Many things can be done in the municipality. Since the time when the Metropolitan Municipal Council started working, we have done quite a few things. Much of the decisions at the local level depend on the decisions at the national level. This was stated by the leader of “Solidary Bulgaria” and municipal councilor Vanya Grigorova in the program “Face to Face” on BTV.
Left formations have always existed, but why such a division is reached, perhaps the leadership of the BSP should answer. We saw the tension in Sofia after the local elections and how it continued. I don't feel like talking about the BSP, she specified.
She commented on the claims of the “Left”, according to which she had behaved in an authoritarian manner. “I wanted to have a decisive voice in participating in a wider coalition. They decided they could not accept this. I didn't want a repeat of what happened in the local elections – union representatives to be placed back on the lists, as happened in SOS, and I had to fight alone for wages for several months. Therefore, I think it is key to have representatives of the workers directly in the management. I can't let myself once again go somewhere alone, without the people I fight for. After all, if the goals for which I am entering this race cannot be accomplished, then there is no point in me getting involved. A person needs like-minded people to fight hard battles, Grigorova stressed.
„Ms. Manolova and I managed to agree on the framework of our cooperation. With her we can complement each other well – "I with my pro-union orientation, and she with the fight against monopolies and the protection of consumer rights," Vanya Grigorova pointed out.
„I do not approve of NATO pushing us into a military conflict that is not ours. Referendum on all issues – Yes. Including whether to be part of the Eurozone. For me, it is unacceptable for 240 people to decide whether to allow such a poll or not. There is an investigation into a previous weapon that we sold through middlemen and it is not clear that it went where it was supposed to. They make us give each other all the available weapons we have. I do not approve of NATO's positions and policy, which is imposed in Bulgaria. It is as if we are not full members, but shake our heads at everything that is assigned to us, she was categorical.
