We have one main strategic goal - membership in the eurozone. We have made tremendous efforts to propose a Budget Law that meets the Maastricht criteria. We have also made incredible efforts to save the money under the PVP, which was trampled. We are eliminating the effect of the governments of the "Radev" model. This was said by the Minister of Finance Temenuzhka Petkova.
„With the budget, we have provided an opportunity for income growth. Our main task is to create the best possible conditions for business. Anyone who tries to hinder the achievement of the country's strategic goals must bear their responsibility. Bulgaria met the inflation criterion for March, there is no reason for concern about the opinion on our admission to the eurozone,” Petkova told NOVA.
She also commented on President Radev's words that “there is no 100 days of the “Zhelyazkov” cabinet, but a new beginning of the “Borisov” model. According to him, the most visible results are the seizure of elections, power and resources in an even more brutal way.
”President Radev has long participated in political life, and now he wants to take on the role of leader of the opposition because he advocates its theses. Bulgaria needs stabilization of the country's public finances, because after the “Radev” model; we had a hole in the budget of 18 billion and a contract with “Botas”. The President owes an answer for this contract, because because of it, out of 1.05 million leva every day go to Turkey. In addition, “Bulgargaz” is on the verge of bankruptcy. Under the “Radev” model, no infrastructure was built. I am very worried about what was bequeathed to us in the energy sector, public finances have been managed unwisely”, commented Petkova.
