Parliament Kristian<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">Vigenin. He pointed out the fact that there is no case of a country <\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">\u200b <\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">\u200b<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">joining the eurozone and becoming poorer<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">, nor is there a case of the incomes<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">\u200b <\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">\u200b<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">\u200b <\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">\u200b <\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">\u200b<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">of citizens falling.

Nobody can take our victories away. And exactly which currency we pay with is hardly the most important thing. Besides, the euro is the most stable currency at the moment.   <\/span><\/span> <span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">Bulgaria is becoming part of the group of the most developed European countries and that should give us additional national self-confidence, not take it away.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s5\"><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">Kristian Vigenin emphasised that through their participation in government the socialists are a guarantee that they will not allow Bulgarians to become poorer. &#8220;The <\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">state, through its structures and institutions, has to watch carefully what happens. And if the analyses show that there are certain social groups that are to some extent disadvantaged or gain less <\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">than others from eurozone membership, the necessary compensatory measures have to be taken. These are usually the people with the lowest incomes. But the state has its mechanisms for dealing with this,   <\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">through raising the<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\"> minimum wage, the minimum pension, and pensions in <\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">general,<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\"> and<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\"> granting additional<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\"> social benefits<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">&#8220;, the MEP commented. He believes it is  <\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">also time for a new tax policy,<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\"> such<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\"> as progressive<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\"> <\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">income taxation. &#8220;There<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">are many mechanisms for redistributing wealth so that social divisions close rather than widen further. We will watch this very carefully <\/span><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><span class=\"bumpedFont15\">&#8220;, Kristian Vigenin
