📊 100 days of Koretskyi's government: I tried to assess objectively what’s good and what’s bad.
🗓️ First, 16 in July the Rada gave Koretskyi 289 votes. I wrote then: this is the only personnel decision I’m ready to support. In short — after these 100 days I don’t regret supporting the Prime Minister’s candidacy. Although there are caveats.
Second, even I admit that he came into a difficult situation. There were blows to business. The crisis with reactive Shaheds + constant air-raid alerts. Lack of interceptors for ballistic missiles. Almost complete blockade of maritime logistics. Absolutely failed and overdue obligations. As a result, no money in the budget.
Well, a failed preparation for winter and for attacks on the power sector.
But… he knew what he was getting into. So the positives:
➕ He’s not afraid to tell the President about real problems, including the real deficit.
➕ He reacts quickly to scandals (notably SenseBank and Energoatom).
➕ Very good, well-established communication with the Rada. And he keeps his promises (for me a telling example was the handling of education issues after the meeting with our faction).
➕ Realism. No “100500 trillion GDP” and all kinds of cashbacks.
➕ He’s not afraid to make decisions independently and doesn’t run to the Office of the President for approval of every little thing.
➖ But there are minuses as well:
➖ No progress on anti-corruption: here the government still hasn’t even submitted a reboot of the SBI or an expert review of NABU.
➖ Insufficient communication with business: the VAT idea +1%, 18 billion VAT blocked, a resolution with corruption-prone factors about exemptions.
➖ No reduction of unnecessary expenditures in the budget. They continue to fund that same marathon.
➖ Confrontation with communities against the backdrop of blocked expenditures.
➖ Sensitive political issues are still decided by the President.
Three points I don’t yet know where to classify. Let’s see the results from the government:
▪️ Increasing soldiers’ salaries — this wasn’t in the budget, but they supported my amendment.
▪️ Support for business — not by raising taxes, but by cutting ineffective expenditures (they also supported my amendment).
▪️ De-shadowing (bringing the informal economy into the formal sector).
🤷♂️ Overall conclusion: Koretskyi looks like someone who cares. He calculates honestly and reacts quickly to concrete problems. It’s bad that every big decision in these 100 days was not made by the government. Reservations — the Headquarters. SBI — Bankova. Expert reviews — Bankova. These are the President’s decisions.
But since Koretskyi honestly calculated the deficit, now the question is who will allow him to close it….
