Martin Dimitrov: PM Borisov should promise that VAT would not be raised
“The anti-crisis measures of the Borisov cabinet were populist ones and they started to fail, one by one. It is quite clear now that there would be no “luxury” tax and that many other populist ideas could not be realised. That is why we want PM Borisov to come in the parliament and to promise that the VAT would not be raised. Such a measure would be catastrophic and would seriously harm the Bulgarian economy,” the co-leader of the Blue Coalition – Martin Dimitrov, said at a briefing in the parliament, Focus News Agency reported.
