Nothing fatal happened. It is normal for people to be absent – there were five people sick from our PG. We will submit the proposal again and again until we can gather the necessary majority. This was stated by PP-DB MP Andrey Tsekov in connection with the insufficient support in the hall for the creation of a temporary commission on the activities of Delyan Peevski and his mother Irena Krasteva, quoted by novini.bg.
„It is absurd for Asen Vassilev to get along with Delyan Peevski. One of Vassilev's close people – Lachezar Stavrev, his driver, has been in custody for the third month on the insane accusations of the prosecutor's office by Peevski,” he emphasized.
He reaffirmed the PP's position: “A budget with a 3% deficit and a normal level of spending can be supported at first reading. Between the two readings we will have a serious dialogue. There is no shortage of 18 billion anywhere. There is a failure to implement the capital program with 3.2 billion, and it is also clear why – it is described that we have not received the second and third payment under the PVU.”
Regarding the boycott of large chains planned for today, Tsekov specified: “The rule in the EU is that we are an economy of free competition – the state does not interfere, but we have antitrust authorities. There have been price distortions for years. Do you know what the average price of a liter of milk is in our country? In euros – 1.59. And what is the average for the EU? 1.25 euros. This is 27% more in our country. This is the second highest price in the EU. We import only 10% of the raw material.”
“I would not allow myself to draw a conclusion about where the problem lies. It is not fair that we pay 30% more than any other citizen in Europe”, he is categorical.
