Nikolay Vassilev Vassilev is a Bulgarian politician from the National Movement "Simeon in the program "Offensive" on NOVANEWS.

"It is only a matter of time before interest rates on loans rise much more than at the moment.

Regarding the minimum wage, he said that it is good to raise it, but to BGN 800, not BGN 850. He also does not approve of the formula according to which the minimum wage is half of the average.

"Imagine what would happen in Northwestern Bulgaria, for example.

It will turn out that the minimum wage is equal to the average," Vasilev said.

He rejects the idea of ​​taking out loans to meet social security payments.

"1-2 years can happen.

After that, either our taxes will be raised dramatically, or the currency board will explode," Vassilev said.
