Consultations of Bulgaria’s President with the Bulgarian Socialist Party

"We will not relinquish our pre-election commitments," Ninova said. She said the BSP’s assessment of the programme of GERB and the United Patriots was "a serious retreat from their pre-election commitments" and stressed that they were particularly worried about two issues - demographic crisis, poverty and income.

Amidts rising prices, increasising cost of living and the worrying statistics that came today both from Eurostat and Bulgaria’s NSI that 2.5 million Bulgarians live in material deprivation, the BSP has put the issue of poverty and income seriously.

Ninova said that GERB and United Patriots had given up their intention to make the minimum pension BGN 300 as well as to increase incomes. "That is why we have proposed to President Radev to convene a Consultative Council for National Security on topics of demographic catastrophe and poverty," the BSP leader said.

"For us, national consensus should be sought on domestic issues such as the demographic catastrophe and the impoverishment of the Bulgarian citizens. On foreign affairs themes, we will also seek and support national consensus on the topics of national security and Bulgaria’s EU presidency, " she aded.
