The former MP from the BSP Alexander Simov published on his page on Facebook his comment on the removal of Rosen Zhelyazkov from the post of Speaker of the National Assembly. Here is his post:
The removal of Rosen Zhelyazkov can be told like an ancient Greek tragedy:
"Coalition of the poodle", roars Delyan Peevski and angrily waves a Euro-Atlantic fist, his eyes shining with ideology and values.
"Hypocrites! Congratulations to the new coalition!", moans Boyko Borisov in pain, like a true Antigone, bearing the initial ridiculousness of existence on her shoulders.
Choir of analysts:
"Wow, this is unprecedented! Unheard of! Scandalous! How could! What is this simplicity! Oh! Oh! Oooooh!"
The god from the machine does not appear.
End.
Through this story, I realized that I am already old.
Because it is neither unheard of nor unheard of for a speaker of the parliament to be removed at his end, and he was also only a day before the final suspension of work.
The expulsion of Zhelyazkov is not the product of any new coalition, but the surest sign of the fierce election battle that awaits us.
And, yes, it's not new.
I remember how in February 2005 (just a few months before the end of the 39th National Assembly) Ognyan Gerdzhikov was removed from his post by the votes of the separatists from the NDSV, called "New Time" with main participants Emil Koshlukov and Miroslav Sevlievski. It was the punitive action of the moderns against their former party, as well as an invitation to negotiations for participation in power. The tsarists read the sign - they gave Sevlievsky the opportunity to be Minister of Energy for a few months. This whole deal was paid for with Gerdzhikov's head, but to be honest, Bulgarian politics has seen even greater meanness here and there. A few months later "The New Time" made a lavish and rich campaign, but they never managed to enter the parliament.
After GERB, they did the same with Nikola Minchev just two years ago.
Speakers of parliaments become the first victims of the approaching elections.
This is the enduring formula of the logic of Bulgarian politics.
Today there is only one interesting detail. With their votes against Zhelyazkov PP/DB do not show any higher political principles. We all know that if the Assembly had survived another crisis cycle, they'd be bio-robots backing him to the punch.
Rather, their vote is self-incriminating.
Kiril Petkov announced that their vote was not against the man Zhelyazkov, but against the chairman of the National Assembly, who listens only to Borisov and Peevski.
I wonder when they came to this revelation? When did they see? Yesterday? That day? A week ago? While they were in Sglobka, Zhelyazkov didn't listen to Peevski and Borisov, and then suddenly he started, didn't he?
This is the ancient Greek at the end of this parliament. The urban right has clearly shown that for ten months it has existed in lies, deception and endless fraud.
