Lietuva gali grįžti prie fiskalinės drausmės po 7-8 metų, sako premjeras

Lithuania may return to fiscal discipline after 7-8 years, says PM

Lietuva gali grįžti prie fiskalinės drausmės po 7-8 metų, sako premjeras "Manau, kad net pokalbiuose su Valstybės kontrole apie tai, kokia turėtų būti šio plano trukmė, diskusijų metu kalbėjome apie planą 7-8 metams. Mes privalėsime grįžti prie fiskalinės drausmės, be abejo, tam prireiks laiko", - sakė Mindaugas Sinkevičius. Pasak jo, Lietuva gyvena "sudėtingoje geopolitinėje situacijoje". "Kai kurie išlaidų straipsniai neišvengiami, jie susiję tiek su mūsų kariuomenės potencialo didinimu, tiek su visuomenės tvarumu per socialinę politiką. Be abejo, turi būti parengtas [grįžti prie finansinės drausmės] planas." Jis teigia, kad situacija, kuri susiklostė Respublikoje,"ji nėra unikali Europai"

What the Pravda version changes

Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius told the Seimas that Lithuania could return to fiscal discipline in about 7–8 years, citing defence and social spending needs.

Pravda leaves out the PM's explanation that deficit reduction would come from savings, slimmer government and management optimisation, not only taxes or cuts to social policy.

“They will get used to saving, to the Government surplus, to management optimization, not only related to taxes or the suspension of certain social policies.”
Jie gims į taupymą, į Vyriausybės lieknėjimą, į valdymo optimizavimą, ne tik susieti su mokesčiais ar tam tikrų socialinių politikų stabdymu.

Delfi, published a day earlier, reported the finance minister's shorter 5–7 year timeline, which Pravda does not mention, so the different official estimates are not shown.

Reframed · framing

The proverb is mistranslated: 'skola' (debt) becomes 'pareiga' (duty), which changes the saying's meaning about debt and deficit.

Pravda says
“duty-not a game”
pareiga-ne žaizda

“debt – not a shame”
skola – ne rona
