Vassilev vows no retreat as budget protests grip Bulgaria

Opposition leaders told crowds outside government buildings that the spending plan needs to get scrapped completely, and Assen Vassilev said the ruling coalition loses any right to run the country if they push this thing through anyway. His colleague Ivaylo Mirchev blamed the whole mess on Peevski robbing regular people blind, and another party figure added that the oligarch cannot keep hijacking state power like this.

Borisov claimed he would pull the budget after protests erupted last week, but that turned into vague promises about meeting with unions and business groups instead. Reform party chiefs got into a shouting match with the GERB boss after realizing nothing actually changed, and that friction sparked another round of demonstrations across multiple Bulgarian cities.
