Record-high expenses in 2017 state budget is Capital daily’s main headline on Thursday. The Bulgarian authorities are planning again huge budget deficit, in order to co-finance EU projects. The money allotted to the state administration is to increase with EUR 200 million next year, the newspaper specifies. The Bulgarian Ministry of Interior and Bulgaria’s Ministry of Defense are to spend most money from next year’s state budget, Trud daily informs. The government decided that 1.2 million Bulgarian pensioners will receive EUR 20 Christmas bonus to their December pensions, Standard daily writes.
Fear of integration or integration of fear, Trud daily writes on its first pages on Thursday. What is the point of calling someone Roma instead of Gypsy, if we continue to treat that person in a gypsy manner, author Miroslav Murdzhov asks on occasion of the massive wave of discontent from the plans of Bulgaria’s authorities to allot scholarships to the tune of EUR 30 per month to Bulgarian pupils of Roma origin. The only way to integrate those Bulgarian citizens is to offer them adequate education, the author of the article summarizes.
2.2 million of the Bulgarian people live below the poverty line, the Dnevnik newspaper writes on occasion of the latest analysis of the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria.

According to consultants, the competition for English universities will be severe.
