I'd agree that this would be an accomplishment if it would be implemented in a sustainable way. Unfortunately, while the GDP increased in the last years, the governments spendings also increased and that at a significantly higher rate. And as the country is excluded from the international financial markets, the holy grail is to use the money of the pension fund. Now add to an already unbalanced system that won't sustain a few years a little recession and you don't need to be an oracle to predict an outcome that won't be very pleasant. In the presidents defense, however, one has to see that it's not so easy to understand Economics 101 if one doesn't have mastered the Math 101 class yet.
