Political parties in parliament argue over budget and social expenditure

We Continue the Change party called on the caretaker government to submit a budget for 2023 to parliament. The proposal of the Council of Ministers to extend the budget for 2022 is a possible decision, but it is wrong because what is needed is an “active incomes policy”, the We Continue the Change declaration reads.

Talking to reporters in parliament building, representatives of GERB and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms commented that the decision to table an extension of the 2022 budget is a better option because it is a very dangerous thing, at a time of election campaigning which the parties have been doing, to draw up a budget without there being a regular government with a clear time horizon behind it.

Bulgarian Socialist Party leader Kornelia Ninova commented that the proposal to extend the current budget will make the population poorer.
