Balgarianovinite.com Continue the Change (CC) is the only party offering concrete measures to support families with children and young people in its election programme, Assen Vassilev, CC chair and top-of-the-list candidate of the Continue the Change – Democratic Bulgaria coalition for Haskovo’s 29th and Plovdiv City’s 16th constituencies, said at a closing campaign event in Haskovo on Friday ahead of the April 19 snap parliamentary elections.
Vassilev warned that a new global economic crisis could be emerging due to the war in Iran, making it especially important to safeguard household incomes for families and young people. He stressed that CC’s policies are not new and that most of the proposed measures have already been submitted in the 51st National Assembly.
The programme includes seven key measures: increasing the child tax credit to EUR 600, introducing 100% maternity benefits for mothers who return to work, having the state cover health insurance contributions during maternity leave, doubling maternity payments for twins and triplets, and providing additional support for pupils in grades five to seven. Vassilev also proposed removing the security detail assigned to Boyko Borissov and Delyan Peevski, with the saved funds used to build two kindergartens, as well as banning gambling advertisements in populated areas.
According to him, these policies would leave more money in family budgets. He added that addressing Bulgaria’s demographic crisis requires ensuring higher incomes for young families, along with improvements in healthcare, education, and more accessible urban infrastructure.
