The vote on the budget for 2023 is among the first tasks that the National Assembly must complete. The term is until the end of the year. Therefore, even before the start of the new parliament, some of the parties gathered to see what the common views are and where the dividing lines are. The invitation was given by BSP and GERB, “Let’s continue the change” and DPS replied. No general decisions were made, but some of the four parties’ proposals were found to overlap.
BSP has invited parties represented in parliament to talks
The 2023 budget managed to bring together BSP, GERB, “I keep changing” and DPS.
“If we talked like this in a hall, we would provide people with peace of mind for the winter,” said Cornelia Ninova.
But even if the talks were positive, the conclusion from them is not.
“Next winter and next year will be much more difficult than this year. Such a difficult financial situation, which the state is in, has not existed since 1997,” said Kiril Ananiev of GERB.
Therefore, even those with different opinions have reached common accounts for the next budget.
“We have not talked about majorities. We have talked about how to take stock if the majority is not reached. All crises require measures and the security of measures is lacking. Everyone has expressed their opinion, but we do not have a common solution,” he said. said Yordan Tsonev of the DPS. “We are all of the opinion that compensation for both businesses and the population should continue. The question is how this will happen, how,” Tsonev also said.
“The compensation we offered in the summer for the electricity price cap will continue into 2023,” said Delyan Dobrev of GERB.
But also with a proposal for change.
“To compensate for business support by capturing the excess profit of energy companies, but to add private energy companies to state-owned ones,” Cornelia Ninova asked.
There is a consensus to raise the minimum wage, recalculate pensions and introduce the concept of “energy poverty”. And more: rapid movement of invoices as part of the recovery plan.
“What we see is that no one wants just because of some political instability, which shouldn’t be a reason for not being able to move quickly to negotiations and the adoption of this extremely fundamental legislation,” said Kalina Konstantinova of “Continue the Change. “.
The parties agreed on Friday to summon Finance Minister Rositsa Velkova for a hearing.
Kornelia Ninova also revealed that the PG of the BSP will also nominate a candidate for the presidency of the National Assembly.
