/ world today news/ The concession of the finance minister that he can handle 2 bln. a leva less will remain only in words. It was only an alibi for DPS and ABV, but the masks fell.
This position was expressed by the leader of the BSP, Mikhail Mikov, minutes after the vote on a new debt worth 8 billion. euro.
In response to a question whether this retreat will remain only a verbal promise, Mikov replied that this is visible, since the ruling party rejected an editorial amendment by the BSP. During the debates on the second reading of the ratification of the new debt, Georgi Kadiev proposed to replace the number 8 with the number 7, thus the state commits to a debt of 7 billion. EUR and 14 billion, respectively. leva, which was essentially Goranov’s promise, for which ABV and DPS supported the cabinet.
The arguments of the minister that he can handle 2 bln. less, they were apparently alibi for support from the two parties that surprisingly supported – DPS and ABV, the BSP leader said.
Regarding the change in ABV’s position, Mikov commented that “he has an explanation, but he does not want to share it”. With this unconstitutional acceptance of the ratification, with the refusal to vote on the proposal of Rumen Gechev and Georgi Kadiev, the masks fell, Mikov said. In the office of the National Assembly, Rumen Gechev submitted a proposal for a change between the first and second reading, having written that the contract should be for 3.5 billion. euro.
Mikov insisted that voting in the first and second reading on the same day is a violation of the Constitution and the BSP will make an attempt to collect the necessary signatures to appeal to the Constitutional Court. Before that, they will try to commit the president to also uphold the Constitution and veto ratification.
