“Democratic Bulgaria” will propose to eliminate the possibility of paying bonuses to MPs in the performance of important tasks for the country. This was stated by Hristo Ivanov to the media on the sidelines of the parliament. He described the speculations in the media that, at the suggestion of the DB, the deputies’ salaries jumped over BGN 10,000 as an “ugly lie”.
“On the contrary, the possibility of additional payment is limited. This is a text that still exists in the regulations, which provides for the possibility, if necessary and when performing important tasks for the country, to have additional payment. Colleagues have proposed a limit of 25%, because at the moment it can be any amount. Colleagues have made efforts to limit it, however, and obviously on this occasion it was opened to the public attention in general, “Ivanov explained.
I have no idea what the salary of the deputies is and certainly an adequate assessment of their size and proportionality must be made and a decision must be made without excessive populism, Ivanov added. We did not come here to get rich, so we will certainly make that effort, he explained.
