90% of the government’s programme is not being implemented, GERB claims

“In the support for the government there are two things that are more important to GERB than Euro-Atlanticism – the budget and corruption,” GERB leader Boyko Borissov said at the national conference of the party in Veliko Turnovo.

“I believe that in the sphere of the production of petroleum products and everything connected with them, in the past year and a half there has been corruption to the highest degree,” Boyko Borissov went on to say.

“90% of the targets set down in the common programme of governance have not been met by the government,” said on her part Desislava Atanasova, chair of the GERB parliamentary group. “It looks like this will be the worst financial administration in 25 years – debt, deficit, no investments and a new tax burden,” Atanasova said in a comment on the draft budget.

In the past 3 years, voters have gone to the polls 10 times, or once every four months. This is a “democracy overdose and it cannot function,” said GERB deputy chair Tomislav Donchev at the forum.
