Everything is being done to stop Bulgaria from joining the eurozone, just like 4 years ago, GERB leader Boyko Borissov said in parliament. He announced that he would not help the prime minister and ensure a majority in the National Assembly for the adoption of the budget. We have a prime minister who must come and find a majority, Borissov added.

He said that he would wait until July, when the report on Bulgaria is expected. When asked why he changed his mind after talking about January 1, 2026, Boyko Borisov pointed out that in July the European Council is expected to come up with a political decision on Bulgaria's entry into the eurozone. The moment this decision is made, we can already talk about whatever else we want, he said. According to the GERB leader, another party could enter parliament by July and create even greater chaos in the country.
