The head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade called the program of food cards for the poor a dream
The head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Denis Manturov, said that the budget for 2017 may not include funds to launch a program of food assistance to the poor. “This is our dream, but it is rather difficult to say whether a decision will be made, since the budget is just beginning to form, and depends on how the concept is fully adopted,” he said. According to him, before the end of the year, the ministry plans to coordinate the financing of the program with other departments.
