GERB lawmaker Georgi Dilov admitted his party knows bailing right away would be the smart political play, but he said state logic demands they push through the budget before heading into fresh elections. The guy figures GERB will rack up better numbers at the polls anyway since voters supposedly flock back during rough patches, and he claimed the whole minority government setup means they need every vote they can scrape together from anyone willing to cooperate.

Dilov went off about how corruption cuts both ways, asking why regular people expect perfection from politicians when they dodge taxes and slip cash to traffic cops themselves. He defended working with MRF as basic math for a weak coalition, and he pushed back on critics torching institutions like police and fire departments during protests.

The revised budget should land better with voters than the original version since it keeps tax rates flat, even though Dilov personally liked the first draft more.
