Bulgaria’s National Assembly failed to adopt a final decision on the amendments to the bill extending the 2022 state budget. At the proposal of GERB party, tomorrow's plenary session will begin with the final texts of the law. 

The minimum wage issue gave rise to tensions among the MPs at the beginning of the plenary session when the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) tried to include a bill on amendments to the Labour Code in the agenda. The leader of BSP, Kornelia Ninova, accused the caretaker cabinet appointed by President Rumen Radev of "freezing the population's income". 

The co-chairman of "We Continue the Change", Assen Vassilev, said that due to the decision of the caretaker cabinet not to submit a real budget, incomes will be frozen at least until June 2023. Caretaker Premier Galab Donev replied, "Do not manipulate and mislead Bulgarian citizens."
