Contrera: Sofia will block the first days of January because of the euro  - 1

The Euro-ists will only find the collapse again, wrote the deputy chairman of VMRO and municipal councilor in the Sofia Municipal Council Carlos Contrera on his Facebook profile.

Chaos is set to occur with the introduction of the euro at the Sofia Municipality level. The paradox is that this chaos was created by the most prominent apologists for the introduction of the euro - PP and DB, Contrera points out and predicts that it could reach a point where the municipality stops functioning within days after 01.01.2026. An interesting start to 2026 is set, guaranteed by PP-DB-SS.

The VMRO councilor is categorical that if PP-DB-“Save Sofia“ get into power, it will become a complete mess. This is a foretold chaos.

So on the threshold of entering the eurozone, hundreds of unknowns remain, from the amount of individual fines and property sanctions, to the amount of fees, service prices, thresholds for determining fees/service prices, tax bases, and so on. Sofia should brace itself for yet another crisis of this incompetent pink-purple government, Contrera also stated.

Carlos Contrera's entire position:

In football, there is a term - – “Euroidiots“, and the work of the Euro-shamers is the same. The purple Sofia NGO loudly concludes that Sofia is not ready to adopt the euro. Enough, seriously! The state is not ready, so Sofia...

For months, as a municipal councilor from VMRO - Bulgarian National Movement, I have been warning that neither the state is ready and has the organizational and technical preparation, let alone the Sofia Municipality. Three months ago, based on a PP report, a commission was formed in the Sofia Municipal Council, which was supposed to introduce changes in the regulations in connection with entering the Eurozone from 01.01.2026. PP-DB shamefully ran away from heading this commission, consistently refusing from “Yes, Bulgaria“ and DSB (they withdrew). As a result, the commission was headed by GERB, and PP-DB and “Save Sofia“ were going to help. Overall, unearthly stupidity. Now the Euro enthusiasts are exchanging mutual accusations about whose grand failure will be with the introduction of the euro in the Sofia Municipality. “Save Sofia“ They blame PP-DB and Vasil Terziev because they did not accept that every number, every digit should change. PP-DB hide like mice and persist in public, instead of pointing out “Save Sofia“ as outright idiots who want to vote one by one over two hundred texts, without having an agreement on which value is rounded, how and to what extent. What the estimated financial effect will be, no one can say.

Chaos is set to occur with the introduction of the euro at the Sofia Municipality level. The paradox is that this chaos was created by the most prominent apologists for the introduction of the euro - PP and DB. I predict total chaos around and after January 1, 2026, to the point that the municipality will stop functioning within days. Of course, there will be no one to blame. Wait for PP, DB or “Save Sofia“ to do some work or to ever be responsible for something. The question is where did these 8 months go, given that by law these changes were supposed to be adopted in the spring, and now we are at the end of August, and the September-October vote is yet to be held. They will be held if the three wings of the smart-beautiful are not killed by then.

The whole thing with the introduction of the euro is a complete mess, a foretold chaos, because after the big requests and praise for the eurozone, as usual the work is mainly about writing posts on social networks and chatting in the media. Then circuses, madness, frayed nerves and a whole bunch of problems. If the PP-DB-“Save Sofia“ gets power - that's what happens. Otherwise, they just talk it out, as long as there are enough people to get behind it. Thus, on the threshold of entering the eurozone, hundreds of unknowns remain, from the amount of individual fines and property sanctions, to the amount of fees, service prices, thresholds for determining fees/service prices, tax bases, etc. An interesting start to 2026 is set, guaranteed by the PP-DB-SS.

Sofia should brace itself for yet another crisis of this incompetent pink-purple government!
