Developments on the topic of Budget 2026 are expected, NOVA reported.
After last Thursday the government announced that they were withdrawing the budget plan for next year, a day later it became clear that the budget procedure was only frozen and would be restarted when an agreement is reached between the social partners and the state.
This was also the reason for the many thousands of protests across the country. Last week it became clear that employers, some of whom supported the first protest against the budget, are demanding the abolition of increases in pension contributions, dividend tax and the maximum insurance threshold. The last two, according to the GERB leader's request, will be a reason for a concession.
The unions, on the other hand, want salaries in the underfunded state sectors to be raised by 10, not 5 percent. It is expected that the participants in the negotiations will meet again and announce where they have found the “golden ratio“.
