Hope has won. In many regions, courage has won over fear. We are noticing a turnaround in statistics in some traditional bastions of the MRF. Hope for a fairer Bulgaria has won. This was stated by Ivo Hristov from "Progressive Bulgaria" (PB) in the program "Panorama" on BNT.
PB is positioned to the left of center because there are a large number of homeless, unrepresented voters there. Our manifesto includes the values of freedom, solidarity, and justice. Bulgaria needs these three pillars, which in a neoliberal world are severely undermined, and society needs them, he specified.
We must deal with our own ideological corpus, and not seek to fit into some ready-made ideological mold. We have the courage to think without complexes and find solutions to Bulgarian problems, and in three years we will see what stage Europe is at, the ideological landscape in Europe, and then we will choose our political family, Hristov pointed out.
Reducing prices is a priority task and currently the PB economic team is working on measures in this direction. It is important to remember why this price increase started. Because there was no referendum, because the country was not ready for the adoption of the euro and this increase was predictable. It has happened everywhere where the euro has been introduced, and in our country, with the weakness of the institutions, it becomes dramatic. The introduction of the euro is always accompanied by a rise in prices, the politician believes.
Prices in a market economy are not brought down by state command methods. A price ceiling has been used in some countries. The entire arsenal of possibilities must be used, but this will be decided by economists. We must be careful as consumers.
