Assen Vassilev: It was clear that this government belongs to Peevski  - 1

We clearly stated that this cabinet is harmful to Bulgaria. We will submit a vote of no confidence the moment the report on the eurozone is released. Regarding anti-corruption - we see that this government has shortcomings, starting with the scandal in the Ministry of Internal Affairs with smuggling. This was stated on bTV by the co-chairman of "Continuing the Change" and former Finance Minister Assen Vassilev.

Regarding Boyko Borisov's words about their denunciations that put Peevski and Goranov on the "Magnitsky" list, he emphasized: "A ridiculous statement by Borisov. Peevski was put on the "Magnitsky" list two months after the "Borisov 3" cabinet fell. This was before we entered politics. This is information only from the services during the GERB government. There was no talk of removing him from the list during our cabinet. His removal from there occurs with the signature of the US President.“

Regarding the withdrawal of the DPS-DPS from the ruling majority, the PP co-chair commented: "The masks have fallen. It was clear that this government is Peevski's. This is a coalition between GERB, Peevski, BSP and ITN. The withdrawal of DPS-Dogan clearly shows that the last thing they were hiding behind is no longer there. This process has been clearly visible for a long time. A vote of no confidence provides an opportunity for political pressure on the government to commit fewer outrages. There was a big fuss about pensions, about medicines for children - then they corrected themselves.”

„There is no way to achieve a 30% growth in VAT revenues, as set in the budget. I expect the revenue side to grow by 14-15%. The expenditure side is also insanely inflated, I expect that no part of the expenses will be made. There is nothing to renegotiate for the second payment under the PVU, the three anti-corruption laws must be adopted, he added.

Regarding the sale of the reactors of the “Belene” NPP, Vassilev said: “They are not in the revenue section, because they are owned by BEH. It is much more profitable to build the other two units in “Kozloduy”. The first reason is the staff, the second - connectivity.”

“The problem with “Botaş” is huge. The obligation to pay every day has been introduced, regardless of whether we use something or not. It is for the rental of a pipe, not for the gas itself,” he is categorical.

“Eurostat” confirmed that the deficit on an accrual basis for last year was below 3%. Remember what a roar there was about the 18 billion. hole, then about 4 billion. unpaid debts – “Eurostat” exposed all those people who stressed people with non-existent holes. Lies have short legs – two or three months pass, the data comes out and it is clear that they have been lying for three months and filling people's heads with fears in order to cover up the thefts. Outside of the bloated capital program and other scandalous things like the lack of money for the second year of maternity, but there is money for “Lafka”. A blank check was voted, 7 billion. can be withdrawn to any enterprise they want,” said Asen Vassilev.
