During these four years, we not only did not move forward, but even went backwards. We have been saying this for several years, but no one is listening. A minister, to become fit, must gain much experience. I don't want to charge you with pessimism. There is a way out and there are solutions to problems. This was stated by Tomislav Donchev from GERB, who together with party leader Boyko Borisov, Delyan Dobrev and Yordanka Fandakova are at a pre-election meeting in Haskovo, reports novini.bg.
"In recent years, there has only been talk - let's spend. You can't take from one to give to another and the state will get richer. The economic growth of the state is only 1.5%. That's the worrying thing. The key to the competitiveness of an economy is personnel. This means that the main topic should be education," he added.
"There can be no economic growth without quality education," added Fandakova for her part. "The connection between education and business is a must. Dual training is a good step. Investments in education must certainly continue, despite the troubling budget figures. I'm talking mainly about the teachers' salaries, which we have started to raise. I am talking about improving the qualifications of teachers. I'm talking about retaining young teachers. I am talking about investments in the construction of kindergartens and schools. Curricula must also be changed, there should be more time for practices and more educational practices in schools," she was emphatic.
"I am glad to see you," announced Boyko Borisov. "The colleagues have said a lot about the more important topics. You see Delian said that I have forbidden the use of offensive qualifications against our opponents. I want to explain why. It is not because we have a single leadership. It is certainly not correct for PP-DB to say - we raised incomes. This is not true. We all voted for the salary increase for teachers, policemen, military. This is because the "assembly" requires you to agree with the opinion of colleagues. No one can blame us for not defending the budget. Just in the "assembly" we surrendered to leftist ideas. In the absence of a coalition agreement that clearly spells out how much is going to be spent and where the money is going to come from, this is what happens -- you've seen the budget and the deficit figures. We've always said that you should spend as much as you can. spent If we are talking about joint management, we need to understand each other on these topics. We can't just borrow. We will return all this money. Do you imagine years ago, when GERB ruled, to talk about a hole of 15 billion in the budget? The media would kill us with questions," Borisov revealed.
"We cannot talk about an equally distant prime minister. Thus, political responsibility is not assumed. We played this film with Academician Denkov and Maria Gabriel. Even then, I told Asen, Kiril, Hristo Ivanov, Gen. Atanasov that we should be in the government and sign everything. Then it will be clear who is responsible. We can't even find equidistant people for regulators. How will we find a prime minister? The PP-DB themselves do not imagine this. If we play the game again with an equally distant prime minister, after 4-5 months we will gather here again and talk about how much more the country's indicators have fallen. Boyko Borisov was categorical.
"What Eurozone? I being the prime minister, we went into the waiting room and then the oligarchs came out in protest, took the money and disappeared. If this had not happened, we would have already entered the Eurozone. These are the facts. However, there is no talk of it now. There is talk of the arrest of Jeyhan Ibryamov. I cannot comment on whether this arrest is correct or incorrect. For me, the services work very well. There is an interior minister chosen by the president, but colleagues from PP-DB are still dissatisfied. I apologize to him for the tenth time. We listened to the PP-DB and you can see what a chaos it is, and the idea of changes was completely different," he added.
