It is a success for us that we keep this coalition with which we were in government stable. This is what he said in "More from the day" on BNT, MP from PP-DB Antoaneta Tsoneva on the occasion of the agreement signed by the leaders of the coalition for joint participation in the early parliamentary elections and the European elections, reports novini.bg.
For us, the strategic goal is to be able to protect the priorities that are important to us, asking for trust from the voters again. These priorities are the well-being of the people, raising their incomes, rule of law and a competitive environment that can modernize the country. For 2023, foreign investments grew by 30% to nearly BGN 7 billion. We had led the country in the right direction, but now we are stopping, said Tsoneva.
In response to a question, she explained that first in the list of "We continue the change - Democratic Bulgaria" for the European elections, diplomat Stefan Tafrov. Negotiations on the lists continue. Among the list leaders there will be representatives from all the parties that are in the coalition, the deputy pointed out.
When the caretaker government was formed, we had very strong criticism of the two ministers who are mainly responsible for conducting the elections – the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Minister of e-Government. From now on, the Ministry of Internal Affairs should speed up and dynamize its work and announce to the public what their plan is to limit vicious practices such as vote buying, emphasized Antoineta Tsoneva.
The Minister of e-Governance must take all actions on the certification of the machines so that what happened in the first round of local elections does not happen – machine voting was banned and 500,000 ballots were declared invalid, she added.
I am also concerned that the distribution of management appointments in the sectional commissions is 80% for GERB and DPS. My appeal is that we try to observe some decency and balance. This behavior of the Central Electoral Commission is extremely short-sighted in this situation, charged with tension and opposition, Antoineta Tsoneva also said
