The vote of no confidence that “Vazrazhdane“ is planning will obviously not pass. The result is predetermined and the euro will be introduced in Bulgaria. This was stated by former Prime Minister Sergey Stanishev in the program “Crossroads on Nova News.
This year there has been a very significant increase in spending as a share of the gross domestic product and the budget is quite strained. I hope the government will cope with these high goals that have been set and that we will fit into the three percent deficit, Stanishev explained.
In general, in recent years there has been a competition among all political forces as to who will promise more and give more, given the general dislike of politicians by voters. That is why they try to be generous, which puts such a budget under pressure and obviously this has a price, he added.
We must be realistic. People are worried and generally afraid of the unknown, they are used to the Bulgarian lev and have their concerns about the euro. Especially since this was happening in Bulgaria in recent months in Italy and Croatia before they entered the eurozone. When inflation expectations are created, traders say to themselves: Why don't we raise prices a little, am I the stupidest, the former prime minister continued.
I have always said that when there are fears from everyone, even the most absurd question of the people must be answered. They must be answered very clearly and transparently, and the most important thing is to take measures against artificial speculation and price increases, which are unjustified, Sergey Stanishev was categorical.
