"There have been changes in the texts between first and second reading concerning the law on personal badistance and we are confident that they will be reviewed tomorrow and will be subject to a new vote Friday." With these 150 million BGN, the problem is that they are not distributed. I hope that after the meeting today, it is clear that the main problem lies in the TEMP, and we hope very soon to have a fundamental reform that will begin with a reform in TEMP "said Ivanova.

"Amendments to the law on personal badistance will be introduced in stages, sufficient funds are provided," said Menda Stoyanova, chair of the National Assembly budget committee. "This year, we accept the budget of the Social Ministry with more than 1.3 billion BGN – the whole is centered on the social funds, as well as these 150 million BGN, some of which will constitute a guarantee for the implementation of the Personal Aid Act, and part – the Disability Act, so the commitment we made is already a fact, we met the mothers because they feared that this money is not enough to ensure the implementation of the law on badistance to the person but is introduced gradually and there will be money, and it is important to write texts on the is this help is implemented ", said Stoyanova She stressed that it is important to be definitively adopted both the law.

"I hope that after the latest clarifications that we have commented with the mothers, the Council of Ministers will accept them on Friday and that Parliament will vote in the room next week," Stoyanova said.

Prime Minister Borisov also told the media about the meeting with mothers of children with disabilities.

"Thank you for the meeting, although it was a bit hasty.One side, disabled people, other unions, employers, the energy sector, several decades of problems in the sector of Energy needs to be solved, as well as the problem of TEMP The stupid contracts that were signed for thermal power plants We are now wondering how to solve them and they can not be solved.We talked about this for three hours. All my respect for the mothers of children with disabilities .. respect and they were taken with a ua because they accepted the apology, it was a bit angry that the money was placed at a place, the others to each other, and we are clearly committed to this budget with 150 million more leva for disabled people, "said Borisov. "The second commitment – the social minister, as well as the mothers, the 16 or 17 groups represented at the national level, to distribute them properly, so that every person in difficulty has these funds that already exceed 1.5 billion. of problem solved, we understood today and yesterday, a scandal and we must gather over the nights and say that what we committed as a commitment is actually accomplished, "he added. "And we have made it essential, because the Parliament has already adopted it a bit and places it in the same place to see that 150 million more." From now on, we can also be useful with the Inertia and civic trust that these not-so-shy women have, these women call him.If the money that goes to TEMP goes everywhere directly to the place and to the person where he is necessary, if there is no abuse, "said Boyko Borisov

Previously, the Chair of the Parliamentary Budget Committee, Menda Stoyanova, 71 million leva are transferred from the central budget to the social ministry and the money of disabled people thus exceeds 460 million.

Part of this money will be used to ensure the implementation of the Disability Act and another part of the Human Rights Act, she explained.

Until now, mothers of disabled children went to an emergency meeting with Boyko Borisov. The reason is the open letter that they sent to the Prime Minister today. In this document, the mothers say that they are deceived and the law on personal badistance is "mutilated to 100%".

Before the meeting with Borisov, for more than two hours, the mothers negotiated in the National Assembly, under the chairmanship of Tsveta Karaiancheva, Speaker of the Parliament, with the Minister of Labor, Bisser Petkov, Chairman of the Budget Committee, Menda Stoyanova, about controversial texts of the bill on personal badistance.

Earlier in the day, Finance Minister Vladislav Goranov said the funds that had been contracted had been secured and announced in the state budget for 2019.

"The commitments we made to the mothers of children with disabilities for 150 million more leva are fulfilled according to our understanding," Finance Minister Vladislav Goranov said on the sidelines of parliament. He did not call for any confrontation and explained that the misunderstanding had not yet been badyzed:

"I understand that the final texts approved by the MEPs do not satisfy the mediator and some of the mothers, all the conversations I had with the Ombudsman about the Disability Act and the Law on Disability. The badistance to the person was as follows: 2019 – With the exception of the 150 million leva promised by the Prime Minister, no additional cost will be imposed, otherwise, if different badumptions are made, the Personal Assistance Act could even a billion, probably once the public has read this bill. "
