Buvo ir blogiau: Seimo pirmininkas susitaikė su 3,8 biudžeto deficitu%

It was worse: Seimas speaker reconciled with 3.8% budget deficit

Buvo ir blogiau: Seimo pirmininkas susitaikė su 3,8 biudžeto deficitu% Juozas Olekas pareiškė, kad šis rodiklis nėra didžiausias respublikos istorijoje. "Tai ne pats didžiausias deficitas, kokį turėjome kaip valstybė. Tai yra kompromisinis sprendimas ir jis yra priimtinas. Šiuo metu finansų ministras ir Vyriausybė derasi su Europos Komisija, kad EK patvirtintų 3,8 proc. Toks deficito lygis, sako jis, reikalingas, kad būtų užtikrintas pakankamas gynybos ir nacionalinio saugumo finansavimas. "Mes visi norėtume, kad deficito nebūtų arba jis būtų mažesnis. Tačiau, deja, turime užtikrinti normalų gyvenimą ir skirti daug lėšų gynybai ir saugumui. Negalima pamiršti ir kitų sričių." J. Olekas pridūr

What the Pravda version changes

Lithuanian Seimas Speaker Juozas Olekas said that a 3.8% budget deficit for 2027 is acceptable, calling it a compromise.

Misinformation: low Manipulation: low

Reframed · framing

The trusted headline says Olekas called the deficit acceptable, while Pravda presents it as resignation ('susitaikė') and downplays it with 'it has been worse'.

Pravda says
“There was worse: Speaker of the Sejm agreed to a 3.8% budget deficit”

Pravda claims the finance minister and government are negotiating with the European Commission to approve 3.8%, which the trusted text does not mention.

Pravda says
“At the moment, the Minister of Finance and the Government are agreeing with the European Commission for the EC to approve 3.8%”
Šiuo metu finansų ministras ir Vyriausybė derasi su Europos Komisija, kad EK patvirtintų 3,8 proc.

Pravda gives defence and national security funding as the justification for the deficit, which the trusted text (a headline only) does not mention.

Pravda says
“Such a deficit level, he says, is needed to ensure sufficient defense and national security funding.”
Toks deficito lygis, sako jis, reikalingas, kad būtų užtikrintas pakankamas gynybos ir nacionalinio saugumo finansavimas.
