The answer is relatively easy to see after the announcements of the finance minister a few months ago that the discrepancy between income and expenses is quite unpleasant &ndash ; 18 billion leva. This is what he said in the show "Face to Face" on bTV the former Minister of Finance Vladislav Goranov in response to a question about the hesitation of acting Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev whether to submit the draft budget for 2025. or to wait for a regular government.
If they present new accounts these days and they are more optimistic, that's good news, but it's unheard of. The government must justify their silence, because until now they said there was no problem. A hole is always a hole, and when you repeated like a mantra that there is no problem, you should either tell the truth or say that two months ago you spoke during the election, added Goranov, quoted by novini.bg.
He was adamant that the caretaker government should propose a budget for next year. Not proposing a budget is an escape from responsibility and a prerequisite for a more serious crisis, the former finance minister stressed.
The budget is a political document, we have to see the accounts that the government proposes, because for months we have been observing experiments to throw things at individual sectors. It is clear that the trouble has been done. All parties are to blame, especially those parties and finance ministers who put the budget at risk and the National Assembly had to defend the budget from the finance minister who thinks he can get rich with debt. We are talking about Asen Vasilev, who allowed volunteerism in the public space, for which we pay, but it is very important that Glavchev does not run away from responsibility and propose a budget. If they fail, they must propose measures and put them on the table, said Vladislav Goranov.
If nothing is done, there are many welfare payments that cannot be made. If the government is tempted not to propose a budget or to propose an extended budget, we will be in a pretty big mess, he warned.
According to Goranov, there are only two scenarios in this parliament - forming a majority between GERB – SDS, "We continue the change – Democratic Bulgaria", BSP and "There is such a people" or electing a nominal chairman and very quickly going to new elections.
