Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 74541, member: 636"] Ninova ripped into Bulgaria's spending proposal, accusing officials of lying about having zero other options. The plan raises insurance payments for ordinary workers while boosting politicians' paychecks and funding questionable construction like an 8-kilometer road segment with a 2-billion-leva price tag. The opposition leader is calling for ongoing demonstrations to force out the current leadership, warning that national obligations will approach 50 billion euros down the line. Borisov seemed to halt proceedings after street protests erupted, though what he actually did stays murky. Unions added to the confusion by backing the figures initially before switching to protest mode. Water bills face a 13-percent hike even as infrastructure falls apart nationwide, with flooding hitting some zones while others resort to bucket systems. [/QUOTE]
