A GERB representative, Denitsa Sacheva, defended the selection of Rumen Spetsov as the special commercial manager for Lukoil Neftochim, dismissing criticism from the PP-DB coalition. She stated that Spetsov possesses extensive professional experience in fuel sector control and anti-smuggling efforts dating back many years. She emphasized that his appointment was agreed upon by coalition partners and is supported by international institutions, noting that he would lead a team of experts rather than make decisions alone.

Regarding national fiscal matters, Sacheva described the proposed 2026 budget as the only realistic option, rejecting opposition claims of irresponsible government spending. She addressed the planned increase in social security contributions, clarifying that it amounts to a two percent rise shared between employees and employers. She attributed current budget difficulties to previous fiscal management, which she said normalized a significant deficit.

Sacheva confirmed that the budget does not include Christmas bonuses for pensioners due to financial constraints. She also expressed confidence that the government would withstand any potential vote of no confidence.
