Obim bugarske ekonomije je već počeo da se smanjuje, i očekuje se da će se kasnije u toku godine još smanjiti, ali Stanishevljeva vlada je navodno razbacivala javne resurse čak i nakon što su izborni rezultati postali jasni.
While the Bulgarian economy has already begun to shrink and is expected to contract further later this year, Stanishev's government allegedly squandered public resources even after the election results were clear.
