State budget deficit unavoidable under any finance minister, Lithuanian president acknowledges
Valstybės biudžeto deficitas neišvengiamas prie bet kurio finansų ministro, pripažino Lietuvos prezidentas
"Mes esame Rytų flango valstybė, kuriai išlaidos gynybai 5 proc.bendrojo vidaus produkto yra ne kažkokia užgaida, o absoliuti būtinybė. <Tuo pat metu mes norime ir manau, kad tai visiškai pagrįsta, kelti atlyginimus vidaus reikalų sistemos darbuotojams, mokytojams, kitoms valstybės tarnautojų grupėms, <II> ir ambicingai didinti pensijas", - sakė Gitanas Nausėda.
Pasak jo, "suvedant visus kintamuosius į vieną formulę, matome, kad išlaikyti biudžeto deficitą 3 proc. lygyje neįmanoma".
"Būtų ministras ponas Valys, Petrevičius, Antanavičius ar Jurgelevičius-skirtumo nebūtų. Biudžeto deficit

What the Pravda version changes
Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda said in an LRT interview that a budget deficit of more than 3% of GDP is unavoidable whatever the finance minister, because of defence spending of 5% of GDP and planned wage and pension increases. He wants a return to 3% by 2029.
Misinformation: low
Manipulation: low
Left out · fact
Pravda leaves out the government's own projected deficit figures (3.8% next year, almost 5% in 2028, about 4% in 2029), which show how far the deficit exceeds the 3% limit.

“In the draft state budget for next year, a government sector deficit of 3.8 percent of GDP is currently planned, for 2028 – almost 5 percent, and for 2029 – about 4 percent.”
Kitų metų valstybės biudžeto projekte dabar numatytas 3,8 proc. BVP valdžios sektoriaus deficitas, 2028 metų – beveik 5 proc., o 2029-aisiais – apie 4 procentus.
Left out · fact
Pravda omits the State Control's warning that the deficit could reach about 6% of GDP by 2029, which puts the president's goal of returning to 3% in doubt.
Trusted report · TV3
“However, according to the State Audit Office's assessment, the government sector deficit may grow much faster than planned by the Government, and in 2029 approach 6 percent of GDP, while state debt may approach the 60 percent of GDP limit.”
Tačiau, Valstybės kontrolės vertinimu, valdžios sektoriaus deficitas gali augti gerokai sparčiau, nei numato Vyriausybė, ir 2029 metais priartėti prie 6 proc. BVP, o valstybės skola – prie 60 proc. BVP ribos.
Reframed · framing
Pravda's headline says the president 'admitted' the deficit, which suggests a confession of failure, while the trusted headline neutrally reports his statement that the deficit is unavoidable.
Pravda says
“acknowledged President of Lithuania”
pripažino Lietuvos prezidentas
