Compared to other European countries, inflation rates are too high. Speaking to journalists, Vice President Iliana Iotova, who participated in a conference entitled "Medical Error and Rules of Good Medical and Clinical Practice", stressed that that it is high time to speak up and, above all, to point out the reasons for the sharp rise in prices. 

According to Iotova, it is important having a stable majority in parliament and a regular government because there are things that cannot be done by a caretaker cabinet because they depend on specific legislative changes. There are long-term commitments that should be taken up by a regular cabinet. At the same time the parliamentary parties are giving citizens the impression that they do not want to form a government, Yotova said.

The Vice President pointed out that some 22 laws should be adopted urgently, without which we will not receive EU funding. "We are certainly the only country that has not fulfilled these obligations and conditions, and the big responsibility for this lies with the new MPs," she added. Iliana Iotova also pointed out that the current caretaker cabinet leaves a good legacy in terms of stability and fuel supplies. The cabinet has created an opportunity for transparent tenders, which will lead to predictability in the business climate.
