A month has passed since the beginning of the "Zhelyazkov" cabinet. There is still no management program, but there will probably be a new budget and regulators soon. These are the two topics that the ruling majority has been working on in recent days.
It is a matter of days to officially present the budget, he said in „This Saturday“ Deputy Chairman of the GERB-SDF Parliamentary Group Raya Nazaryan.
„Last year, due to the lack of a regular government, a regular budget was not adopted, as is normal practice for good governance, namely that the budget be adopted before the budget year or at the latest in December of the previous year“, said Nazaryan.
„At the moment, the regular government has had to withdraw the budget due to unrealistic data in it and prepare another one in a more extreme mode of work in order to be able to propose real, working measures that would lead to the stabilization of public finances“, she commented.
Nazaryan called the speculation that GERB is delaying and sabotaging the budget “a form of manipulation of people who failed to become part of the government“.
„The regular government will is a guarantor of collecting more revenues in the state, namely by strengthening the functions of the state's control, regulatory and supervisory bodies, which must collect these revenues“, said Raya Nazaryan, adding that GERB-SDF will not reduce salaries, nor cancel already made commitments.
She stated that there are huge - about 4 billion, unfulfilled commitments from the previous budget for 2024, which must be provided for in this budget.
“The budget was withdrawn because it included some unrealistic measures. Now those that are realistic will be included so that the budget can be implemented“, said Raya Nazaryan.
