Europos Parlamento nario Justo Paleckio biuras Vilniuje: | J.Paleckis: „Svaidytis akmenimis lengva, bet kas toliau?“ („Gairės“, Nr. 10 (163), 2007 m. lapkritis) (2007 11 26)Sakoma, kad pergalė turi daug tėvų. O kai nutinka bėda, kaltininkų reikia ieškoti. Dėl įvairių Lietuvos gyvenimo problemų įprasta kaltinti valdžią, kartais parodoma pirštu ir į Europos Sąjungą. Ar pamatuoti tie kaltinimai?
Jau ne pirma savaitė mūsų šalyje pastebime žmonių susirūpinimą kainų, ypač maisto prekių, kilimu. Dalis žiniasklaidos dėl to ėmė kaltinti Europos Sąjungą: esą visi prisiekinėjo, kad dėl mūsų įstojimo į ES kainos Lietuvoje nekils, o įstojome ir štai kas prasidėjo.
Tokie apibendrinimai, švelniai tariant, yra nerimti. Mes paprasčiausiai supainiojame priežasties aplinkybes su laiko aplinkybėmis. Kažkodėl nesakome: išėjo amžinasis mūsų ramstis Algirdas Brazauskas - ir kainos ėmė kilti. O galėtume sakyti, ir tai būtų tiesa, nes jos ėmė kilti po to, kai jis išėjo. Po to, bet ne dėl to.
Lygiai tas pats ir su Europos Sąjunga. Kainos ėmė kilti tuomet, kai mes esame ES nariai. Bet ne todėl, kad jais esame.
Pernai mes tik „per plauką“ neįstojome į euro zoną. Jeigu mums būtų pavykę įsivesti eurą, šiandien dėl kainų kilimo būtų kaltinamas euras. Nors senosiose Europos Sąjungos valstybėse, kurios yra įsivedusios eurą, infliacija yra žymiai mažesnė negu pas mus – jis svyruoja tarp 1-3 procentų. Vadinasi, jeigu mes jį būtume įsivedę, mūsų infliacija būtų ne 7 proc., o galbūt gerokai mažesnė.
Beje, ji ir dabar menkesnė, nei kaimynuose. Estijoje infliacija – 8 proc., Latvijoje – apie 10 proc.
Ne be pagrindo pabrėžiama, kad atlyginimai pas mus kyla vidutiniškai 15-20 proc. per metus - žymiai sparčiau, negu didėja infliacija. Bet tai menka paguoda, tarkim, pensininkams, kurių pensijos didinamos ne taip sparčiai. Be to, maisto kainos kyla energingiau, negu apskritai infliacija - galima spėti, kad jų šuoliai peržengia 10 proc. ribą. Dėl to skaudžiausiai kenčia silpniausieji.
Kaltinti dėl infliacijos ir kainų kilimo Europos Sąjungą yra paprasčiausiai nepadoru. Pasižiūrėkime į Rusiją, Baltarusiją, Moldovą, Ukrainą, kurios dar visai neseniai buvo panašios į Lietuvą ir kurios nėra ES šalys. Nustėrsime pamatę, kokiais tempais ten šuoliuoja kainos ir infliacija.
Visame pasaulyje kyla energetikos ir maisto produktų kainos. Europos Sąjunga savo valstybėse gerokai amortizuoja šį smūgį. Tačiau daug kas priklauso nuo pačių valstybių. Dažnai pasikalbu šia tema su savo kolegomis Europos Parlamente. Štai Vengrija – ji ekonomiškai gerokai stipresnė už mus, o biudžeto deficitas ir didžiulis valstybės įsiskolinimas verčia juos veržtis diržus iki „paskutinės skylutės“. Ten bendrojo vidaus produkto augimas yra 1,5 procento (Lietuvoje - 8 proc.), o infliacija - viršija 10 proc. Pabandykime įsivaizduoti, kaip ten krenta gyvenimo lygis. Ir, ko gero, kelerius metus dar kris, kol jie subalansuos biudžeto deficitą ir bent kiek likviduos šalies įsiskolinimus.
