A national goal should be to preserve national sovereignty. The issue of the Bulgarian lev is the issue of the Bulgarian state, because our financial system is directly related to the existence of the Bulgarian state. This was stated by the leader of the "Vazrazhdane" party, Kostadin Kostadinov, in the "Panorama" program on BNT.
“Currently, we only benefit from the positives of being tied to the euro. We are in a perfect situation, even Professor Steve Hanke - the father of the currency board - admits. Our currency board is so good and is given as an example throughout the world, because we decide our own internal policy without anyone interfering with us”, the politician explained.
The BNB has 72 billion leva. 30 billion will immediately go as a contribution to the ECB. No EU member state currently meets the conditions for membership in the eurozone, except Bulgaria. You cannot leave the eurozone, there is no such mechanism, that is why we say it is a trap with no way out, Kostadinov believes.
We look at the president as an institution. I have criticized the president many times back in the time when he criticized our arguments. The question boils down to the following - is there democracy in Bulgaria or not?, said the leader of “Vazrazhdane”.
This is not just a battle for the money of Bulgarians, but for that do we want Bulgaria to exist as a state or not?, Kostadinov also said.
