Holding elections after entry into the Eurozone would be catastrophic for Bulgaria and would mislead our colleagues in Europe who have been treating Bulgaria so fairly and who have been fulfilling their commitments towards us, said GERB leader Boyko Borissov in Plovdiv, where a national meeting of his party is taking place, BGNES reports. “Entering the government is not an end in itself for GERB, for us the best thing would be to have elections after entering the Eurozone,” he said.

The country will be accepted into the Eurozone, Boyko Borissov said, and when that happens “we’ll raise the economy, industry, we’ll raise people’s incomes, we’ll increase investments”. Active efforts are underway at the moment in the military-industrial complex and in the sphere of innovations, Boyko Borissov said further, and if Defence Minister Atanas Zapryanov’s programme is endorsed, we shall need 39 billion Leva (EUR 19.94 bn.) to implement it.

As regards the criticism levelled by President Rumen Radev at politicians, Boyko Borissov described the Bulgarian president as “just a political leader of a non-existent party who has been warming up (for the race) for 8 years,” and advised him to “stop using the presidential institution as a private airline company and to come out and fight us”.
