Former finance chief Vladislav Goranov has defended the spending blueprint as reflecting coalition consensus necessary for eurozone entry, dismissing opposition calls for revisions. The GERB official blamed predecessor Assen Vassilev for corrupting fiscal management through debt-financed initiatives like the Hemus motorway project, whose costs have since tripled, while accusing ex-premier Nikolay Denkov of populist pension bidding that destabilized long-term budgeting.

Goranov predicted political normalization once President Rumen Radev's tenure concludes, arguing the head of state inappropriately intervened in executive fiscal policy despite constitutional limitations. He acknowledged labor cost increases create economic headwinds, yet emphasized Bulgarians have achieved unprecedented prosperity on the Balkan peninsula.

Regarding detained Varna mayor Blagomir Kotsev, Goranov described him as a media construct who purged qualified administrators, hinting at undisclosed judicial evidence justifying extended custody.
