From "Vazrazhdane“ we made a new budget to show that we have the managerial capacity to govern the country. We have argued it extremely well in each of the 38235 proposed amendments.
This was stated to FOCUS by the leader of the political party "Vazrazhdane“ Kostadin Kostadinov.
"By reducing the funding of individual institutions to a minimum, such as reducing the budget of the prosecutor's office by half, and continuing from there with a variety of institutions, while at the same time increasing the funding of other institutions that we consider important, such as the Court of Accounts, for example, "Vazrazhdane" shows how billions can be saved in the budget," he pointed out and explained that this way of redistributing funds in the budget saves 3 billion, "which shows that there is money in the state, it is simply not being spent properly".
According to him, the only opposition party in parliament is "Vazrazhdane", since the opposition PP-DB votes en masse with GERB. "This configuration of PP-DB, GERD and Peevski's MRF is obviously very strong. There, as they say, "old love never rusts". Until last year, they governed together, it is obvious that they continue to want to govern together. So we cannot talk about other opposition parties, except "Vazrazhdane", and we cannot expect support from them in this line of thought."
According to him, it cannot be said in any way that there is a cordon around "Vazrazhdane", arguing his words by the fact that when voting on the budget, other parties, such as PP-DB, followed the example of "Vazrazhdane" to vote "Against". "It happens quite often that we lead the debate and we are the ones who set the tone for the discussions in parliament. Our parliamentary group for 2024 is the most active in the Bulgarian parliament and we are the ones who not only talk the most, but also make the most proposals. The vast majority of the committees work for "Vazrazhdane" – if we are not inside these committees, believe me, they simply will not work.“
If we adopt the euro, Bulgaria will die, the leader of "Vazrazhdane" is categorical. "Does it matter after that who was right and who was wrong, since Bulgaria will practically no longer exist as a country? If we enter the Eurozone, firstly, inflation will blow up absolutely all our income and savings. The second thing is that we will no longer have our own money, because in practice it will be a foreign currency. And the third thing, which is Bulgaria's budget, will no longer matter at all who proposes it and who votes for it, because first of all it must be approved by the ECB, these are a few people that no one elected and for whom no one voted. And at some point it will turn out that even if I had the desire, I would not be able to do anything without the approval of the ECB. Whoever has money, let him take a last look at it, because if Bulgaria enters the eurozone, this money will no longer be his.“
Kostadin Kostadinov also added that the Eurozone itself is in a huge recession. “Deutsche Bank ended this year with a huge loss. A plan is being prepared by the European Central Bank to save France. Italy, which is the other major economy within the Eurozone, has been in constant stagnation for the third year. Realistically, the Eurozone is in such a debt-ridden and catastrophic state that if any of the countries within it decided to apply for membership at the moment, it would not be able to meet its own requirements“.
According to him, our eventual entry into the Eurozone would be a product of falsification and violence against the Bulgarian people, because the inflation and growth data do not correspond to the truth. “We will warn all the time: don't, we will crash, we will sink, we will perish. The only thing that will be left for us after this is simply to seize power in the fastest way possible, to punish the people who carried out the coup d'état in the republic, i.e. GERB, PP-DB, DPS, and then to immediately take the country out of the Eurozone and file a lawsuit for huge material damages against the European Commission.“
