Petar Slavov: The rulers deserve admiration for the return of fully machine voting

For me, it is more important that the authorities do everything possible and correct this proposed deficit of 5.7%.

Ninova: They still don't have an adopted budget, but they've already taken out a second billion-billion loan

Radev's government took out another loan. This was announced by Galab Donev in the National Assembly. A new 2.5 billion euro debt has been placed on the shoulders of generations of Bulgarians.
They have not yet adopted a budget, and they have already taken out a second billion-euro loan.
If until now we were paying 300-400 million in interest, now it is over 1 billion.
The more important question is where this money goes? It is not in the economy, it is not in agriculture, nor in the water supply network, in social policy. It is not in culture. The co-payment in hospitals continues. Everything on the market is becoming more expensive. Social payments are frozen. The explanation of the rulers remains: "we are continuing the policies of the previous cabinet". They continue to pay according to the old schemes, to the old companies, in the old corruption pits. So, is this the progressive change?
