GERB will not support the budget in any of its parts, GERB leader Boyko Borissov told reporters in parliament.

The law obligating the Ministry of Finance to set a 3% deficit has to be repealed, he said, or, parallel with this budget, the finance minister has to send an analysis of the actual state of the country’s finances. The negotiations with Democratic Bulgaria (DB), the Bulgarian Socialist Party-United Left continue, negotiations are forthcoming with There Is Such a People (ITN), Boyko Borissov said further.

As regards the condition, set down by GERB for Borissov to be prime minister in a possible regular cabinet, he said: "I would never be the cause of anything happening! I know there is no one who can do the job better, but at the end of the day that is a collective decision."

As regards the agreement with Ukraine, Boyko Borissov commented that he is against the signing of long-term documents, adding that such a decision can be signed by the Council of Ministers and PM Glavchev does not need ratification by the National Assembly.
