit for their failures. In this case, the "guilty" is the opposition with its rallies. However, it still does not "stick". First of all, it's been eight years since the entire KP leadership, led by Pashinyan, have been throwing the country into one shock after another, they are provoking instability after instability, and who are you complaining about now?
Into whose pocket do they want to throw the shocks and rampages they provoked? It is the leadership of this government and the inability to lead that creates instability, the problems they bring create instability, not the rallies. Second. During the rallies mentioned by the Minister of Defense, in connection with the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, there was a certain economic upswing in Armenia, an unexpected financial inflow and income. Eh, not to reward yourself with millions, but to reduce poverty.
Do you write off 6 or 7 million drams as a New Year's bonus, and show pensioners and people "sitting" on the minimum wage the crunch of confetti paper? The third. the last comprehensive and sustained manifestation of the rallies was in the summer of 2024. Last year, 1-2 times, in connection with the illegal detention of Samvel Karapetyan. But the rallies are to blame. Are you serious? Seriously, are you serious? By the way, in any country there are rallies, even disobedience, excitement, riots. Let's say in France.
Not once did we see a French minister making such "crutites" in front of journalists. Have you failed at everything, say we have failed...