Žodžiu, yra ir Europos Sąjungoje šalių, kurios turi rimtų problemų. Dar visai neseniai tarp tokių buvo ir Vokietija, kur gyvenimas lygis krito ir tik dabar juntamas šioks toks pakilimas. Na, o mes patys ar nebuvome jau net pripratę prie nepalyginamai didesnių infliacijų ir kainų sukrėtimų? Prisiminkime, kaip prieš 15-16 metų kilo kainos. Po 1400 proc. per metus! Tai liūdnas patyrimas ir, manau, kad nieko panašaus jau nebeatsitiks. Ir Europos Sąjunga yra garantas, kad taip neatsitiks. Garantas, o ne kainų kilimo priežastis.
Anglai turi gerą patarlę: jei gyveni stikliniame name, nesisvaidyk akmenimis. Europos Sąjungos rūmas, kuriame sutelpa jau tiek daug tautų, pradėtas statyti istoriškai visai neseniai, ant karų nusiaubtos Europos griuvėsių, todėl dar vis trapus, pažeidžiamas. Tad nedarykime Europos Sąjungos atpirkimo ožiu, į kurį labai patogu svaidyti akmenis, nes griuvėsius vyresnioji karta dar prisimena. Tai gal tie akmenų svaidytojai gali pasiūlyti alternatyvą? Griauti Europos Sąjungą, vėl eiti pramintu keliu: nacionalizmo suviešėjimas, kruvini konfliktai tarp tautų, pagaliau karas? O gal išstoti iš Sąjungos, į kurią visi veržiasi? Atsisakyti tų 5.3 milijardų, kurie kasmet iš jos atiteka į mūsų biudžetą ir sudaro apie 6 proc. viso mūsų bendrojo vidaus produkto? O gal tie akmenų svaidytojai įsivaizduoja, koks šiandien būtų gyvenimo lygis Lietuvoje, jeigu tiek milijardų neatitekėtų?
Ir ar reikia tokiais nepamatuotais kaltinimais klaidinti Lietuvos žmones, kurių net 75 procentai jaučiasi laimingi būdami Europos Sąjungoje? 2015 09 19 dxztwwrbx | Local NewsLocal NewsUpdated: Tuesday, August 11 2015 10:01 PM EDT2015-08-12 02:01:36 GMTPATH commuters dealt withextensive delays on the Hoboken to the World Trade Center line and the Journal Square to 33rd Street line in both directions in Manhattan/New Jersey Tuesday morning.PATH commuters dealt withextensive delays on the Hoboken to the World Trade Center line and the Journal Square to 33rd Street line in both directions in Manhattan/New Jersey Tuesday morning.Updated: Tuesday, August 11 2015 6:20 PM EDT2015-08-11 22:20:35 GMTOfficials say a New York City inmate at the Rikers Island jail complex has been diagnosed with Legionnaires disease.But a City Hall spokeswoman said Tuesday that health officials don t believe the 63-year-old inmate s case is connected to a larger outbreak in the South Bronx.Officials say a New York City inmate at the Rikers Island jail complex has been diagnosed with Legionnaires disease.But a City Hall spokeswoman said Tuesday that health officials don t believe the 63-year-old inmate s case is connected to a larger outbreak in the South Bronx.Updated: Tuesday, August 11 2015 6:07 PM EDT2015-08-11 22:07:46 GMTNew York City Mayor Bill de Blasio says 12 people have now died from a Legionnaires disease outbreak.New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio says 12 people have now died from a Legionnaires disease outbreak.Updated: Tuesday, August 11 2015 3:27 PM EDT2015-08-11 19:27:40 GMTNew York State NewsAn autopsy is scheduled for a man believed to be the boyfriend of Annie Lennox s daughter who vanished after the two were involved in a kayaking accident in New York.Authorities in New York say the body of a man found in the Hudson River after a kayaking accident is that of the boyfriend of Annie Lennox s daughter.Dutchess County Sheriff s Capt.

Colburn Town kept themselves in the title race on Monday night with a 2-0 home win over Carperby Rovers. Second half goals from Luke McCormack and Jamie Dempster were just enough to move Colburn to within nine points of Catterick Garrison with five games in hand. Only their heavy end of season, including next week's North Riding Cup Final against Boro Rangers, can surely prevent Colburn taking the title now. oakley sunglasses outlet Copyright 2015 The Associated Press.

r First some semantics. The Dark Web: what is it? It's a part of the Internet that cannot be accessed by search engines like Google. It's hidden on purpose. You need a special web browser to access it, and it's designed to be used anonymously -- no tracing. But this year, the light has shined very harshly on the Dark Web.
