Давай Бат Бойко ДАВАЙ !!!

joining us on set, rosen, president of the republic of bulgaria. hangs so much for joining us. thank you. love to talk about the eu. i saw some comments from the czech president and i'm one did dering bulgaria was able to float debt and lower interest rates. the destruction of europe's democracy, he just said this recently is in its final phase because of two faced politicians that have opened the door to an eu super state. do you find yourself looking -- are you on germany's side in trying to hold back on moving too closely together or do you think -- are you on the southern european side? i have a meeting today and i'll ask him will the direct question. but let's face the two sides of the question you said to me. the one is about the financial markets, yes, they trust bulgaria. why is that, because bulgaria pays -- is a country with extreme low debt. we just have 16% gdp. it is just $5 billion. really nothing. on on the other side of the deficit, running surplus. but 0.7% minus at the end of the year. bulgaria jumps in this year by 12 places up in the world economic forum competition just based on its competitive advantages from 74 to 62. and the most important thing, we're growing. it's 1.3, 1.5 percent. next year we're planning 2%. bulgaria is an island of stable and if you're stable, you can grow and move. it just see to me countries that were more under the soviet infence have become more capital list tick and some of countries that -- are you less socialistic than some -- do you know how much the bulgarian government takes out of the gdp? 36%. do you know how much that is in france some 55%. we believe the private sector by it definition is more effective than the public one before because of that, we leave the money to the private sector. just 36%. bulgarian budget out of the gdp. i know other presidents that -- i don't hear that same rhetoric from other presidents. the country's in central and eastern europe prove that they can -- look at the situation now. in bulgaria, we have pension reform, educational reform and many other reforms. so if you are capable of taking tough decisions and you can prove that you can perform, well, markets will trust you and investors will do the same. mr. president, up until about a year ago or maybe less, you were planning on joining the euro. could you see a point in the future at which you would still want to adopt the euro? on the long future, definitely yes. bulgaria will be waiting to see how the whole story will be developing. let me give an example. tax rate in bulgaria is 234r59 flat rate 10% on personal and corporvel. by reducing the taxes, we have improved and increased the income of the state. so by doing so, bulgaria is a good example that you can be effective. doesn't sound fair, does it, andrew? does sound fair to you, 10%? the 10% tax was introduced a couple years ago and we are very stable. the question would be what's the income distribution look like in your country. income distribution today we started an interesting discussion in bulgaria about a salary improvements and pension improvements. and as a president, do you know with a was the question i was asked at the parliament some fine, we will increase our pensions. where is the money going to come from? are we going to really get the money out of credit and increasing can debt as bulgaria was not an example of quick, cheap, easy increase of salaries on a depth base. we are an example of a country which which iseady to work out its salaries. there is plenty to be done. but we redistribute what we produce and not what we wish. what about unemployment. it's a problem that has plagued a lot of european nations. you're right. unemployment before the crisis was a about below 8%. now it's about 11%. butlowest, but not the highest. it's more average. it's gone up during the period of the crisis. where do you see a year or two from now? well, the unemployment will definitely get a trend to be to reach 9%. we start some programs especially in the youth unemployment. we do have agram offering 19,000 working places until the end of the year. of course bulgaria in the past was also an education center. and during the soviet communist time, bulgaria was the silicon valley of the soviet bloc. and even now we have a vibrant i.t. cluster and we're are targeting special programs with america and israel with the european upto position bulgaria -- are you in favor of a much closer union with the rest of europe even if it means that countries have want been as fiscally responsible as you, that they're going to benefit? should be a fiscal union, do you want to move quickly towards that? i am pro european president. and we believe that the next phase of integration in you're of that going to come. what i would like to see more in europe is that politicians taking -- it took four years since the collapse of lehman brothers and we are thinking about this and the other one. and if you want the investors and world to trust you, you need to trust yourselves first. you have a plan. you're moving in the right direction. so this is all about europe having a plan, sticking to it. it is going to be financial union, fine. political union, fine. banking union. but please develop and move. bring results. you're going to share the problems of countries that are not quite as private sector oriented as you are. you're right. you'll take onand spain and italy and france. you'll take all those problems. your people, which are finally getting to the point where they'll be able to enjoy some of the prosperity from your efforts you're willing to -- you're right, but let me tell you something. europe even now, it's in some troubles. europe has a bright future and everyone should work for this. a more integrated europe, world economic power. some of the same market reforms that you've already affected. effected. they're aware that competitiveness is an important tool. perception of corruption. european commission comes out with a -- recently came out with a new study. bulgaria is on the list. how do you change the perception in terms of the corruption issue among the business community, among the political community? 3 1/2 years ago, bulgaria hit some difficulties with the the european structure. they had been stopped for some of the big infrastructure all projects. now bulgaria only one of the three european countries which performs great and has no structure stopped. how this change happen? well, there was a very bold decision by the government to employ young people. now we have ministers, experts, 33 years old, 35 years old, as managers. they just focus on improving transparency and what we're doing on big infrastructure projects. and actually today the error rate of bulgaria running european structural funds fell dramatically down from 15% down to one of the best in europe. change is possible within 3 flf years and bulgaria is a good example of this. very good. president, thank you. i thank you, too. between luck at the united nations and all the meetings this week. thank you very much for

Вода написа:В българска политика им дай да правят мърсотии, да крадат, да лъжат, да се опитват да злепоставят всеки, който е по-различен или по-нагоре във властта, така че точно сега излизането на "това" нито ме учудва, нито ми е интересно, а по скоро ми се повръща. Не се научиха тези хора, че за да се оправи нещо трябва да се стремим да направим нещо по-добре от предишния, а не да действаме подмолно, да лъжем и да се чудим какво и как да разрушим. Трябва българина да си пренасочи енергията в друга посока, да се научи да помага.
