The government has defended its recent austerity package, arguing it avoided indiscriminate cuts and sought to distribute burdens fairly. While refuting accusations of simply “mowing the lawn” on the budget, officials acknowledge the consolidation measures will not affect all sectors equally. The package involves a series of savings intended to stabilize public finances. Despite efforts to balance the impact, certain groups will inevitably experience greater hardship than others as a result of the cuts. The government maintains that strategic prioritization guided the decisions, aiming to minimize overall damage while addressing fiscal concerns. Further analysis is needed to fully assess the winners and losers of this economic policy.
