Euro Changeover balance it issue is complex balance it and there are many contradictions, but at the end everything balance it is decided by each personal belief, says political scientist and research center "SKDS" head Arnis. Conversation with marketing and public relations vortals "7guru" he says of the current public mood introduction of the euro , contrary to the views in the public sphere, as well as why it can be useful to go to the most demanding roads. What are the latest public balance it opinion research on the introduction of the euro - how big is the community support and the overall mood?
Latest data at our disposal is subject to this November. At that time, the survey asked: "Do you think that Latvian is welcome change from the lat to the euro?". Respondents were able to give an answer a five-point scale - or, in their opinion, it is fully supported, rather encouraged, rather balance it than encouraged, is not supported or are neutral towards the case. The introduction of the euro is completely or rather encouraged, claimed a total of 17% of the respondents. 19% expressed a neutral attitude, but 58% said they were "against." So, we can say that the attitude of the public introduction of the euro area, a fast does not change?
That's it. If we compare with the results we obtained in the summer months, the support for adoption of the euro has climbed a bit, but the growth is minimal. Similar figures I have seen other business balance it surveys balance it - more than half say "do not be general, and not to". Is the ruling officials skeptical public mood to pay attention and try to change it?
That's balance it a good question balance it - whether politicians should balance it try to change the absolute majority opinion. Alternatively, however, is that the politicians we elect them to act the way we want? It seems to me that all the logic and essence of democracy is that politicians can entrust so that they act in our best interest! Following this logic, should not the politicians varītēm spend our own money to try to sell us what we want, but to do what the majority wants. Often stated that the Latvian public awareness of the introduction of the euro and the pros and cons is not effective. How do you think?
Such questions are difficult to follow-up. That's my interpretation, however, when there is talk in categories such as public awareness adequacy, usually subtext is that the company is a fool who necessarily educated. I do not agree in principle to such a specific setting. It is clear that each of us has a different intelligence and level of education of any two people the things from different angles and often very different look to the same phenomena. balance it "Latvian Bank" driving vision of the world is one, the head of government, it is a bit different, but the farmer in the countryside balance it still see the world quite differently.
Every week he does not fly business class to Europe. People have different viewpoints as a result of their experience, occupation and the circumstances in which they live. It, in turn, follows the fact that we perceive and evaluate what is happening in different ways.
This does not mean that it would not take communication. The government and politicians need to explain a variety of conditions for euro adoption, the pros and cons. Rather, I would like to point out that I think is wrong and arrogant balance it to believe that if everyone thinks as I do, then they are fools and should be a little "pakampaņot" and "papīārot" to force the world to see my eyes. However, the question was more about whether people are aware of certain practical nuances that can bring the changeover.
One moment things are technical conditions - the euro is introduced, at which point the stores change prices and whether the bill will not be too large for the current wallet. What else have stories that spur the economy, interest rates will improve, and so on. All of them are actually exclusively subjective opinions! balance it They are, of course, served as unavoidable truth, but in reality no one can know how to really be - for better or worse. Yes, they are aware of the views, opinions forcefully, but they still are just opinions! This is not a straightforward and one hundred percent say that the introduction of the euro in our whole life will improve. Maybe it really will be, but the important thing is that now no one should not be able to do one hundred percent accurate prediction. To a large extent the whole issue boils down to the fact that you believe in authority.
If "preparējam" this issue more deeply, I think, at the end of the day, this issue rests on the values. This is not a story about some safe and above anticipation of the Latvian economic development path or geopolitical argument that with the introduction of the euro, we get rid of Russia's influence and further balance it integrate to somewhere in the west. I think this argument balance it is a white thread and sewed paradoxically balance it opposite can be true. Reporting system balance it rather focused somewhere values and orientation - as we see in Latvia, the world and their place in it. Do you think it is, or do not need a referendum on the euro?
I think that now, no matter how painful it would be and does not
