Political Turmoil: Opposition MP’s Controversial Budget Stance sparks Debate
In a recent turn of political events, Assen Vasilev, a Member of Parliament from PP-DB, has found himself at the center of a heated debate. His stance on the budget has drawn sharp criticism from fellow MP Yavor bozhankov, who has accused Vasilev of leading the country into a self-inflicted crisis.
Bozhankov’s critique was sparked by Vasilev’s statement that the coalition would support the budget if it adhered to certain criteria: expenses within 40% of GDP, a 3% deficit, and the absence of “dramatic nonsense such as policies or changes.” Bozhankov, however, expressed his discomfort with these conditions, stating, “I am not comfortable writing the next lines. This is my personal opinion. We have to point out the mistakes – including our own. To protect our community.”
The controversy deepens as Bozhankov reveals that Vasilev’s statement was made before the coalition had even seen the budget. “And it can meet these criteria and still be harmful to Bulgaria in 99% of its content,” Bozhankov asserted. ”GERB is obliged to observe a 3% deficit by law – this is not a reason for gratitude. Nor a reason for support.”
Bozhankov further elaborates on the implications of Vasilev’s stance,stating,”The budget is the onyl normative act that can only be submitted by the executive. It is an emanation of the governing views. A physical law in politics is that the opposition can support reasonable proposals at second reading, but not the philosophy of the law of the first. If you do this, then you’re part of the majority.”
The fallout from this political maneuver has been swift and severe. Rosen Zhelyazkov took to social media to express his dismay, tweeting, “thank you to the PP/DB for supporting the governing. I thought he was lying. I was disappointed not to lie.”
bozhankov outlines three potential explanations for vasilev’s stance: ignorance of basic political rules, an unstable ruling majority, or a suicidal political strategy. regardless of the reason, Bozhankov warns that this mistake must be rectified promptly. “Whatever the reasons behind this blunder, it must be crossed in the bud. I have one in mind after choosing Silvi Kirilov. That’s why I warn.”
Bozhankov also refrains from commenting on recent exchanges between Kiril Petkov, Nikolay denkov, and Delyan Peevski, and also visits by PP leaders to the United States. He emphasizes that recent weeks have been challenging for the opposition, but supports for the budget of the ruling majority is “absolute damage. Total.irreversible. Unforgivable.”
Bozhankov advises,”Policy support is not offered. Looking for.If GERB have a problem with the majority - you do not save them. They are looking for salvation. Then you think. If they wanted management with our participation, there were negotiations. to which PP did not appear!”
