Last spring days Lithuania lives with scandals. They are so numerous that they overwhelm the “home” bowl and spill over the border. And they are caused by internal problems in General and prices in particular. Buyers in the early spring sounded the alarm in connection with their unrestrained rampant, why even a leading analyst of the Swedish SEB-Bank Gitanas Nausea, not a poor man, took up his head: retailers have lost the conscience, “if earlier (last year Lithuania adopted the single European currency, changing native lit at the rate of 3.5 per Euro) cucumbers cost four lita, now the same price in euros.”
And not just cucumbers, rapid growth was recorded in almost all items of both food and manufactured goods. The media is publishing a lot of materials, in which the authors are looking for the scoundrel who is related to this diversion, undermining the foundations. Quick-witted figured out: blame the trade network, they are suspected members of a cartel, after all, argue the researchers, their prices are rising synchronously, regardless of whether any French or compatriots.
Antimonopoly service is, but for some reason (an open secret known to all rat large catches, finished with unimportant trifle. The apotheosis of the “witch hunt” was the opening made by the owners of the largest group Vilnjaus prekiba: campaign inspired by the Russian special services, because the inflating of this topic is definitely beneficial to the Eastern invader and aggressor”. However, such a cheap move wheels already bad, and after unsuccessful attempts to explain this wild version of the owners were forced to withdraw their accusation.
And the gate turns out to be home, very close, to be precise – on the square Daukantas, where the presidential Palace is located – figuratively speaking, all moderator issues, and it’s called “systemic crisis”. As we already talked about the fact that a state based on lies, hatred, injustice, can not give people happiness, and recent events prove once again the validity of this conclusion, and it is hardly necessary to prove that a price war is a direct consequence of strategic miscalculations. A similar story in the other Baltic States.
Farmers on the verge of collapse because of the loss of the Russian market production is more expensive than the purchase rates, livestock, bottled milk in the squares in Riga and Tallinn, in Vilnius just handed out milk and meat, the knife engages the elite cattle and sows. The idea of militarization of the region does not arouse enthusiasm among the population, the introduction of conscription raised a new wave of emigration in the already depopulated Lithuania – less than three million in the country over the past year has left nearly 50 thousand people, mostly young and enterprising, the future of the nation, in connection with what demographers sound alarm: in the foreseeable future pensioners will be no one to feed. Surveys with all certainty say: the people are dissatisfied with the level of democracy, is not set up to war with any enemy, including Russia. And Western prices at starvation wages – the price paid for the triumph of savage capitalism that was encouraged of power.
It is logical that top officials began to search for the perpetrators on the side, and not without success. It turns out that to higher prices involved… Western neighbor, where funneling flow even Lithuanian and Latvian money and networks have to recoup their customers to offset the losses. In the farthest corners of Lithuania and Latvia, the company, for a very fair price taking people by bus to a neighboring state where prices on average by one third, and often two times lower, by the way, not least because I don’t want to part with his trusted zlotys.
The roads leading to Poland, full of different kinds of transport in the Polish shopping centres, especially in border provinces, especially the owners staff complement sellers, which owns the Lithuanian and Russian, the turnover is increased significantly by the end of the week in stores, at least the ball rolled. How to stop this is fraught with serious consequences to the export of capital? Options proposed by some hot heads on the ceiling of the cordons or the introduction of a tax on imported goods, the government rejected because it is contrary to the rules of Schengen.
Now on the agenda – the reduction of VAT on meat, because it is more than two times higher of the same Polish. But analysts believe that the preference for one product little change, to reduce taxes should be, if not on the entire range, but for the most part as a grocery and industrial goods. This will result in losses in the budget, but estimated losses in the tens of millions of euros can be offset from military expenditure, which grow exorbitant rates. You can, but who will bound by commitments with NATO and the EU Baltic concubine? The secret is simple: the main expenses of the army for the purchase of weapons, tanks, aircraft and basic rifles who manufactures? Correctly, the mighty military-industrial complex of the United States and its allies, and it is no coincidence that Obama goes around the world, pushing lucrative contracts to its own “Lakhidov”, “Boeing” and “Westinghouse”.
In the zone of turbulence dwells all the Baltic States, but particularly difficult situation in Lithuania. I think this is your hidden meaning: this puppet heads of the Republic are distinguished by their paranoid hatred of the East to the bear, but President Dalia Grybauskaite went furthest down this slippery slope, comparing Putin to Hitler, and his regime is worse than a fascist. Here and in the Victory day the veterans who commute to memorial cemetery, hid his military awards, the ribbons under the coats and jackets – a group of militant youths were able not only to disrupt them (symbols of the totalitarian regimes outlawed), but to injure. Hatred of the Soviet past, the occupiers consistently cultivated power, and the Minister of foreign Affairs Linas Linkevičius, under the leadership of chief helmsman, played these days by the Moscow media, has promised to seriously deal with the issue of “compensation for occupation”.
I think it is quite logical that in this situation raised the question of authoritarianism Grybauskaite, about the possible impeachment of grybauskaitė. This, by the way, is not the first time, but the previous reply was nothing more than a PR – actions and any damage to the reputation of the hysterical female warrior with the Putin regime is not caused. Now another thing : the initiative to investigate the practice of using so-called “secret information” of intelligence agencies in political struggle and the stifling of dissent, spoke for nearly half members of Parliament. A wave of indignation caused the recent joint report of the Department of state security and the Ministry of defense ( both departments are working under the guidance of the head of state), which openly called domestic and foreign organizations and individuals whose activities pose a threat to the country: the Socialist people’s front, the social organization of acobsen, supervised by the Russian diplomatic missions…
Among the personalities signatory (signers) of the Act of restoration of independence, a University Professor Zigmas Vaisvila, owner Rolandas Paulauskas and Chairman of the party “Electoral action of poles of Lithuania” Valdemar Tomashevsky, the activists Algirdas Paleckis, Vitoris Sutkus and many others. The member of the Seimas Audrius Nakas, also ranked in the black list, in the local media demanded to put on the table the facts of his subversive activities , and in support of the proposed impeachment of the President shared his conclusion that Grybauskaite is the first enemy of the Lithuanian people, because in the six years of her reign, the citizens began to live by far harder on wages, the country with the third place from the end in the European Union fell back to last, pensions and benefits not only not growing, but not indexed after the rising prices, instead of fight for vast and rich Russian market she pampered chimeras about exporting to China, Indonesia and other exotic regions.
Announced a campaign for the return of a million immigrants failed miserably: returned item, and a study abroad, plunged the government into shock: ready to return less than a third left the country, and only under certain conditions: job security and decent benefits, and benchmark are the benefits provided to Arab refugees. Conclusion: only reset the presidential heavy ballast, the exemption from the brakes will give impetus to the growth of welfare. So the main events ahead.
