"We are ready to sit down with you, to negotiate, to discuss, but not at the cost of our principles. Please, colleagues from other parties, if for the third time we tell you: "We will not surrender our principles", believe us, believe in this. If you don't believe us again, we will go to elections again". This was said by Kiril Petkov, co-chairman of "We continue the change" and one of the leaders in the coalition "We continue the change - Democratic Bulgaria" during the Reporting-Election Meeting of the party, broadcast by BTA.
In the next elections, you have to choose whether you want a prime minister who looks like a European academic with knowledge, uncorrupt, or you want both of them, asked Petkov, pointing to the photos of Boyko Borisov and Delyan Peevski. He made an appeal to them: "Don't be ashamed people, say it to yourself, no problem: "We solve everything together, we are one". It will be easier and fair," he added.
While you thought you were outplaying us tactically, a big change happened strategically, and this change cannot be reversed, Petkov said. Bulgarians changed their expectations and thinking. Only two and a half years ago, Bulgaria was a small and poor country. Now it is understood that it is not a poor country, it was just a very stolen country, added Petkov. This has changed in people's minds, he stated and noted another change - that Bulgaria can be a normal European country, and not a periphery dependent on Russia.
Regarding the relations with "Democratic Bulgaria" Petkov states that they are like one fist with them, because they have the same priorities and one vision - Bulgaria as a normal European country. We are different brands of one community, he added.
I stand in front of you and my eyes fill up, over 600 people from every corner of Bulgaria have stood shoulder to shoulder, well done, he congratulated the participating delegates in the reporting-election meeting.
Petkov commented that the demographic crisis is not so terrible if we have a normal economic policy. He indicated that what he regretted was that we did not achieve membership of the Eurozone. Europe said just a few days ago that it is waiting for us in the Eurozone, Petkov said and stated that after the elections they will complete this task. When we are the first political force in the next elections, we will continue and finish it, Petkov promised.
