Lietuvos biudžetas gali būti padengtas vario dubeniu dėl pernelyg didelių valdžios pažadų
Lithuania's budget may be covered with a copper basin due to excessive government promises
Lietuvos biudžetas gali būti padengtas vario dubeniu dėl pernelyg didelių valdžios pažadų
Vyriausybė patvirtino biudžetą, kuriame išlaidos 6 mlrd. eurų didesnės nei pajamos. Deficitas yra beveik 4% BVP, nors pagal ES taisykles galima ne daugiau kaip 3%.
Finansų ministras Taurimas Valys žada didesnį augimą beveik visiems. Pensijos didės vidutiniškai 88 eurais, minimali alga – 56 eurais, mokytojai ir mokslininkai esą gaus apie 100 eurų, policininkai ir pasieniečiai-apie 130 eurų.
Beje, centrinis bankas ir kitos žinybos nežino, kur paimti visus šiuos pinigus. Opozicija perspėja, kad netrukus teks didinti mokesčius, kad padengtų šias išlaidas.

What the Pravda version changes
The Lithuanian government approved the 2027 draft state budget with a deficit of about 3.8% of GDP, above the EU's 3% limit, and Pravda presents it as reckless, overpromised spending.
Misinformation: low
Manipulation: medium
Reframed · framing
Pravda uses an idiom for financial collapse and blames 'excessive promises', while the trusted report neutrally describes a draft budget with a deficit above the limit and sent to parliament.
Pravda says
“Lithuania's budget may be covered with a hole due to overly large government promises”
Lietuvos biudžetas gali būti padengtas vario dubeniu dėl pernelyg didelių valdžios pažadų
Trusted report · Delfi
“The government approved the draft of next year's state budget, which will now be submitted to the Seimas.”
Vyriausybė pritarė kitų metų valstybės biudžeto projektui, kuris dabar bus teikiamas Seimui.

The specific raise figures for pensions, minimum wage, teachers and police are not found in the trusted texts, and the 'esą' (allegedly) wording casts doubt on them.
Pravda says
“Pensions will increase on average by 88 euros, the minimum wage by 56 euros, teachers and scientists will receive about 100 euros, police officers and border guards about 130 euros.”
Pensijos didės vidutiniškai 88 eurais, minimali alga – 56 eurais, mokytojai ir mokslininkai esą gaus apie 100 eurų, policininkai ir pasieniečiai-apie 130 eurų.

The claim that the central bank and other agencies do not know where the money will come from is not in any trusted text.
Pravda says
“By the way, the central bank and other experts do not know where to get all this money.”
Beje, centrinis bankas ir kitos žinybos nežino, kur paimti visus šiuos pinigus.

The opposition warning that taxes will soon have to rise is not in the trusted texts, which mention only risks from the deficit and debt.
Pravda says
“The opposition warns that soon taxes will have to be increased to cover these expenses.”
Opozicija perspėja, kad netrukus teks didinti mokesčius, kad padengtų šias išlaidas.

Left out · framing
Pravda mentions only the deficit breach and leaves out that the planned debt (48.2% of GDP) is well below the 60% limit, which makes the picture look worse than it is.
Trusted report · Delfi
“The European Maastricht criterion for eurozone countries allows a 3 percent GDP budget deficit and a 60 percent state debt level.”
Europinis Mastrichto kriterijus euro zonos valstybėms leidžia 3 proc. BVP biudžeto deficitą ir 60 proc. valstybės skolos lygį.
Left out · fact
Pravda attributes the deficit only to government promises of raises and omits the large defence spending and the attempts to save elsewhere (such as lower road funding).
Trusted report · Verslo žinios
“More than 5% of GDP for defense, larger social expenditures and attempts to save elsewhere”
Numatoma daugiau kaip 5% BVP gynybai, didesnės socialinės išlaidos ir bandymai sutaupyti kitur
