Tomorrow, there will be no public transport in Sofia from 4:00 to 12:00. The protest may continue after 12:00, if we judge. The metro will work, but it will also stop at the next protest. There is no decision yet when the next protest will be. Everything depends on tomorrow.
This was said on the show "Denyat na Live" on NOVA NEWS by the chief economist of the "Podkrepa" Atanas Katsarchev, who commented on the upcoming protest of public transport workers in Sofia tomorrow.
"People will have a hard time going to work, but this is the responsibility of Mayor Vasil Terziev. He must negotiate with the Ministry of Finance. The mayor is once again conveniently shifting everything onto the Ministry of Finance. Let them explain to the people that they will not receive a salary increase because we must comply with a 3% budget deficit. These people have nothing to put on their table, and we must comply with some strategic goals for a 3% deficit. Enough pork for the government, and bran for the workers. And we already want some of the pork", he was categorical.
"In agriculture, we are also ready for protests and a strike. The situation there is also tragic. I am talking about the regional forestry directorates, forestry enterprises. There are salaries there of 1,200 leva. "The national media will also protest on Friday and block the intersection in front of Sofia University. The situation is bad everywhere. Things have worsened after the Covid crisis," Katsarchev revealed.
