“Secondly, Mr. Raguzis, changing the basis of his criticism of the government today, since it has now become clear that there is no question of legitimacy, claims that a particular ministerial decision was issued fraudulently. Answer: Obviously not.

Because what kind of fraud can there be when 18 vacancies are advertised, and only two are paid? There was an excess of demand, not supply, so a Russfetological solution was needed. OSE asked employees to move and no one was interested. Who should be bribed and why?

Finally, it is worth noting in any case that the age limits set for recruits, and not for those who are transferred, are not age limits after which employment ceases, but age limits for employment. It is obvious that the newly hired, no matter what age limit they are, continue to work until retirement, without any the question of their physical abilities provide a job.”
