Christmas supplements for pensioners will be granted under favorable circumstances, Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov stated to media representatives. The Prime Minister's statement comes against the backdrop of the approaching Christmas holidays and the increased interest in the issue of financial support for the elderly in the country.
To a specific journalistic question regarding the possibility of providing Christmas supplements this year, the Prime Minister responded laconically: "If I have the opportunity, yes". His statement raises both hopes and questions about the financial state of the state and its priorities.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov took part in an official ceremony related to the “The Doctors We Trust” project for 2025. The event, organized in Sofia, brought together many doctors, recognized by their patients. The atmosphere was filled with gratitude and respect for medical workers. Journalists covered the awards with interest, while the participants shared stories of care and professionalism.
The issue of Christmas supplements gains additional urgency against the backdrop of a statement made two days ago by Denitsa Sacheva, deputy chair of the parliamentary group of GERB-SDS. On Nova TV, she emphasized that Christmas supplements for pensioners are not planned for the current year, while also pointing out the limited budgetary possibilities for such measures. This statement raises the question of the government's priorities in the context of economic challenges and the social needs of the population.
