The President with a comment from KSNS
In the current situation, the caretaker government is tied up, and the Bulgarians will carry the crisis on their own backs. This was stated by President Rumen Radev after the National Security Advisory Council.
“Despite in-depth discussions, we have not reached a consensus. According to most parties, the budget debate should only take place in parliament. I think this is an issue that affects national security, “Radev said.
“If this parliament leaves without updating the budget, there will be no funds for medicines and consumables, for additional salaries for medical and non-medical staff, there will be no funds for the 60/40 measure, there will be no funds to strengthen border security, for The Ministry of Interior will not pay heating allowances to the needy, nor will the money for personal assistance be paid, there will be no indexation of pensions. In this situation, the cabinet will be handcuffed, will not be able to use the funds provided by the treasury. “Bulgarians will once again carry the crisis on their own backs,” the president said.
Radev moved from the topic of the budget to the footage showing police violence during protests last summer. “I welcome the decision of the Speaker of the National Assembly to convene an extraordinary session of the parliament on the subject. I also welcome the order of the Interior Minister to check the previous inspections for the investigation of this case, “Radev said.
“In this case, a careful assessment of all the facts and responsibilities must be made. In this act, we must react as a democratic society. The inaction of the prosecutor’s office in this case is also inexplicable, “Radev said.
