The topic of “Foreign policy” is currently unlikely to be a problem for the government of Rosen Zhelyazkov. What the cabinet is doing is what we think as a party - firm European support, in friendship with Euro-Atlantic partners, and joint projects in the military-industrial sphere. This was commented on by GERB leader Boyko Borisov before the debates on the vote of no confidence against the government.
“After 4 years of caretaker governments - we have hit rock bottom. The hole in the budget is over 18 billion. Now, for the first time, I am swallowing something that GERB does not do - withhold VAT. Just so that they can collect the money, pay pensions and salaries. There is no cash in the state”, Borisov stressed.
“The one who sets out to overthrow the government must then say how he will do all this. It is not just about shouting “Let them go”. What will happen? Will this debt evaporate?”, he asked.
“The budget will be very difficult to implement - we need great will on the part of the state. Responsibility from all institutions. VAT revenues are 5% less. In Europe, the economic decline is very large. The recession is everywhere”, Borisov warned and stressed that “irresponsible exercises” are currently being made with demands for the government to fall.
The party leader accepts the behavior of “Democracy, Rights and Freedoms” as responsible - DPS, who yesterday decided to continue their support for the cabinet. “GERB has made so many compromises and we have not set conditions for anyone. To be fair, our conditions are two - the eurozone and the Recovery Plan”, explained Borisov.
