“Yes, but no. We still do NOT meet the price criterion for entering the eurozone. By a little, but we are above the norm. Denkov is misleading“ - this is what financier and former Finance Minister Simeon Djankov commented on his Facebook profile.
“We are close to meeting the inflation criterion for entering the eurozone - according to today's data, we are 0.15% away from the coveted price threshold. If inflation does not jump up in January. But despite Glavchev's much praise, we still cannot request a report from the European Commission“, he explained again a few days ago.
The new thesis of the PP-DB is that our country has already fulfilled the criterion and the government is deliberately delaying the request for a conference report in order to sabotage entry into the eurozone.
“Over the past four years, all obstacles to Bulgaria's path to the eurozone have been removed. Through Assen Vassilev's budgets, we managed to meet the inflation criteria. Bulgaria was admitted to the waiting room in 2020, but from 2018 to today, Bulgaria has met the inflation criterion for the first time. So when Borisov was responsible for the budget, with his budgets, we did not meet the inflation criterion necessary to meet the Eurozone“, Denkov claims.
