Rumen Radev's interview with CNN in Uzbekistan caused serious unrest among commentators, and at the same time, the protests against the euro organized by Vazrazhdane continue. The lecturer economist Lachezar Borisov commented in “Offensive with Lyubo Ognyanov” propaganda, false myths and truths about the euro and the eurozone.
He emphasized that we have a fixed exchange rate and we will remain with it upon entering the eurozone, because there is a decision of the National Assembly, and it is also in the law on the euro.
In connection with the narrative that the Central Bank will dictate the increase in incomes and wages, Borisov said that the ECB has no functions regarding domestic fiscal and budgetary policy, and its goal is to keep inflation low. Our domestic policy for public finances is in our hands, not in the European Central Bank, he added.
Lachezar Borisov is of the opinion that the adoption of the euro will increase our country's credit rating and there will be more foreign direct investment. He was categorical that Poland, Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic do not accept the euro because they do not meet the Maastricht criteria.
„No country can assume the debt of a country from the EU and the eurozone. No country has assumed the debt of Greece. Loans were given under strict conditions”, said the former Minister of Economy.
