„It’s already 2:45 p.m. What arguments did I hear? Do you want to overthrow this government because we have raised the pensions and we are proposing that the pensions be raised to BGN 467? Was that inflation?! Because the salaries of the doctors did not have to be BGN 2,000, because this was pro-inflation. Because nurses should not receive BGN 1,500. And this is pro-inflationary. Because the 13 billion came, but it was late, although we are currently congratulated on the best Recovery and Sustainability Plan and the greenest by the way. Because in the last few months we have to apologize to you that the world stock markets have risen by 55% the price of oil and you know it very well. I am very sorry as a person like Krassimir Valchev, who should respect economic terms, he knows very clearly that this inflation has been introduced. And when rhetoric is made, which is almost a function of our government, it’s just an ugly lie.„
This was stated by Prime Minister Kiril Petkov after the speech of the MP from „There is Such a People“ Toshko Yordanov, who once again announced the motives of his party to lose confidence in the cabinet, namely because of the Republic of North Macedonia and financial policy. From the parliamentary rostrum, the Prime Minister apologized to Kiril Ananiev for the „economic collapse“ that occurred in the first three months with economic growth of only 4%. I’m so sorry about that! Then he continued:
“At the same time, let’s tell the truth – we have heard this about the Republic of North Macedonia (RNM) 1,800 times. I will not say this, we have said 100 times that this will be decided in the parliament, but these people are exercising on one chewing gum, because they know very well that they asked for 40% of the estimate of billions for roads to be in a dark room in the Ministry of Regional Development. Well, they didn’t make it, I’m sorry!“
„And the fact that people from your group said why you are overthrowing the government clearly said that, and then Mr. Yordanov justified himself here. It is a fact, because the money did not go where we had agreed to go and let’s tell the truth – the truth is that this vote of no confidence is 4 people who are not here. The first is Mr. Borissov, who fears that justice will come to him as well. The second, Mr. Peevski, fears that his companies will not receive those construction billions, on which he may have an agreement with another MP in this hall. And for the people who have been silent so far, they tried to say something about the euro, but we did not understand it – Mrs. Mitrofanova is not so scary and you cannot listen to her for everything she tells you. Tomorrow, however, people depend on you, really on you. The history of Bulgaria is being written at the moment! Do not allow Bulgarian politics and where this country is going to depend on 4 text messages from 4 people who are not in this hall!“, the Prime Minister said.
„I did not share from whom the fourth text message will come tomorrow – from Mr. Slavi Trifonov and if I have to believe one of the two today, I certainly believe the man on my left, because you told so many lies today that your every word there is no value!“, Petkov replied after Yordanov’s second statement.
