Nikolov: If they gave up just 1.2% in expinditre, the government would have 36 million euros

-

The opposition has a different view from the government as to where to provide 36.4 million euros, which are meant to serve as compensation to citizens from the flooded areas, said the Chairman of the Committee for Finance and Budget, Marjanco Nikolov from the SDSM, at today’s session on the revised budget.

“To provide these 36 million euros without increasing the deficit, the government would have to give up just 1.2% of total expenditures from the budget. If only they had cut spending to just 1.2% of goods and services, from purchasing furniture and vehicles, equipment and machinery, there would be enough money to compensate the citizens without having to borrow more”, stated Nikolov.

According to him, the politics are wrong and the way the government decided to adopt the rebalance.

“We, as the opposition, have proposed 11 amendments. With these amendments we offer certain rates which will cut a total of 27 million euros to reduce the budget deficit and at the same time to provide the money to compensate citizens affected by the floods”, Nikolov added.

He suggested the state should give up on the money allocated to the baroque buildings, five million euros allocated for advertisements, the Ministry of Transport and Communications to cut money which is allocated for beaches, to cut the funds for the cable cars, and from the building of the Ministry of Transport and Communications, money for the Garden of Eden and the Ferris wheel.

Nikolov requested that on a weekly basis a list is published of all the citizens whose homes were in the assessment of damages, and whose homes need repairing.

“We need to do this to prevent any misuse or abuse of the aid. We can see that the advance aid of 500 euros has not yet been paid to citizens, even though from today a week went by since the first deadline passed and the government said that everyone will be reimbursed 500 euros. After today, a week as gone by, and some citizens are not even on the list”, said Nikolov.
