When politicians criticize the caretaker government over the budget, they are actually criticizing their own legislative decisions, caretaker Premier Galab Donev said at the beginning of the meeting of the Council of Ministers.

"At the end of last week we presented a draft national budget for 2023. The reactions of some politicians and commentators show that some essential points were left misunderstood. The figures reflect the reality that has to be taken into account, whether we like it or not. Measures to reduce deficits have been applied in the reasoning, although they were not included in the budget draft. In the event that they receive approval, they will be added to the draft. Any idea must enjoy support in Parliament. Anything else is tantamount to a zero-value attempt to talk the other side down", Premier Donev said.
