Early elections will not help anyone. If elections were held now, the caretaker government would have no power to draft the most difficult budget in the past 30 years. This was what the president of the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria (CITUB), Plamen Dimitrov, said.

With a caretaker government, there would be no political responsibility and the budget might be unfulfillable. This would create chaos and tension in the state and the economy, the president of the CITUB says, quoted by BTA.

“What is the point of further destroying the state when in the next elections, as sociologists say, things will be repeated – GERB and DPS-New Beginning will have to form a government ​​with someone or without someone,” Dimitrov also said.
