A colorful cabinet with a leaning towards the PP. There are some from the APS, some from previous GERB cabinets. They have such a short time to act that even if political biases exist, they will not have the opportunity to be clearly manifested.
This reading was made by the Chairman of the Fiscal Council and former Finance Minister Simeon Dyankov in an interview with the Bulgarian National Radio.
The caretaker government includes politicians with previous experience - directly or at the second level, and previous successes, but from day one it starts with populism - an unnecessary deputy prime minister for fair elections. It is not the job of the Council of Ministers to deal with elections, it is the job of the CEC. This is the wrong signal, he said.
"Overall, there is ministerial inflation, 40%. As we go, it will become: minister – relative, minister-relative", warned Dyankov about the number of ministers in the caretaker government compared to the government in which he himself participated years ago.
In the program "12+3" The Chairman of the Fiscal Council commented that the actual deficit is over 5% and expressed hope that we will move towards a budget with a zero deficit, but specified that the Minister of Finance "will not have time to do anything about it".
Simeon Dyankov made a recommendation in the extension of the extension budget "that there should be no unnecessary spending, no gimmicks".
If they release all civil servants of post-retirement age - about 6,000 in all ministries, about 300 million euros will be released, that is, 160-180 million euros will be found, necessary for the elections, Dyankov explained, referring to analyses of the Fiscal Council, which will be sent to the Ministry of Finance.
In order to be a competitive economy, business must work better, and not expand the public sector. It is good to still have energy subsidies for business, Dyankov believes.
Temenuzhka Petkova managed to juggle all political desires in a difficult situation. She spoke too rosily about the euro, but "the truth is that we have a much larger deficit," he emphasized.
