The co-chairs of Bulgaria's right-wing Blue Coalition handed Thursday to the co-chairs of the Parliamentary group of the ruling, center-right GERB party, Krasimir Velchev and Iskra Fidosova, a list of their concrete proposals for anti-crisis measures.

The move came on the heels of the Wednesday appeal of the Chair of the Parliamentary Budget Committee, Menda Stoyanova, also from the Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) party to the right wing to present “concrete measures, not concrete goals,” targeting statements coming from the Blue coalition co-chairs - Ivan Kostov, leader of Democrats for Strong Bulgaria (DSB) and Martin Dimitrov, leader of the Union of Democratic Forces (UDF) that GERB lacks vision how to counter the crisis. Stoyanova warned them to not “scare people.”

On Thursday, Fidosova promised Kostov and Dimitrov to examine their proposals, which were handed symbolically in a blue folder, and discuss them with the right wing by the end of the day.

One day earlier, DSB announced they are proposing a package of 4 priority measures, while UDF have prepared 13 main directions for an economic program to fight the crisis.

The “Blues” also ask for an International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan and significant cuts in the State administration.
