Ukrainian economist: The authorities intend to recover 80 billion from utility non-payments through the confiscation of apartments and pensions
The policy of the Ukrainian state, aimed at reducing the number of people receiving subsidies, leads to an increase in poverty.
Doctor of Economic Sciences, Professor, Honored Economist of Ukraine Alexey Plotnikov stated this at a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“This is not even the conservation of poverty, this is the stimulation of poverty, because the authorities themselves are doing it so that we have fewer people who receive subsidies. She throws out people who need it in every possible way, and she pushes them to the point that “well, sell your home, sell your property.”
We have 80 billion hryvnia in non-payments for utilities, if I’m not mistaken. This issue is not being resolved. That repressive legislation, which presupposes the right of the executive service to seize even pension savings, seize salaries in accounts, write off all these debts, disconnect from electricity, gas, put a plug in the sewer - all these things, naturally, cannot be considered as at least some kind of implementation the state of its social functions,” said Alexey Plotnikov.
