Boyko Borisov’s Deficit Dilemmas and No Government Games
Ah, politics—the only sport where the fans always feel slightly robbed, the players get paid from our pockets, and the referees (mostly politicians) just point fingers and pretend nothing’s happening. Boyko Borisov, the leader of GERB, recently had a chat that could only be described as his version of a motivational speech gone hilariously wrong! It’s like watching a bad stand-up routine where the punchlines just don’t land. Let’s dig in, shall we?
Money Matters—or Does It?
Borisov has been talking about the deficit for the seventh time, as if he’s trying to sell you a subscription to something that’s been utterly free for ages. “Incomes have risen,” he points out, looking rather pleased with himself. Well, yes, but that’s like saying you bought a fancy new car while ignoring the fact that gas prices make you duck-walk to the pump—and bazinga!—you’re immediately broke! So, congratulations, you’ve got a shiny paycheck but not a lot of purchasing power. It’s like having a new toy but forgetting to buy the batteries!
Robbery Beyond Compare
Borisov then takes a sharp left turn into the land of metaphors by likening the price hikes of gasoline and oil to the escapades of the Kardashians. Now, let me get this straight—he’s claiming they “robbed you like the Kardashians”? Because if by that he means they decked out their wallets at your expense without ever acknowledging your pain, then we are indeed living in a reality show! Imagine being robbed while watching “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” – you’d be too busy rolling your eyes to even notice!
Marathon Madness
And then, out of the blue, Borisov goes all Forrest Gump on us, reminiscing about marathons in Sofia. Why? Not entirely sure! It’s like he thinks that if he throws in a marathon anecdote, it’ll distract us from the fact that his party has become synonymous with a political deadlock. “During a marathon, Sofia is closed!” he cries out, as if that’s the answer to sustainable governance. Note to Boyko: the marathon isn’t the only thing that should be run efficiently!
Taxation and Irresistible Comparisons
Now remember, Borisov is against raising taxes. Can we get that on a t-shirt? “I’m Boyko, and I would rather *not* take money from you, but the world is so fascinating, isn’t it?” He hints that without a “normal regular government”—whatever that means—we can’t even throw a coin into the wishing well of investments. In typical Borisov fashion, he claims he’s pulled us from three crises “in the best way in the world!”—as if he’s offering free shots at a bar! Yet somehow, even after two consecutive electoral wins, he can’t seem to form a decisive government. That’s like winning the lottery and then spending it all on tickets hoping one will eventually win.
Political Aftermath and Promises
To cap off his melancholic ramble, he calls for compromise like a schoolteacher pleading with kids not to fight over the last cookie. “We all have to tighten up!” he says—sounds like a recipe for a middle-class dinner party gone wrong!
Borisov seems convinced that with just a “normal government,” all will be well. Because for him, the ability to talk to Brussels hinges on whether or not he can find a buddy to form a government. “Without a government, we are like a ship without a rudder—aimlessly drifting towards the Bermuda Triangle of political instability!”
In Conclusion
So here we are, my friends! Who knew listening to Borisov could be a roller coaster? One minute you’re celebrating salary increases, and the next, you’re knee-deep in metaphors about reality television and fuel prices. Who says politics isn’t entertaining? Church bells ringing, marathons collapsing, and accusations of robbery wrapped up in political theatrics—it’s a circus out there! If only we could all get *paid* to watch.

Let’s keep the conversations rolling – after all, the only thing clearer than Borisov’s political stance these days is that life—and politics—could always use a few less Kardashians and a bit more clarity.
“For the seventh time, we are talking to people about the deficit. Asen Vasilev rightly says that incomes have risen, but with us, if they were by 10%, inflation was around zero and with them you had purchasing power. Now you actually have more big salary, but you buy less.” This was stated by GERB leader Boyko Borisov in Razgrad, BGNES reported.
“And when salaries and pensions were raised, they raised the prices of gasoline and oil by one lev to get their money back. They robbed you like the Kardarashis rob people. (In order not to affect his Roma voters, Borisov fixed on the Kardarashis.) Billions they took from your pockets. Gasoline and oil are now the same as they were before the derogation, and this robbery went unpunished,” Borisov once again repeated Delyan Dobrev’s favorite thesis about the price of fuel during the PP-DB, BSP and ITN government.
Then he remembered the marathon in Sofia and how the city was closed, given that always during a marathon – including during the management of GERB, Sofia is closed.
“For several years we have been living without an anchor to hold the state in this delicate moment of distributing the public resource between capital expenditure, income and everything else. The easiest thing is to raise taxes, which we are categorically against. Without a normal regular government we we cannot attract investors. We have pulled you out of three crises in the best way in the world!”, Borisov also boasted.
After the three crises – the financial crisis in Greece, the refugee crisis, the covid crisis, came this political crisis, which turned out to be the worst of all. But he failed to admit that GERB is part of the political crisis, since it won the elections twice in a row, but could not form a government.
“We all have to tighten up and compromise and be willing to do it,” said the GERB leader. He pointed out that it is possible to get out of the political crisis with political sense, “with the measures we have listed, and if everyone fulfills their promises, we will not budge from education, security, rehabilitation”.
“I will do everything possible to have a government,” he promised, seeing himself as the winner of the election.
“When there is a regular government, the conversation with Brussels is different, the conversation with the neighbors – the same. And a country that cannot broadcast a government for the seventh time, is not reliable in their eyes,” stressed Borisov.
