/ world today news/ Customs officers are #1, Customs officers are hopeless, Customs officers have tightened up. These 3 contradictory statements are from one person – the Prime Minister of Bulgaria, Boyko Borisov.
They were pronounced within exactly 2 months.
Here are the exact quotes:
February 22, 2015
Boyko Borisov: Customs collected 90 mln. leva more, and the tax with 70 mln. BGN more compared to this period last year.
April 8, 2015
Boyko Borisov: The customs and border guards, the softest word is “absolutely unreliable”, guard the borders. We don’t have a system there. I have given them until next Wednesday to convince me otherwise”. I will most likely propose that the National Revenue Agency and the Customs Agency be merged. I have assigned the Minister of the Interior to make personnel and personnel changes everywhere along the borders.
April 22, 2015
Boyko Borisov: “Customs” Agency collected 58 mln. BGN more revenue than the same month last year. Because of this, merger plans remain on the back burner.
In a country like Bulgaria, where there is no economy and no production, the Customs Agency and the National Revenue Agency are the only sources of income, including from …smuggling. And this explains the Prime Minister’s contradictory messages to them.
Adding to his brutal warning from two days ago: QUIETLY we are putting cameras in customs – we understand that he is more interested in the latter than in collection. Otherwise, I can’t make this open warning about “silent cameras”.
The silence of the opposition from Mikhail Mikov to Lyutvi Mestan is another proof of their “national agreement” on the issue of state robbery. Agreement reached during the distant round table in 1990. and precisely refined over time to this day.
Borisov’s first cabinet went down in history with “Misho Birata” – Borisov’s brutal patronage of contraband production. The second will remain with his open hand over customs and the National Revenue Agency.
