/ world today news/ Analyzes are being made, but what did he want to say, whether it was against President Plevneliev, whether it was an assessment of him.
This was stated by Prime Minister Boyko Borisov at an annual economic meeting this morning, in connection with his words that the next president may be a woman.
Borisov added that what he said about a woman president was a joke and added that there is no war with the president. “But who will it be now. Something that is in 2 years is not on our agenda at all now. The only purpose of discussing who will be president in 2 and a half years is to give a short life of this government, to create tension in the coalition partners, to wonder if some games are being played. The presidential elections do not concern us at all, but I am so amazed by analysts: what was I thinking to say, just I was joking, just like that in a similar audience with only women, what can I say to them?!” added Borisov.
Borisov announced that he personally monitors the fight against the shadow economy and every Wednesday at 09:00 a.m. together with the prosecutor’s office, the finance ministry and the services, he holds a meeting where the income and the fight against smuggling are reported to him. “I can tell you that I am moderately optimistic about how the revenue is being collected compared to last January,” the prime minister said.
He added that the primary task of the services is the fight against VAT fraud, tax evasion and the gray sector, where the reserve is 500-600 million. BGN up to 1 billion leva. “This is the task I have set,” he announced.
Boyko Borisov again commented on the scandalous pension changes, saying that the only goal was to discipline private pension funds, make them competitive and guarantee the payment of pensions.
The Prime Minister also touched on the subject of tying gas stations with the National Revenue Agency, stating that this costs BGN 5,000. “Excuse me, but this is not an amount that can stop them considering that we are paying BGN 1.1 billion,” commented Borisov.

**Host:** Welcome to World Today News, and thank you for joining us for this exclusive interview. Today, we’re diving deep into the recent statements made by Prime Minister Boyko Borisov, which have sparked debate and generated much discussion. To help us analyze these remarks, we have two esteemed guests: Dr. Maria Petrova, a political analyst, and Mr. Stefan Ivanov, an economist specializing in public finance. Welcome to the show.
**Section 1: The “Female President” Remark – A Slip of the Tongue or Political Maneuvering?**
**(Host):** Prime Minister Borisov’s comment about a potential female president in Bulgaria sparked many interpretations. Dr. Petrova, could you shed some light on the context of this statement and the potential message Borisov might be conveying?
**Dr. Petrova:** Certainly. The Prime Minister has clarified his statement as a joke, but it’s crucial to examine the underlying implications. Was this a lighthearted remark, or was it a calculated attempt to test public reaction to the idea of a female president?
**(Host):** Mr. Ivanov, do you think this comment, regardless of its intent, could have any significant impact on the political landscape, particularly in terms of gender representation?
**Mr. Ivanov:** While it’s tempting to dismiss it as a mere jest, political statements, even those seemingly off-the-cuff, can carry weight. This remark could potentially contribute to a broader conversation about gender equality in Bulgarian politics and encourage more women to consider leadership roles.
**Section 2: Addressing the “War” Metaphor – Is There Strained Relations in the Political Arena?**
**(Host):** Borisov denies any “war” with President Plevneliev, but the use of such language suggests underlying tension. Mr. Ivanov, how do you interpret this choice of words, and could it point to a deeper rift between the two leaders?
**Mr. Ivanov:** The “war” metaphor, though likely meant figuratively, does indicate a certain level of friction. It could be a response to perceived pressure from the presidency, or perhaps a veiled criticism of certain policies.
**(Host):** Dr. Petrova, what are your thoughts on the dynamics between the Prime Minister and the President?
**Dr. Petrova:** The relationship between these two key figures has been complex, marked by periods of cooperation and moments of divergence. While Borisov insists there’s no war, the use of such strong language suggests underlying tensions that need to be addressed constructively.
**Section 3: Tackling Economic Challenges – Borisov’s Focus on the Shadow Economy**
**(Host):** Turning to economic issues, Borisov emphasizes his commitment to combating the shadow economy and tax evasion. Mr. Ivanov, how effective are these efforts likely to be, and what are the potential long-term implications for Bulgaria’s economy?
**Mr. Ivanov:** Tackling the shadow economy is a crucial step toward strengthening Bulgaria’s fiscal health. However, it requires a multi-pronged approach, combining effective law enforcement with structural reforms that incentivize compliance and transparency.
**(Host):** Dr. Petrova, how might these measures impact different segments of Bulgarian society, particularly smaller businesses and low-income earners?
**Dr. Petrova:** There’s a need to ensure that these efforts do not disproportionately burden vulnerable groups.
**(Host):** Thank you both for sharing your valuable insights.
