GERB leader Boyko Borissov did not betray the tradition this Saturday as well – to meet with members and supporters of the party in different regions of the country. Today he is in Stara Zagora.
Borissov was greeted emotionally by the gathered people, who greeted him with shouts: “Boyko!”
The GERB leader touched on one of the most painful topics – the increased prices of gas, gasoline, electricity, heating, food.
He added: “I want to be concerned, I want to be kind. But look – there are no guardrails on the highways, a year or so – a spoonful of asphalt is not laid. But the respected media do not go to take pictures.”
“And they tell us that we are picky. But so far they have not bought 1 kg of wheat. I am not picky. But that was great PR a few months ago,” he said.
Boyko Borissov did not spare his reproaches to the experts and specialists from GERB “scratched” by the new government: “In the same way they are destroying the infrastructure, education, innovations … We would find the way to Belgrade by the New Year.
It is dangerous now. The most difficult section – Dragoman’s bridge, we broke the rocks. Now they had to pave and mark. And that failed.
But don’t get me wrong. There is nothing more they can do. They lost a year and a half of golden time. “
“They want to downplay the debate on the ‘domestic scenario.’ Because they have no arguments,” he said.
“For 16 or 20 thousand years mankind has used the horse as the main means of transport – whether to ride it, whether in a carriage, or in a cart. In 135 years you can see for yourself what happened in the automotive industry. Now in the next 1-2-3 years it seems to me that cars will fly on highways like mines.
We have great professors, associate professors, who if they mobilize with young energy and experience, we will do a lot. Not only with industrial parks, but with education and training.
Government spending is spiraling out of control. The EC says it, not Boyko Borissov. The energy crisis, some of the measures funded by the government, have not been targeted. This means that you want to give 25 stotinki per liter of gasoline – a measure that no one knows how it will happen and whose pockets will fill. But the hosts of the Saturday-Sunday shows carefully called the government’s measures. there is no question – how will this happen? To whom will you return the 25 stotinki. And as today they know that they will get their pennies back, the fuel went to BGN 3.50. what a measure this is. The rich man does not sleep. Not everyone is equal. Those who work will endure the crisis. Where is the logic to give help to people with heating, and those from the slums where they do not have, we will not give. This would happen sometime when we update the budget, said the GERB leader.
This means an excessive deficit, a yellow card, it means that in September there will be criminal proceedings against Bulgaria. The budget update does not include reducing the deficit, but increasing public spending. This is the first card. The second card is the record 405 remarks on the government’s weaknesses – 57 pages of remarks on agriculture, where my esteemed minister, Mrs. Ninova, claims to be the best minister, he added.
I am an experienced person. I remember how the crisis started. It started with the first cases in China, then China closed, and we admired videos in which someone sneezes in China and the whole group falls. But when this scourge hit Europe and China released its powers because it was over, we were racing to find masks and drugs. If you look at the numbers, 200-300 people walk every day, with a mortality rate of about 40 people. China and Korea are closed. If not, the scenario will be repeated, they will open in the fall. Now they are being vaccinated. Hundreds of thousands of vaccines paid for by the Bulgarian taxpayer have been discarded and donated, Borissov said.
“Whether it is covid, monkey fever, swine flu – we are not preparing at the moment. So many of the troubles are trying to attribute them to the ‘international situation’. I want to remind you that when we ruled we had a very severe migration crisis. There was a war in Syria, on the border between the Kurds and Turkey.
There was the Arab Spring. But we did it. Now everything is explained by the war. In which sphere does war hinder us? And because we are in Stara Zagora – the coal is yours, you don’t bring it from Ukraine or Russia – it is yours. And whose miners they are – yours. And those who work in the tecs are still yours. So what makes you raise the price of electricity ?! What a war, what international markets ?! “, commented Boyko Borissov.
He pointed out that, unlike other crises, Bulgaria has an advantage in this one – because the energy sources are Bulgarian: That would also guarantee prices. ”
The GERB leader pointed out that “taxpayers will take the commissions of those who bring gas”: “But what will we do in July, August, September? We need 20 ships. By the end of the year you have to prepare alternative suppliers. You are going to Egypt. and Qatar, to Greece and Turkey – you guarantee your business and then you just say to Gazprom: “Goodbye”. This worries us. it will bring them nothing but less income.
