Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 73628, member: 636"] GERB boss Boyko Borisov said talks with employers and unions are back on after the government yanked their budget proposal following street protests. Finance Ministry meetings kick off with business groups KRIB and BIA plus the two big labor unions Podkrepa and CITUB, to hash out details, with reps from all four coalition parties joining the discussions. The tripartite council that includes Kiril Domuschiev, Dobri Mitrev, Dimitar Manolov and Lyuboslav Kostov will get working groups and the National Trade Union Congress restored. Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov pulled the 2026 budget earlier after thousands surrounded parliament, angry about higher taxes and social security contributions that were getting rammed through without proper consultation.
