Yotova: These 3% deficits in the 2025 budget, which the Prime Minister promised, will have their price - 1

I do not think it is fatal to delay the budget by one week. Moreover, the so-called medium-term financial forecast for 4 years should actually be presented. What we heard today from the Minister of Finance. I do not know why the report has not been done by now, but I am inclined to believe the government for the reason. It is more important to see what will be written in this plan-account. This was stated by Vice President Iliana Yotova, quoted by Nova TV.
„These 3% deficit in the 2025 budget, which the Prime Minister promised, will have their price and we will see what it will be. I do not want to believe that social payments and benefits for people will be cut. The controversy and dialogue continue to suffer from one main question - What policy will be implemented with this budget? It is an instrument. There are not only tables and figures, there must also be policies“, she added.
The Vice President believes that an agreement has been reached with the European partners for this one week and, accordingly, the deadlines for requesting a convergent report. „We are waiting for the results of the National Statistical Institute, as well as Eurostat on inflation. I dare to hope that everything is on schedule“, Yotova emphasized.
