Asen Vassilev: The USA says that Goranov and GERB damaged the state with BGN 600 million – it is clear where the money went – Politics

We saw that not only with “Democratic Bulgaria“Democratic Bulgaria” is a center-right political association composed of“, and with other parties and non-governmental organizations, we can join forces for Bulgaria to become a country in which we all want to live. All the energy of all the people who want things to improve must be harnessed, so that the country to move forward. This is what the co-chairman of “We continue the change” said in the show “Face to Face” on BTVKiril Petkov and Asen Vassilev presented their political project “We continue the change”” Asen VassilevAsen Vassilev was the Minister of Economy, Energy and Tourism from March 12 to May 29, 2013. By decree of.

According to him, the first official cabinet of Galab Donev not only did not find the country “on pause”, as the president Rumen Radev claims, but the Bulgarian economy grew by almost 4%, and this happened despite the inflation crisis and the invasion of Russia in Ukraine.

We do not remember such a thing in the last 12 years without a crisis. This happened because there was no racketeering over business, there was an unprecedented social program – an increase in pensions, an increase in the salaries of young doctors, an increase in the salaries of teachers, free kindergartens, free textbooks – all this happened and we were left with a budget deficit of 2.9% . In a severe crisis, we managed to make an extensive social program without raising taxes and a program for business. This means that Bulgaria is a rich country, Vassilev said.

We remember that the caretaker government said that we would die of cold and hunger in the winter, and it turned out not to be the case. It was seen that not only was there no pause, but the parameters were set (in the state budget from the “Petkov” cabinet – b.ed.) so that the country can move forward. If they had adopted a real budget, as we wanted, wages would have been rising ahead of inflation, added the PP co-chairman.

All people’s incomes have been frozen, there is no adequate export support, because the values ​​in the budget are from mid-2022. These values ​​had to be updated. Why not submit to the parliament a budget that is adequate to the new reality? The biggest shock that businesses should expect is the rise in interest rates worldwide. This reduces investment and makes loans more expensive. There is money in the Recovery and Sustainability Plan to support businesses in this direction – for companies to use loans at half interest and for investments to continue. This can be done by Minister Pekanov, who is responsible for European funds, noted Asen VassilevAsen Vassilev was the Minister of Economy, Energy and Tourism from March 12 to May 29, 2013. By decree of.

In response to a question, he said that the Gemcorp memorandum for which the PP was accused was non-binding and was terminated without any damage to the state.

Nikola Minchev: The new “Magnitsky” list is a sign

If we talk about the “Magnitsky” list, the people who caused damage to the state were put there. The text was very heavy and embarrassing. It was said that instead of this money going to hospitals and kindergartens, it went into the pockets of these people. This was said by the US Treasury Department. The worst thing is that these cases are in the Bulgarian prosecutor’s office and they are not doing anything about it. When Boyko Rashkov was the Minister of Internal Affairs and Vladislav Goranov was arrested, he handed over 400 pages of files, and the prosecutor’s office said there was no evidence to start an investigation. The problem is that there is no control over this institution so that it can do its job and not act as an umbrella, Vassilev stressed.

There is no way for the state to move forward while a watering can is broken and everything is flowing. It was seen that after our administration, the state not only did not go bankrupt, as was claimed, but there was growth in the economy and a budget deficit below 3%. This means that this money was there in every single year before, but it did not reach the people. When you leave doctors on minimum wage, it is normal for them to go abroad, when you also leave teachers with socks with holes, it is normal that there are no young personnel for this profession. When the US Treasury Department says that the Finance Minister and the entire GERB groupGERB is a center-right populist, conservative and pro-European political party in caused damage to the state for BGN 600 million, it is clear where the money went. Bulgarian citizens must clearly state whether they want to continue as before or whether they want to become a normal European country, commented Asen VasilevAsen Vassilev was the Minister of Economy, Energy and Tourism from March 12 to May 29, 2013. By decree of.

We are fighting for a majority in the elections, the PP co-chairman also said.
