GERB-SDF will make all kinds of compromises, but until January 1 next year. This was stated to journalists by the party leader Boyko Borisov, quoted by Nova TV. The reason for making concessions is their strategic goal - Bulgaria's entry into the eurozone.
"After that, the GERB parliamentary group will stand its ground and will not make any more compromises”, he explained.
„We continue the Change” are constantly melting Bulgaria. Not only have they brought us to a financial collapse in these 4 years, but now they are working against our admission to the eurozone and the convergence report", the GERB leader believes.
„Regardless of the number of MPs, decisions are made together with the other two parties. When one of them has a new chairman who insists on this Swiss rule happening at all costs, we agreed that we must respect the request in question. The debt of 18 billion will become 19. Everyone knows that. They know the hole in the budget”, he explained.
„When the finance minister is obliged by the troika that governs to accept the „Swiss rule”, I cannot hold him responsible for where he will find the money. "Will he cut projects or take on more debt," the GERB leader claims.
He commented on the case of the calculator gifted by Asen Vassilev. The reason was that according to the PP co-chairman, the new draft budget is "absolutely scandalous."
"I can assure Mr. Vassilev that we have not hidden anything from Brussels. We have not lied. We will follow Bulgaria's strategic goal for the eurozone," Borisov explained. He added that, fortunately, the PP's influence is decreasing.
When asked if GERB would propose changes to the budget between the first and second readings, he responded as follows:
„From what I see in the budget, there is neither the renovation, nor the infrastructure facilities, nor the money for the municipalities that Asen Vassilev said were provided”.
Regarding the boycott of food chains, Borisov specified that the state is already taking measures and conducting inspections.
