Yes, there are similar programs here. But they are not so blatantly.
For example, they gave out "pensions for invalidity" (a sum every month
if you are considered unable to work or for people too old to work.
It is not a secret that many of these were given for electoral reasons
and cluster in specific zones. Sometimes some of the recipients are
arrested because they should be blind and walk alone every day to buy
their newspaper driving a motorcar.
