site.btaCC-DB's Denkov: It Is Possible to Reduce Budget Expenditures In Several Areas

It is  possible to amend the budget and reduce expenditures in several areas, said Nikolay Denkov, co-floor leader of the parliamentary group of Continue the Change–Democratic Bulgaria. He was speaking to journalists regarding the upcoming debate of the budget by parliamentary committees and the possibility of changes requested by employers on the sidelines of a national conference for professions and sustainable future.

According to him, the projected revenues are once again unrealistic, and once again a huge debt is planned.

“We will insist, as far as it depends on us at the political level, that changes be made,” he added.

“The response we hear - that no other budget is possible - is a simple lie, and why this lie is being told is a question for those who are submitting the budget,” Denkov said.

He said that if the governing majority shows reason, they should amend the budget, but if this is about group interests and “piggy banks,” they will not do it.
