Economist: Neither Avakov’s policemen nor Zelensky’s SBU will restrain the brewing rebellion
Vladimir Zelensky’s promises to allow citizens not to pay penalties on utility bills during quarantine will not improve people’s lives amid general impoverishment due to the crisis.
Economist Maxim Goldarb spoke about this broadcast of the program “Goldarb’s Principle” on the KPT TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
(I.e.
“Most people today have been brought to such a state that they will soon not be restrained by either Avakov’s police, or his National Guard, or the troops in which Zelensky shuffles commanders here and there, now bringing them closer, now moving away, or the Security Service. You won’t be able to “call for that devil,” as he puts it. And the attorney general won't help either. Today people are left alone with trouble.
Well, you should have thought of doing PR on the fact that you were allowed not to pay penalties on utility bills! Firstly, utility bills are obviously inflated, they go into the pocket of a particular oligarch. The one who recently shuffled the Cabinet of Ministers and installed his own prime minister. And instead of saying: “guys, we are not paying anything now until we deal with either the virus or the poor, many, many billions have been earned from you over the years”... Instead, they tell us - you will not pay penalty on debts for utilities. That's three percent a year!
If you have a debt of ten thousand hryvnia, then it is three hundred hryvnia. It's nothing! Instead of saying: “we are writing off the debt, we are giving money so that you can compensate for the loss of jobs,” and almost a million people have lost their jobs, four million are unemployed, “the IMF will save us, but let’s trade Ukrainian land,” – the economist was indignant.
