Social populism and demagoguery Siamese twins

If PR wants to worry about Ukraine, it should not play the role of public defenders, as they have, seeking the dissolution of bonded agreements with Gazprom …

Once, during a TV program, Freedom of speech I have had the opportunity to tell the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Volodymyr Lytvyn, that if the deputies adopt such laws, such as On the prevention of the impact of the global financial crisis on the development of the construction industry and housing, the better had they never worked, it would cost the country and its citizens are much cheaper. At that time I thought about it when found out that the MPs voted on 25 June (based on) changes in the budget to increase the minimum subsistence level and have taken as a whole, the Law On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine - on an hourly wage.

So people elected in the pre-groove on the initiative of representatives of the Party of Regions remembered voters voted for the increase since July 2009 the subsistence minimum per person per month in the amount of: 1 July - 808 hryvnia, from October 1 - 848 hryvnia. For children under 6 years: from July 1 - 727 hryvnia, from October 1 - 764 UAH. For children aged 6 to 18 years: from July 1 - 930 hryvnia, from October 1 - 977 hryvnia. For able-bodied persons: 1 July - 860 hryvnia, from October 1 - 900 hryvnia. For those who have lost their working capacity: from 1 July - UAH 644, from October 1 - 674 hryvnia.

ordinary people think of a good thing, that's just a question of where to find the money budgeted for this increase is also quite large. You need at least 12 bln. for six months. The fact that the state budget is in critical condition, and barely enough money for pensions, social payments and part of the salaries of employees of budgetary sphere, regional is well known. This is while the government and state enterprises, and so are forced to incur more debt just to Mrs Tymoshenko can happily report that the pension is paid in full and on time.

One of the deputies of the faction on the OL a rhetorical question, where will the money come from to this increasing cost of living, and that the additional payment actually came to the most vulnerable segments of the population, said: let us make it through the IMF. This is only in his head the opposition is unlikely to be able to come kramolnaya suggest that, firstly, the IMF is unlikely to agree to this, and secondly, the increasing cost of living, the people's elected representatives should be present at once, where they are going to find the additional 24 bln . Payments in 2010. Also in the IMF, or even try to search someone who will agree to give loans to Ukraine, which is, due to the brilliant work of Ms Tymoshenko, in debt, as silk? And may want to include the National Bank and the printing press to print money as long as it pleases?

It is clear that in this case, regional not interested in all these trifles. Moreover, they are confident that even if they can stretch the law in general, it will not sign Viktor Yushchenko, which means that it will provide an opportunity to appear before the voters of guardians for people who do not think that neither the Government nor the President of Ukraine.

Indeed, the dire economic situation, and suffer from the common people. But the path of social demagogy and populism can not lead. You need not give away money, which serve as a source of loans to the IMF, the World Bank and National Bank of the printing press, but to think what steps to take to the growth of Ukrainian origin. There is a need to change the state budget, completely redo all of his ideology. There was no offer to distribute does not provide a scrap of paper, and honestly say that this Government neither intellectually nor ethically can not lead the country out of crisis, and must as soon as possible to send his resignation. If you go through the social populism, then, dorvavshis to guide the government, today's opponents are in a trap of their own is not secured, and promises a new wave of social demagogy and populism new opposition, which first stood at the imperious troughs.

If the members of the faction OL really have a desire to take care of people's interests, then they need not play the role of public defenders, as they have, seeking the dissolution of bondage gas agreements with Gazprom, which allow certain individuals to obtain multibillion profits, and budget and Naftogaz the whole country put on the verge of complete bankruptcy. Although in this case, people's need to elect not to tell what they are good, and take as soon as possible legislation that would create the preconditions for reform of the gas industry in accordance with the Brussels joint statement and the Energy Charter. However, this is if there is a desire to stop the plundering of the country, and not instead of the thieves put on the gas pipe of others, but his, and the understanding that Moscow would not be this enthusiastic.

The same ethical and professional class and the situation with the law establishing minimum hourly wage. Indeed, the rising share of salaries in the price of goods produced - an important step in ensuring social security for workers and encouraging businesses to improve productivity. But this is the right step in a growing economy and very harmful when the economic crisis rages and deepened the recession in the industrial sphere. Much of the Ukrainian enterprises will not be able to increase wages and will have to either stop production or reduce the number of employees. There are other happy versions - translation of a shorter working hours and delays in the payment of salaries and contributions to social funds.

It is obvious that in this case it is not so much about the real protection of workers, but the desire on the eve of the presidential election to declare themselves defenders of the interests of employees.

debate on whether a natural coalition with BYuT Party of Regions becomes irrelevant when you see the current actions of the parliamentary opposition. They are similar, as Siamese twins. And so, and the other power is needed as a tool for personal enrichment. They are absolutely not interested in that as a result of their social populism and demagoguery economy simply can not withstand. Index - dorvatsya to power, not paying attention to the degradation and obezlyudnenie country where it is not that foreign investors do not want to work, and even its own citizens do not want to live and bear children.
