The Parliament rejected the BSP’s proposal for changes in the minimum wage.
The idea of the socialists was that from July 1 until the end of 2023, the amount of the minimum wage should be determined by the Council of Ministers. It will be 50% of the national average gross salary for the last three quarters of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023. They explained that this will reduce inequalities and that there will be a gradual increase in the amount. Gyokov explained that otherwise it will be close to BGN 1,000 from 2024, which is a sharp increase.
Ivan Chenchev from the BSP requested a re-vote.
This salary of BGN 780 is humiliating, and what you did 30 seconds ago is even more humiliating. Pressing the “against” button is not against the bill introduced by the BSP. What is even more frightening is that this is a political decision of your new coalition. Everyone in this room knows that man is at the center of politics. You do not put the person at the center of politics, Chenchev accused them.
And after his words, his proposal was rejected. It received only 22 votes in favor, 19 of which went to the Socialists.
