The MPs from Vazrazhdane party will request that Minister of Finance Temenuzhka Petkova be heard in parliament regarding Bulgaria's entry into the Eurozone, announced the leader of the party, Kostadin Kostadinov.
"We have inside information from other finance ministers that the possibility of Bulgaria devaluing the lev has been discussed if it insists too much on joining the Eurozone. If this happens, it will be the biggest blow to people's incomes and savings since 1997, and this theft must not be allowed in any way. I will ask Temenizhka Petkova if this is true. Perhaps we will also seek some additional legal guarantees that the lev-euro exchange rate will not be tampered with", said Kostadin Kostadinov.
The Bulgarian lev is pegged to the Euro at a fixed rate of 1 euro = 1.95583 BGN.
