Opposition claims victory, public outcry forces budget retreat

PP-DB co-chair Assen Vassilev said he is pumped that regular Bulgarians got heard after the government ignored opposition lawmakers, experts, and business groups who complained about the trash 2026 budget. GERB boss Boyko Borisov called an emergency meeting and killed the whole thing following massive street protests against higher social security payments and more taxes.

Ivaylo Mirchev from Yes Bulgaria wants the coalition to accept their policy ideas and dump all the planned business restrictions after citizens showed up and made noise. The ruling party caved hours later when Borisov told everyone at the Joint Governance Council meeting that they needed to restart talks with the Tripartite Council and calm everyone down.
