From "BSP for Bulgaria" they want an increase in social payments.

Among their proposals is an increase in the minimum wage to 50% of the national average or to make it BGN 850.

Also, if possible, a ceiling on the prices of natural gas, water, heating and electricity for households should be introduced.

The Ministry of Finance has calculated that such a thing will lead to 4.8 billion BGN more expenses.

In this situation, the deficit would reach 9.4% of the country's GDP.
