PP-DB reps told journalists the draft budget needs to get pulled back. DSB leader Atanas Atanasov said whoever submitted this thing has to yank it during their morning meetup, then do the whole legal song and dance with the Tripartite before bringing it back for parliament's first reading.
Asen Vassilev from We Continue the Change pointed out they've passed budgets in four weeks before, and if they pull it back right away, it could still get done before the New Year. He said his crew would grind through the holidays just like regular Bulgarian workers do, but the correct move is scrapping this version and building a new macro framework. Without major revisions to satisfy citizens and businesses, he's expecting more protests to pop off.
When journalists asked where pension funding would come from, Vassilev basically said that's the finance minister's problem to figure out, and if the guy can't hack it, he should bounce and let someone else take the job.
