I couldn't understand who needed this. You submit one budget and then suddenly it turns out that you don't stand behind it, and in fact you want another, but you submitted this one and no one can say exactly why. This was said in an interview with "Osche od djenja" Petar Kicashki from "Gallup".
"We are entering the realm of TikTok-ization of Bulgarian politics. Everyone will start with short-term and short-lived actions that are extremely meaningless," he added.
"You can't expect the protest to create an alternative. People protest simply because they are not satisfied with something and want it to happen differently. There is an attempt to politically lead the protest by the opposition, and perhaps by President Radev. However, this process is bigger than them," Kicashki also commented.
"What we saw today with the budget is not just madness. It is unprecedented anywhere in the world for one government to submit two alternative budgets. This is anti-state behavior, because you cannot irresponsibly dispose of over 40% of the money created by the people, of the GDP. This political infantilism has reached the point of self-refutation, because after the PP-DB immediately announced that it was calling a protest tomorrow evening, they said: "This was an experiment", commented journalist Veselin Stoynev.
"The protest says that it wants the state to be governed normally, according to certain rules, and not behind the scenes. Also, to have fair elections. "It's hard to have a simpler and clearer vision than this," he added.
