Rumyana Kolarova and Krasimir Karakachanov in a bitter dispute about Bulgaria's role in Europe  - 1

Europe is our home. Our home, to whose shores boats with illegal migrants sink. A Europe where the European Prosecutor Laura Köveschi must intervene to stop the misuse of Community funds. The place where Bulgaria guards the external border, but is not allowed to its neighbors without inspection. Our Europe, in which all countries have the right to vote, but the big ones impose their will on the likes of us. A Europe that has a problem with the Green Deal, with transporters, with farmers. A community of writers for all values and solidarity in which nationalism is rampant. More than 400 million Europeans will decide how to change their home on June 9. In the show “Jaws” the political scientist Prof. Rumyana Kolarova and the leader of VMRO Krasimir Karakachanov clashed their points of view.

„The political role that Bulgaria can have is equal to the political role of Sweden and Austria. The fact that the Bulgarians do not use the fact that we are a medium-sized country is the fault of the Bulgarian parties and politicians, Kolarova said.

In response, former Defense Minister Krasimir Karakachanov gave an example of incomplete Schengen membership. “Austria illegally stops Bulgaria from full Schengen membership. Instead of reacting, our then Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov and Deputy Prime Minister Maria Gabriel signed an agreement in which we agree to accept a large number of migrants and they lied to us that we had achieved a major breakthrough, Karakachanov said.
