GERB expects a revanchist cabinet

It is logical to expect that the caretaker cabinet will behave in the spirit of revenge because of everything that President Rumen Radev has said about the GERB government, the resigned Deputy Prime Minister Tomislav Donchev told BNR. He also commented on the activity of the parliamentary commission for revision of the work of the government during the last 10 years, describing it as "both post-election and pre-election drama". It was in it that businessman Svetoslav Ilchovski said that he had to give up part of his profits in favour of the government in order not to lose his business. 

However, Tomislav Donchev questioned his words. "With the deductions, this is a recirculation of a political fulcrum, which has been in circulation for several years," he said. 
Regarding the reduction of the budget subsidy of the BNR with nearly  BGN 1 million, the vice premier said he was not familiar with the case and had not read the official request sent by BNR director general Andon Baltakov, but would read it on Monday.
