„Last year they lied to us that there would be no appreciation of the euro. Now they are lying to us that there is no direct threat and problem for Bulgaria after the strikes against Iran“.
This was said by Rumen Radev, leader of the “Progressive Bulgaria“ formation, quoted by bTV.
“The government must get its head out of the sand and frankly admit that we are facing difficult trials. Households are already exhausted after the bills of the first two months. Small businesses are exhausted. The government must examine what the real reserves of crude oil, fuels and gas are“, he added.
According to him, the cabinet must track all quantities and pricing of electricity from the producer to the end consumer.
“I hope the G-7 will release reserves to minimize the oil price crisis. Iliana Yotova's prerogative is to convene a National Security Advisory Council. Before that, the executive branch must conduct an analysis“.
„This unilateral intervention without a UN mandate, experience shows, leads to escalation and long-term instability. We are already a victim. Europe is the biggest victim. Inflation has gone up, there is a risk of terrorism“, Rumen Radev also commented.
The leader of „Progressive Bulgaria“ explained that our military modernization has slowed down, and now we rely on neighboring countries.
Participation in the elections
„The loudest in the request to present the lists, but where are their lists? "I have already stated that we will respect the legal deadline in which we will present both the lists and the program," Radev commented on the upcoming election campaign.
“I have not hidden. I will participate in the lists. I will be in parliament, not from the couch“, he also said.
