Acad. Nikolay Denkov on the DPS proposal for Easter supplements: It is being done pre-election

If there is no extension law on the budget, Bulgaria remains unclear about how salaries and pensions will be paid and everything hangs in the air

This is something that a regular government should do, the co-chairman of the PG of "Continuing the Change-Democratic Bulgaria" Nikolay Denkov told journalists in connection with the intention of "DPS-New Beginning" to introduce changes to the Law on the State Social Security Budget, which provide for Easter supplements for pensioners below the poverty line, Novini.bg reported.

This has its logic, I also support it as a long-term policy, but now is not the time. It is clear that this is being done for election purposes, Denkov said.

If there is no extension law for the budget, Bulgaria will be left without clarity on how salaries and pensions will be paid, and everything is hanging in the air. It is very important that the extension law is adopted, he said.

We assume that the acting finance minister knows best what the calculations are and what is possible, so whatever they submit – we will support that, added Nikolay Denkov.
