Even if the National Assembly fails to pass a law to extend this year's budget, there is no legal obstacle to the payment of pensions to more than 2 million pensioners. Provisions in the Social Security Code regulate pension payments in the event of a non-adopted budget, reports BNR correspondent Tsvetelina Stoyanova. The National Social Security Institute will make the first pension payment for the coming year on January 7.

Yesterday, Asen Vassilev, co-leader of the "We Continue the Change" (PP) political party, said that pension payments could be in jeopardy if a law extending the 2024 budget is not passed by the end of the year.
