/ world as we speak information/ I need to remark in just a few phrases on the Imaginative and prescient as a complete, however not within the kind by which it was offered to the social gathering on the Nationwide Convention on July 21, however the Imaginative and prescient that, as a citizen and an unusual member of the BSP, I want to current on the 21 July 2019 to your entire Bulgarian public. Due to this fact, I might name this doc (which I maintain in my fingers – “The Imaginative and prescient”) an invite to debate, inside and outdoors the social gathering. This isn’t the system different introduced in July.
First, as a result of the system change began 29 years in the past and ended on 01/01/2007., after we grew to become a part of probably the most progressive trendy political and financial union within the face of the European Neighborhood. The imaginative and prescient doesn’t got down to change this new system, as a result of I don’t consider, if we depend on widespread sense, that we need to change the constitutional order, query our membership of the EU, a lot much less go to a different planet. This doc shouldn’t be an alternate, as a result of in it the ideological-philosophical cost to a big extent, when it comes to quantity and depth of the content material, is inferior to this system stylistics discovered in the course of the preparation of any elections.
Secondly, as a result of if we need to change our native “system” within the worst sense of the phrase, which each Bulgarian feels to the purpose of epidermal intolerance, we should, above all else, to have a philosophical dialog about concepts, in regards to the future, about summary ideas corresponding to morality, justice, equality, brotherhood, humanity, compassion, neighborhood, folks. Then let’s make clear for ourselves and for society as a complete ideas like democracy, the rule of legislation, the welfare state, what we imply by “capitalism with a human face” or what others imply by “socialism with a non-human face”. Right this moment, all this can be a pile of productions that beautify the dictionaries, however little or no is alleged about them.
As with the latest protests, we really feel the injustice to the purpose the place our stomachs damage, however we don’t search for the basis causes of this injustice. We increase slogans towards the excessive costs of bread and gas, however there are fewer and fewer slogans for fairer incomes, for a fairer redistribution of our nationwide wealth, for solidarity and equality between labor and capital. We’ve got forgotten to propagate enlightenment, not to mention quote Weber, Marx, Spinoza, Rousseau or bash Ayn Rand.
Even this client degree prevails within the Imaginative and prescientproviding will increase in percentages from tomorrow, decreases in nominal values as early as as we speak. It is like we’re serving sandwiches and drinks in cellophane.
With the modest contribution of the Basic Meeting of the BSP, summarized within the supplies distributed earlier as we speak, we try to supply a unique method in constructing a “Imaginative and prescient for Bulgaria”.
Within the part on fiscal coverage and public finance normally and the tax system specifically, we’ve got tried to not communicate in numbers (apart from the wants of the instance) or to cope with incomprehensible wording corresponding to the next textual content: “The principle precedence of the fiscal coverage we suggest is sustainable socio-economic improvement with monetary stability, with strict adherence to the Maastricht standards”, “Our medium-term fiscal technique is to eradicate price range imbalances and restore the price range place via successive steps of fiscal consolidation.” What number of Bulgarian residents will perceive this psychological assemble? What’s extra, this message is in stark ideological battle with our views on ending the “belt-tightening” insurance policies that our political opponents are so pleased with.
Earlier than proposing methods, applications and requests for concrete actions, we have to clarify precisely what we imply by justice and injustice, safety and predictability after we discuss these insurance policies. What are the upcoming and inevitable challenges dealing with Bulgarian society in these areas, no matter who will rule the nation tomorrow?
Final however not least, we should not overlook that tomorrow we’ll proceed the dialog about the way forward for Bulgaria, nose to nose with the Bulgarian residents, and never solely within the social gathering. To be believed, we should inform the reality and admit our previous errors. After we suggest that the state distributes extra, as an instance that this additionally means taking extra from the residents, however in keeping with their contribution capabilities.
That guaranteeing entry to the social and well being system has as a bargaining chip the obligatory contribution to the medical health insurance and pension programs, not solely earnings from work, however any kind of private earnings of people (together with from lease, lease, curiosity, dividends, royalties and royalties and and so forth.).
After we promote progressive household earnings taxation, incl. as a device to enhance demographic processes, to be able to admit that the flat tax system launched 10 years in the past is amongst our largest errors in our whole historical past as a left social gathering, which can’t be justified by the short-term, conjunctural advantages of an identical form of measure. As a result of, past the bounds of short-sightedness, probably the most unfair system of redistribution of products was established completely (nearly irreversibly) in Bulgaria. This flat system, mixed with the limitation of the redistributive operate of the state to 40% of our gross product (launched later), deepened social inequalities and virtually prevented the opportunity of conducting any tax coverage, not to mention a good one. As a result of it’s a system of jumped vessels, by which the rise of taxation ranges in a single vessel should be accompanied by a discount of those ranges in one other, within the seek for justice and steadiness. However you possibly can’t movement from nothing to nothing.
We suggest a gradual, wise and managed change to our whole fiscal system.
We suggest that the state distributes extra, which suggests additionally takes extra from residents, however in accordance with their contribution potentialities, because the dedication of the tax-insurance burden needs to be thought-about within the mild of the query “how a lot is left” and never the query “how a lot is taken from you ” because it presently stands. The query right here shouldn’t be whether or not, however how to do that so that individuals don’t really feel robbed and consider that each Bulgarian lev they contribute to the state treasury is their contribution to a public trigger, for a greater current and future .
We suggest the honest system of redistribution of nationwide wealth, offering native communities with the means mandatory for his or her monetary independence, as a device for conducting efficient native insurance policies, and never a system that imputes extra duties to them with out materially making certain their implementation.
In conclusion, I might name for us to be uncompromising in regards to the fact after we communicate inside and outdoors the social gathering. If there’s a criticism of my speech, it’s motivated by the will to be higher. Comrade Stanishev, who’s right here amongst us, could have felt himself to be its addressee as we speak, on the event of my phrases in regards to the flat tax system. However I might not be obliged to the one who was current right here till some time in the past mrs Nineveh (right here in my speech I “unintentionally” known as her madam, not comrade) on the event of the manipulative means by which the social gathering was pushed in reference to the general public debate on the so-called “Istanbul Conference”, ignoring the essence of this doc, as an indeniable contribution of the progressive left in Western Europe because of its almost century-long efforts.
