The meeting of the Consultative Council on National Security convened by President Georgi Purvanov was widely seen as an attempt by Purvanov to grab the limelight from Prime Minister Boiko Borissov, but had the positive spin-off of affirming broad-based support for the Government’s attempt to address the economic crisis.

The detailed plan, with defensible principles, multiple measures and specific timeframes, and which takes into account the views of business and labour, will require consensus for concerted action to succeed. For now, economic recovery is an issue that must transcend petty politicking.
