The Bulgarian right-wing Blue Coalition vowed Wednesday to say no three times to the cabinet's budget 2012.
The "Blues" will vote not only against the State budget, but to the budget of the National Social Security Institute (NOI) and the one of the National Health Insurance Fund (NZOK).
According to one of the Coalition's Co-chairs, Ivan Kostov, leader of Democrats for Strong Bulgaria (DSB), in the last two years the ruling, center-right Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria party (GERB) is avoiding all and any political debate over knowing they lack the strength to win.
The other Co-chair, Martin Dimitrov, leader of the Union of Democratic Forces (UDF), declared that the budget is the final refusal on GERB's part to implement reforms.
"The cabinet had not done a thing to improve the business environment. Their entire line of behavior is to not do anything, and sooner or later the bomb will explode. The budget does not include any anti-crisis measures. The differences between budget 2011 and 2012 are so slim, they can be ignored. This budget will lead to the bankruptcy of the country's economy; it has generous promises that will never be realized. The right-wing is a firm opposition, which offers solutions and alternatives," Dimitrov stressed.
