The hard-right backtrack on spending levels by the government has left a sour taste with their colleagues in the public and private sectors as they have faced their ire. The sharp decrease in spending on public services and social security comes at a time when the economy has improved, leaving many to question the motives behind the decision. Many have criticized the government for their myopic view of the economy and prioritizing short-term gains at the expense of long-term stability and growth. The move has left many within the public feeling betrayed and frustrated as there commitment to the greater good seems to have been forgotten. This has led to a lack of trust and strong criticism from individuals who work in the public sector and members of the opposition parties.
