GERB leader Boyko Borissov and MPs Desislava Atanasova and Hristo Gadzhev give an extraordinary briefing from the party’s headquarters.
The first topic was the illegal wiretapping of politicians.
“For months, the lie was spread that there was wiretapping during the GERB. Yesterday, the parliamentary committee found that there is no illegal use of the SRS, for which we thank them,” Borissov said.
“Thousands of minutes of airtime were spent on illegal wiretapping programs. As in the Kostinbrod affair, we lost interest,” the former prime minister said. He cited a report from the SRS Bureau that made it clear that there had been no illegal wiretapping.
The second topic was the SCNS on Tuesday, related to tensions between Ukraine and Russia.
“The world is on alert, NATO planes are flying, there are ships in the Black Sea, battalions are being formed, troops are being redeployed and all this is happening in our region.
We welcome diplomatic efforts, but, you know, whoever doesn’t feed his army will feed someone else’s. We suggest that the ruling coalition can count on 59 deputies to support the budget to support points with real funds so that Bulgaria can increase its combat readiness so that all three types of armed forces receive weapons and this money is seen in the budget. .
Otherwise, it will turn out that KSNS was to pick up the number. We will also support these points in parliament. The question of where to cut this money would be logical, and that is why the finance ministers are making estimates of where to get the money for defense, “Borissov commented.
Thanks to the American embassy, which came out and said that supplies were disrupted due to kovid, I do not agree that GERB has left holes in the budget, because we paid 100% for the F-16 fighters. Over BGN 5 billion have been invested in the army, incl. to raise wages. We paid the Cougars, the Spartans, the Panthers “, added the GERB leader.
“I do not accept that there were holes, but so much money was given for defense. The salaries of both the police and the judiciary have increased, everything,” he said.
Every year, what the judiciary has offered, we have allocated funds for 13 and 14 salaries. The small National Palace of Culture has been turned into a beautiful building where judges and prosecutors work. How many courts have been built and we have never divided anyone, but we have provided the necessary funding for people to work freely, “said Borissov, when asked about the funding of the judiciary.
“There were problems with the financing of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences during the time of Simeon Djankov, but we changed that and a person from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences attended the meetings of the Council of Ministers,” he recalled.
EXPECT DETAILS IN BLITZ!
