The Co-Chair of Bulgaria's rightist Blue Coalition, Martin Dimitrov, accused Monday in Parliament the outgoing Socialist-led government of hiding the truth about the dimensions of the economic crisis.
After the other Co-Chair, Ivan Kostov, pledged the Coalition's support for the new government of PM nominee Boyko Borisov, and the GERB party, Dimitrov went on to point out that the programs of GERB and the Blue Coalition were very much alike but that the real issue was the implementation of the policies.
Dimitrov said the new government would have to answer to three major questions as early as September: the real scope of Bulgaria's budget deficit, which Dimitrov believes would reach BGN 3 B; the future of the three large-scale Russian sponsored energy projects in Bulgaria, which require a lot of capital investments; and the issue about exposing the alleged crimes and murky deals of the three-way coalition that backed the Stanishev government.
Dimitrov said the Blue Coalition with its 15 MPs (GERB has 116 MPs out of 240) was going to guarantee the political stability of the new government; however, the Borisov cabinet could not use the trial-and-error method because "the heritage of the three-way coalition is really grim".
