Objection to the 1.5 million Kalaberg payment standard / a user of Safir Arjan: "You can't live with 20 million"
The analysis of the messages of Safir Arjan's users shows that a group of these people protested the setting of the income limit of 20 million tomans for the investigation of Kalaberg beneficiaries.
According to Ambassador Arjan's report, the announcement of the criteria for identifying households subject to the credit increase of Kalaberg has faced different reactions from the users of Ambassador Arjan.
Hassan Nowrozi, the CEO of Subsidies Targeting Organization, has announced that households without property and cars, whose total monthly income is less than 20 million Tomans, are among the groups under investigation to receive support. According to his explanation, bank transactions are also evaluated along with household economic information.
One of the main axes of the reactions is the lowness of the declared income ceiling compared to the cost of living.
A user who did not include his name, referring to inflation, wrote: "Hello, so we must say Mashala to this economy and our economists who base 20 million tomans with all these high prices and rampant inflation."
Another user clearly wrote: "20 Tomans is too little."
Another comment says: "Can you live with 20 million?"
These reactions show that for a part of the audience, the issue is not just determining the income ceiling; They believe that the support criteria should be proportional to the real cost of living of households. From the point of view of this group, the income that may be higher than the set limit in administrative calculations does not necessarily mean enjoying economic well-being.
Narrative of a 68-year-old tenant; "The distribution of subsidies is not fair at all"
One of the longest comments on the page was written by a user named "Ali"; He complains about his living situation, renting and being in the 9th decile.
In explaining his condition, Ali wrote that he is 68 years old, he is a tenant in Shiraz, and he lives in a 30-meter parking lot. According to him, his only asset is a worn-out Pride that he works with in an internet taxi. He has also mentioned the situation of his children and the concern of cutting off part of the subsidy received.
This user writes in a part of his comment: "In my opinion, the distribution of subsidies is not fair at all because I am not weaker than myself, but I am in the ninth decile."
Her story exemplifies a concern raised in the comments: Can income and asset information accurately reflect people's real life circumstances, including rent, age, employment status, and family responsibilities?
Retirees under rent and cost of living pressure
The issue of retirees has also been specifically mentioned in one of the comments.
An anonymous user criticized the declared income criteria and wrote: "Declare from the very beginning who it belongs to, why are you bothering so many people who are below the poverty line."
Referring to the situation of retirees, he writes that many of them have salaries higher than 20 million tomans, but a large part of their income is spent on house rent and living expenses.
Should Kalaberg reach all households?
In addition to protesting the income ceiling, some users have asked about the principle of limiting the scope of support.
One of the audience wrote: "Wasn't this help supposed to reach everyone?"
Another user also believes that the increase in subsidies and kalaberg should be given to more households. In his comment, it is stated: "The income of the Batoram household is not proportional, the increase in the subsidy of lawyers and leaves should be given to most of the households."
On the other hand, one of the users emphasized the necessity of checking the economic conditions of the applicants and wrote: "Very true." It must be proven that the person is in need to get help."
Are workers included in the list of beneficiaries?
Users have also paid attention to the situation of workers. One of the audience wrote: "Give the workers more than 20 tomans with overtime."
Among the comments, an anonymous user has reacted to the news with this sentence: "Control inflation, you don't need to raise subsidies."
From this user's point of view, financial support can have a lasting effect when it is accompanied by inflation control. Otherwise, the increase in support credit may not be able to sustainably compensate for the increase in household expenses.
In addition to these criticisms, some users have considered the principle of examining the economic status of households to be essential. Therefore, reactions are not uniform; But the common question of a significant part of the opinions is whether the declared criteria can correctly reflect the real situation of households.
For a household that spends most of its income on rent, treatment, and essential expenses, crossing a certain income ceiling does not necessarily mean enjoying welfare. On the other hand, targeting support also requires clear and measurable criteria.
