We do not foresee any upheavals with the entry of the Eurozone. It will not affect purchasing power. Out of 27 countries, 20 are already part of the Eurozone. If there was no use, would they have the ambition to be part of this family. Social Minister Ivanka Shalapatova commented on this on bTV. According to her, there will be positives for the economy.
If your salary is BGN 1,250, it will be 635 in euros, she calculated. The average pension is BGN 883, which is 450 in euros.
Rounding would have benefited people. There will be peace of mind for the people, is categorical Shalapatova, who recalled that Croatia did not register a drop in income after the introduction of the euro.
By increasing pensions by 11%, we are ahead of price increases. This is our policy, Ivanka Shalapatova also said. She added that her priority is also for the elderly to remain participants in public life, not to live alone and forgotten.
In addition to improving the financial situation, our goal is to improve access to social services for people with disabilities, the minister said. This year there were also more investments in the social sphere. By the end of the year, there will be a state agency for people with disabilities in order to have a full-fledged policy, Shalapatova also said.
At this stage I have no indication of failure. I have difficult tasks not only on the policies for the corpse market, for the disabled, for the collective labor agreement. I’m focused on that. My most important critic is the citizens. This is how Ivanka Shalapatova answered the question of whether she remains in her post after the rotation.
