„We must limit all public expenditures , which we do in the social system, in the pension system, the public expenditures of the state, remunerations. We are not at such a growth stage of the economy that we can afford such things.“
This is what Lubomir Karimanski said in the Euronews Primetime studio – financial expert, former deputy and chairman of the budget committee in the parliament.
The pension system should be solidary and fair, commented Karimanski in connection with the decision of the deputies to pay a supplement of BGN 100 for Easter only to pensioners who are below the poverty line.
Easter supplements are a populist decision, this does not follow a certain reform that exists in the pension system. It does not help pensioners.
„I have not heard a single economic or financial in-depth analysis in the parliament so far. "From no parliamentary group," Karimanski also said.
According to him, there is a terrible shortage of people who thoroughly understand what public finances are.
According to the expert, our country will not be able to enter the Eurozone on January 1, 2025.
