Kuzman Iliev before FACTS: In Bulgaria, we get angry because "the pie is distributed by politicians (VIDEO)

The task of politics is to lift people out of the poverty line. I'm not just talking about Thank You, it's basically like that. In the West, we are not talking about poverty, but about reducing inequalities. But inequalities are something relatively natural, except in cases where no mafia practices have emerged, public contracts are somehow obtained, certain people get rich because they don't build highways, etc. These things irritate us because it results in an unnatural inequality of some people to others. This is what he announced to Lili Marinkova in the "FACTS" studio. and the show “Conversation“ the economist Kuzman Iliev.

“Again, I return to the words that the big problem of politics and how to not have the poor, and not so much the people, to equalize them. In order for there to be no poor, there must be strong small and medium-sized businesses that create jobs, raise the purchasing power of money, etc. In Bulgaria, however, it is extremely important to have a politician in the parliament, and that is why we are excited, because “the pie” is distributed by politicians. In reality, politicians must have a limited set of resources to allocate. For example, in one Ireland, in Singapore we are talking about no more than 25% of what is produced. And in our country, it is important to appoint an important politician, even to finance him, because he will then do a job for us and give us back some piece of the “pie”. In our country, politics boils down to how much I can take from the "pie", added the economist.
