„GERB has not stopped working for Bulgaria's entry into the eurozone. We are making every effort, both in the person of Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov and the entire government. After we covered the last criterion, our country sent a request to the EC and the ECB for convergence reports and now we are waiting for the decisions.“ This was stated by GERB leader Boyko Borisov to the youth from the „European Student Democrats“ (EDS), which are holding the organization's Winter University in Sofia, reports the GERB press center.
In front of over 60 young people from 20 EU member states, Borisov stated that GERB has the strongest youth organization in the country.
„The party has 5 MEPs, a European Commissioner for Innovation and Research - Ekaterina Zaharieva. In addition, the Bulgarian representative in the European Court of Auditors is also nominated by GERB. That is why we are among the leading parties in the European People's Party and our personnel are properly evaluated and occupy key positions in Europe“, Borisov added.
„Europe is in a very complicated situation. What is being said about imposing 25% tariffs by the US on the EU will affect the European economy. On the one hand, the burden of strengthening Ukraine will fall mainly on Europe, and these are huge funds for the member states, our social systems, our infrastructure and our projects“, Borisov also told the youth from EDS.
“I am convinced that the new administration of President Donald Trump, who is a good friend of mine, and the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen will find common ground and the strategic partnership between the US and the EU will continue“, Boyko Borisov emphasized.
