You cannot vote for this budget and say that you support working people. This was stated to "This Morning" on bTV by Dobromir Ivanov, executive director of BESCO.
Petar Ganev from IME does not believe that Budget 2026 will be changed in any way.
"Another budget is possible. We also presented one that includes several clauses with a concession in the direction of investments, not a concession in the direction of the lottery."
"I expect this proposal to blow up the situation, since it is close to the people, the lottery has a long history and is very similar to an attempt to rob the casino, but the main characters are not Brat Pitt and George Clooney", he added about the ruling party's proposal to give the lottery a concession for 15 years.
"Politicians are brave in reforms that benefit the political class", the IME representative also believes.
According to Ivanov, we should move towards concessions and privatization, but starting with the lottery is the wrong move.
"It should be given as a concession where there is a need for private investment", Ganev also revealed.
