Delyan Peevski and the circle around him want to buy "Lukoil" so that they can take full control over the enterprises. It reminds me of the 90s, when the scoundrels stood at the entrance and exit of the enterprises and drained them. We propose a 15% cut in the state administration - this administration that was raised by GERB and in which one does not grow in terms of how capable you are, but how obedient you are.
This was said on the show "Face to Face" by the MP from "We continue the change - Democratic Bulgaria" Yordan Ivanov in connection with the idea of the state acquiring the "Lukoil Neftochim" refinery in Burgas, launched yesterday by "DPS - New Beginning" and MECH.
The way in which the topic is raised raises very serious suspicions, the way in which they do it, not market and democratic, without discussion, without committees - they want to do it from the foot of the door, he added.
He also commented on the allegations about the government that the situation with state finances is difficult because of their management in the last 4 years.
It is not the first time that colleagues from GERB and Borisov draw apocalyptic scenarios so that they can come out as saviors. No matter how scary the situation is when they reduce the VAT for restaurateurs to 9%, how scary it is when they accumulate expenses through 50% salary increases in the Ministry of Internal Affairs "on a whim". This is schizophrenic, they will be held responsible for this. We call on them to introduce a budget of 3%, not to artificially blow it up. My big fear is that GERB will take actions to sabotage the eurozone, because their actions speak of this, said the MP from "Continuing Change - Democratic Bulgaria".
In his words, salaries in the state sector should be increased, but after reforms have been carried out.
We propose a 15% cut in the state administration - this administration that was raised by GERB and in which you do not grow in terms of how capable you are, but how obedient you are. We also propose it because Sofia is the only city in which salaries in the private sector are higher than salaries in the state sector. The state, in the most perverse way, creates competition for the private sector with the money with which it creates the fiscal budget. We propose that the cut be made over a period of 3 years. We will propose this because it is fair to Bulgarian citizens, emphasized Yordan Ivanov.
The national interest is for "Lukoil" to be acquired by a company with clear capital and clear ownership. This will minimize the risks to national security. It is reasonable to hold a conversation to ensure that the pipes remain state property. A normal, constructive conversation must begin in parliament, go through committees and make a reasoned decision, stated Ivanov.
