A majority is needed to adopt the budget. The adoption or non-adoption of the budget is a political sign, which is equivalent to a vote of no confidence. The topic of regulators is another matter. I do not think that the budget should be discussed in the context of personnel appointments. It is not good to say - we will support this policy, you give us this post. You see that personnel appointments are still not happening and they are the topic of other conversations that are outside the budget.
This was stated on the show "Denyat na Zievo" on NOVA NEWS, the MP from GERB - SDS Toma Bikov, who commented on the frictions in the ruling majority.
"Borisov said today that if we do not act as a team, the old regulators will remain. Rosen Karadimov is a proposal from the BSP. He has been associated with this party since 1989 and I do not understand the PP's claims, but apparently they only have a memory for things that happened after 2020 and do not remember anything before this year. Rosen Karadimov is a proposal from the BSP and we accept this candidacy. If the budget does not pass, the government's work becomes meaningless. I still think that it will pass on first reading, but it is important that it also overlaps to a huge extent on second reading. If we radically reshape it on second reading, as has happened in recent years with the PP budgets, the government's work becomes meaningless," Bykov repeated.
"A coalition of three parties, which is supported by a fourth with desires for appointments in the second or third echelon of power, is doomed to creak. Another question is whether this creaking will lead to creaking. It is clear that this governance is difficult, but we must learn to make decisions together. There must be some mechanism for daily decision-making," he added.
