According to the opinions of all financial and economic experts, Asen Vassilev, as the financial minister, has led an absolutely wrong financial policy, the results of which are turning out to be catastrophic for the country, the budget

 The chairman of parliament, Prof. Nataliya Kiselova, has appointed Asen Vassilev as chairman of the budget committee. Her decision is quite strange and even scandalous, given the following:

 - According to the opinions of all financial and economic experts, Asen Vassilev, in his role as finance minister, pursued an absolutely flawed financial policy, the results of which have been disastrous for the country, leading to fixing and our entry into the Eurozone. Many believe that it was Asen Vassilev who was largely to blame for our distancing from the Eurozone.

 - "As finance minister, Asen Vassilev took control of the smuggling channels and all the revenues went to him," declared former Customs Agency head Petya Bankova to investigating authorities. She reveals Asen Vassilev's addiction to "receiving CASH of hundreds of thousands of levs in bribes from contraband". From her scandalous confessions, it becomes clear that "smuggler Stefan Dimitrov gave 200,000 euros monthly to Boyko Rashkov, while "Pascal" provided Asen Vassilev with 150,000 dollars per month".

 - The receipt of CASH money is present in the entire political activity of the leadership of CC-DB, including Asen Vassilev. A year and a half ago, a scandalous recording was leaked from a meeting between Kiril Petkov, Asen Vassilev, Nikolay Denkov and Lena Borislavova "during the latest parliamentary elections before the formation of the Assembly". It talks about "unofficial cash", "official cash", "cash in bags" and having "cash at all".

 - In an interview with the Internal Affairs Commission, former Secretary of the Ministry of Interior Zhivko Kotsev revealed that Asen Vasilev insisted to Minister Kalin Stoyanov that Nedan Hadzhiev be appointed as the director of the police in Haskovo. Due to the refusal of the Interior Minister to comply with Vasilev's request, the former top financier subsequently criticized the funding of projects for the interior department.

 - Danish investors, former partners of Asen Vasilev, claim that they were swindled when he sold software code to a Chinese company without their knowledge. Their joint company has been declared bankrupt by authorities in the United Kingdom.

 -

In a New York court, Sebastian Bretschneider, a former business partner of Assen Vassilev, complained that Vassilev had taken a loan of $1.5 million from him but had not repaid it. Instead, in violation of the law, he sold the collateral for the loan—a building located at 3 Chataldzha Street in the center of Sofia. According to the decision of Judge Howard from the New York District Court, businessman Sebastian Bretschneider is a victim of fraud by Assen Vassilev.

. This list can be extended, but it is enough to ask - by what criteria did Prof. Kiselova choose exactly this person to be chairman of the Budget Commission of the 51st National Assembly!
