GERB: The 2026 budget has not been withdrawn

The 2026 budget has not been withdrawn and remains with the Parliament's Registry Office. It has been reviewed by committees and may be put to a first vote at tomorrow’s Presiding Council meeting, pending political party agreement.

Denitsa Sacheva, deputy chair of the GERB-SDS parliamentary group, made this statement to BNR today. According to Sacheva, GERB is determined to ensure Bulgaria enters 2026 with an approved budget, whether it is a rollover or a full budget.

• Parliament considers a rollover budget into 2026

“Without a budget, the chaos will be felt as early as 2 January. Since we lack a constructive opposition, and instead have individuals whose behaviour and rhetoric resemble that of a hooligan group, we are desperately trying to preserve what little common sense remains,” she said.
