"Seek to undermine confidence": the Russian Federation tries to block the path of Bulgaria to the euro - minister Vasilyev

According to the Minister of Finance of Bulgaria Asen Vasilyev, there are many Russian propaganda in Bulgaria, but the Bulgarians are quite prudent to understand what their interests are. The Russian Federation intensifies the moods of Eurosceptics in Bulgaria, which are aimed at blocking the country's deeper integration into the European Union and accepting the unified currency of the bloc (euro - ed. ).

On September 27, the Minister of Finance of Bulgaria Asen Vasykov Vasilev stated, Bloomberg reports. "Fake news sites, coordinated attacks and political parties, which have very close ties with Russia, seek to undermine trust in the euro during a campaign that has fallen in the summer," the statement said. Vasilyev stated that the Republic of Bulgaria would adhere to its plan for changing the currency by 2025. "We saw fake news, we saw Russian propaganda.

Russia will try to stop further European integration in general and try to destabilize any effort in this direction by any country," Vasilyev said. According to journalists, the Bulgaria government wants to introduce the euro to increase their standard of living and deepen its role in the EU decision -making process.

But Russia's war against Ukraine and the energy crisis in Europe helped provoke a surge in inflation and intensified fears that the only currency could lead to rising prices in the country. However, the Lion of Bulgaria is already attached to the euro within the framework of currency management, and monetary policy accurately corresponds to the policy established by the European Central Bank in Frankfurt. And the mood changes, according to Vasilyev.

Inflation is declining, and its government, which has come to power in June, enjoys the support of a large pro -European coalition of former rivals. "Although here (in Bulgaria - Ed. ), There are probably more pro -Russian sentiment and much more Russian propaganda, the Bulgarians are quite prudent to know what their interests are. People begin to see the benefits not only What we have, but also the actual possession of the euro, ”he said.
