The more state, the more administration and distribution of our money, the more corruption and oligarchy there will be. This was stated by the co-chairman of “Blue Bulgaria“ Petar Moskov in the program “Offensive with Lyubo Ognyanov“ on NOVA NEWS.
According to him, the formation has no real competition in ideological terms, but only political opponents. “All the others offer the same thing - more state, more spending and more control over the economy. We offer the opposite - less state and more freedom for people and business“, Moskov emphasized.
He outlined the two main threats facing the country according to “Blue Bulgaria“. In his words, “strong power in the hands of one person means a total state and an appointed oligarchy“. “The first is the familiar model of sole power and control over institutions, and the second is the project for strong presidential power, which also carries the risk of lack of control“, he said.
Moskov said that the fight against corruption involves limiting the role of the state. “Fighting the mafia means less administration, fewer opportunities for distributing public funds and less intervention in the economy“, he pointed out.
According to him, the country is facing a difficult period. “Times of economic instability, inflation and social tensions lie ahead. The time of cowardly politicians who simply hand out money to survive is over,“ shared Moskov.
He added that “bold and reformist governance“ is needed, in which “Blue Bulgaria“ can be a driving force.
With regard to economic measures, Moskov defended the idea of serious structural changes. According to him, the reduction of administration and reforms in public systems will allow for a gradual reduction in the tax burden. “Large infrastructure projects should be implemented with private investments, and not through state allocation of funds, which creates corrupt practices“, he explained. And he added: “After these changes, VAT can start to decrease from 20 to 19, and then to 18%. This should happen naturally, through a working economy, and not with populist promises“.