Now it’s the same with bread. They come up with some loud talk – how there would be bread for people. But people are thinking. And we are also social people – there are poorer ones, those who have not studied, “Borissov said.
The people from the hall joined the conversation and shared that they have never experienced such financial pressure before. “We are traveling to Serbia, Poland, Hungary. On the way back to Bulgaria it turns out – the price of diesel in BGN in Poland is 1.96. We return with one day difference in Bulgaria, the price is BGN 3.33-3.35. “What is happening is not normal,” said a baby product retailer.
“With us, a few pennies made a difference. Now let’s make fun of the fact that after making 3.50 naphtha, they will return you 25 cents! What is public transport doing ?! Worse – factories, we will not tell them the names, because the next day they send the CDCOC, NEK and the funeral agencies at last, “he said.
Borissov added: “We will never be revanchists. Because this is disastrous for a country. Is there civil hatred, the state has no chance. But we would not let the fuels move. So – electricity, gas, fuels – within pennies They could move. And no war in Ukraine bothers them. Inflation is not due to the war in Ukraine, but due to the Kovid pandemic …
What hinders them, in what sphere does the war in Ukraine hinder them? Mass businesses operate at max. They just dropped the three components – electricity, gas and oil. There was no war last June, but they began to “prepare” us that fuel prices would rise. Now it is convenient for everyone to say that war is bothering them. No, the covid pandemic changed everything. And dear media, if you remember, Bulgaria entered the pandemic in question well prepared. Who was “guilty” – “bad” Borisov, “bad Donchev ?!”.
“Now the banks are run by the world’s champion of bank failures – Gechev. He still seems to teach at UNWE … That’s why we will stay, whatever happens. The EC tells him what Bulgaria’s finances were, he says that GERB was And he went bankrupt as a world champion, “said Boyko Borissov.
He added that he was happy that Bulgaria had managed to join the European Banking Union: “And until GERB returns to some form of government – changed, renewed – to bring down inflation, regulate systems … But there is no plan for the euro “Moreover, several of the parties in the ruling coalition are against it. By the way, in the morning I listened to hoteliers who speak only in euros …”
He wonders with what money they will pay the second part of the squadron – that’s 3 billion and a fraction … However, people know that this policy cannot be fought. And if God forbid, I am a bad prophet, but everything I have said is happening – the pandemic will strike us again in October-November. If China is in full lockdown in the summer, think of winter. But there are measures – to cut the peak, vaccinate. There will be emergency advice again in the autumn, billions will be given for new vaccines, we are missing golden time. I want to say something sunny, nice, Stara Zagora, but I can’t. Because they have no plan.
“The vote of no confidence will not pass, because these parties are kept only by theft. True, some have fallen only livers and quarantines, but others, the good things have been taken by other parties. I quote, I do not invent something. Until you “My colleague from BTV has left, just to say – unlike you, I don’t go out with some leaflets and I don’t read. And I listen and say it in the best possible way,” he said.
“Yesterday, Ms. Lena Borislavova unknowingly linked the Recovery Plan to the accession of the Republic of Northern Macedonia. She unwittingly missed it. Pay attention to her statement. What did the Recovery Plan have to do with PCM? – Nothing. We have a contract for good neighborliness with northern Macedonia, it says it all.
It’s just that our friends from PCM have to do everything on it. There are bad times in the history of every country, but others forget them and do it to move forward. What has changed in the Neighborhood Agreement to date? Maybe Mr. Prime Minister knows or Mrs. Borislavova knows … I have not been informed that the Prime Minister is accompanied by the press secretary of the Cabinet.
The prime minister is important, the others are part of the team that helps him. Lena misses the important things between what was written. My well-meaning friendly advice is – let’s first agree on how to lower inflation by about 7-8% at least. how to lower the prices of energy sources “, commented Boyko Borissov.
He added that the CIS has not been convened for years: “And if it is convened now, let it be on prices, inflation, covid – because now is the time to prepare. I can say this to our esteemed opponents. I thank them for people like Marto (Martin Danovski) are cheating because GERB is getting stronger. There is a battle between a roller and a zinc bucket. ”
