Obviously, there are serious problems in Sofia. In less than a month, we will have an open door to the eurozone. This is a victory for our nation. This is the right and good decision for Bulgaria. This was stated by former Deputy Prime Minister Prof. Alexander Tomov in the program “From the Day“ on BNT.
If the referendum proposed by Radev is implemented, we will have nonsense. There is a contradiction in the question itself. The only thing that can happen is to postpone our entry into the eurozone. We could have held a referendum 2 or 4 years ago. Then the president had a different position. This will not help him for any political project, the politician emphasized.
Bulgaria stands higher than your party, even if you love it, emphasized Prof. Tomov. According to him, the eurozone is not the price for the BSP to participate in power.
You can pursue social policy despite the euro. Very effective control can be made so that prices do not increase. There are mechanisms to combat speculation. We need a comprehensive government program for the transition to the euro, he emphasized.
A very small part of the reserve will go to the ECB, perhaps about one billion. It is impossible to steal it, because through the euro, control against corruption becomes much stricter. The economy will necessarily be partially brightened, the former deputy prime minister explained.
According to him, the proposal to preserve the currency board will lead to severe inflation. The euro is a huge chance to take advantage of the major reforms that are coming in Europe. The euro is an open channel to private investment funds. There is no other scenario for Bulgaria with the small and weak lev, Prof. Tomov is categorical.
