The income needed to support a family in our country is increasing. At least 2738 leva per month is needed to support a three-member family. The Confederation of Bulgarian Trade Unions (CITUB) has issued a request for protests.
"If we want 10%, serious budget reforms need to be made. It is still possible. If they are not made, the other will be an update in September. If there are no reforms, there is no money for a significant percentage increase in income, but there is a possibility that this can be achieved with reforms", commented Prof. Alexander Tomov from "BSP-United Left" in the program "Denyat ON AIR".
The gray sector can be reduced
"The question is to reduce one group of expenses. There is a second reserve, a large one, that we have over 50 billion leva in the gray sector. There are opportunities for it to shrink and lead to greater revenues in the budget. This is about to happen. This government saved the great crisis. Every party that puts the state above itself should have participated in this government. The coalition compromise gives Bulgaria a chance to move towards greater stabilization," explained Prof. Tomov.
According to him, the government has two options. One - to collapse in the fall, if there is no Eurozone, upswing and reforms. The second - if partial stabilization is achieved and a process of restoring people's trust begins - to last until the presidential elections.
"The country needs stabilization. People do not want new elections, not only because they are tired of voting, but we cannot stabilize the economy if there is no government. It could have led not only to protests by the Confederation of Bulgarian Trade Unions, but also by police, the army, and teachers. I have known Plamen Dimitrov for many years. It is right to demand an increase in income. We have fallen behind due to a wrong strategy over the last two decades,", Prof. Tomov is categorical.
The world is changing
"Two major changes are happening to this generation. If we do not take measures, we will remain the extreme periphery of Europe. This is dangerous because we could lose the nation. I am fighting for an upswing. Currently, there is an opportunity, due to global relocations, to take part of the world's wealth. It is necessary to have ten literate people who work together. There are them. The government can lay the foundations, it does not have the resources to fight all corruption in the country. We need a new prosecutor, prosecutor's office, Supreme Judicial Council. The distrust is great", summarized Prof. Tomov.
According to him, bold decisions are mandatory.
"It is a big mistake that Dogan's group left the majority. A mistake for them", the guest analyzed.
