Bulgaria has long chosen its European path of development, having assumed a valid obligation to participate in the monetary union with the ratification of the Accession Treaty and its entry into force. The National Assembly, legitimately elected by Bulgarian citizens, adopted all the necessary decisions for accession to the eurozone. The Constitutional Court in 2024 ruled categorically that holding a referendum on the adoption of the euro is constitutionally inadmissible. And whether our country is ready to join the eurozone is clear from the convergence reports of the European Commission and the European Central Bank, Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov said in his position.
The Bulgarian government is making, and I as Prime Minister will continue to make, every effort for the country to join the eurozone. Because I am confident that in this way we will guarantee Bulgarian citizens the brightening and increase of the competitiveness of the economy, the stabilization of public finances, the lowering of interest rates, confidence in investors and many other benefits. But the most important benefit is that democracy will have no alternative, adds the Bulgarian Prime Minister.
"I believe that it is categorically unacceptable for President Rumen Radev to draw his future political project in an electoral race with "Vazrazhdane" and through his "Majesty" on the back of the future of Bulgarian citizens. This behavior, with its unpredictability, has created bewilderment in the European institutions", emphasizes Rosen Zhelyazkov.
That is why, as Prime Minister of the Republic of Bulgaria, I call on all members of the National Assembly in the 51st National Assembly, who are convinced that Bulgaria must complete its path of full integration into the European Union by joining the eurozone, to prove this with their votes in the National Assembly", the Bulgarian Prime Minister also stated.
