Dimitar Manolov: We proposed tying the amount of social security to the standard of living, not to the poverty line  - 1

The major weakness of the minimum wage project is that it links the minimum wage to the poverty line. Most of the wages are linked to the MHRA, and if it is frozen, there is a possibility that incomes will not increase either. We proposed tying the amount of the MHI to the standard of living. This is what the president of CT “Support“ Dimitar Manolov in “Your Day” on NOVA NEWS. He indicated that talks on the subject are forthcoming.
Regarding the budget for next year, Manolov is of the opinion that “all conversations on this topic are frivolous”. “This decision is political, it can be taken by an official cabinet, but often it is not a good decision”, added Manolov.
On the topic of optimizing the number of employees in the state administration, he believes that “these are empty stories” and there is no need for such actions. “There are people who receive salaries from the budget, but they are not officials, but doctors, policemen, etc.“, Manolov also said.

He said what could get the unions to protest is if a restrictive income policy is imposed. “We are ready, not in the process of being ready”, Manolov also stated.
