The solution of social problems, a look at mass actions, the lack of statistics of the rich in Azerbaijan, and obstacles to the development of entrepreneurship are the main topics of today's media.
The Azerbaijan newspaper writes about the priority of solving social problems for the authorities. According to the author, economic reforms in Azerbaijan make it possible to receive additional financial incomes, which are primarily directed at improving the well-being of the population.
As specific examples, the increase in the minimum wage from 130 to 180 manat is indicated, which will cover 600 thousand people.
In addition, from March 1, it is planned to increase the minimum pensions from 116 to 160 manat.
Over the past 15 years, wages in the country increased 7 times, pensions increased 9 times, 3,200 schools were overhauled, 640 medical institutions were built, 2 million new workplaces were opened, and lump sum allowances of 11,000 manat were paid to martyr families.
The website Azadliq.info writes about the importance of holding protest rallies. Political analyst Nasimi Mammadli believes that protest rallies are the only legitimate field for a peaceful political struggle. All other venues are under total control of the authorities. According to him, the majority of civil active people understand the importance of rallies.
There is great social discontent in the country, as well as political activity. In such a situation, the authorities must ensure freedom of assembly. Failure to do that will put the authorities in a difficult situation.
A large number of people are expected to attend the upcoming rally, although the authorities will again try to prevent this.
The website Bizimyol.info publishes material on the deepening of social inequality in the country. So, last year in the world the rich became even richer by 12% percent, and the poor became poorer by 11%.
There are no statistics of rich people in Azerbaijan - billionaires, multimillionaires and millionaires, and it is necessary to operate with unofficial data. At the same time, the names of a number of state officials and business monopolists appear, which is associated with the prosperity of the shadow economy, corruption and monopoly.
According to experts, the stratification of society is rapidly deepening in Azerbaijan, although official statistics show the opposite.
The website Oxu.az writes about the inaction of the courts for the protection of entrepreneurs.
MP Vahid Ahmedov notes that it is necessary to adopt the Code of Competition, which will ease the position of the business. In addition, the courts must objectively consider the treatment of entrepreneurs. Currently, 90% of business claims are rejected.
