"In the parliamentary republic, the chairman of the National Assembly should be an example, not a censure. A series of actions taken by Mr. Zhelyazkov assured us definitively that he is not doing anything else in his capacity as Speaker of the National Assembly, except to fulfill the vows of Borisov and Peevski, said the MP from "We continue the change - Democratic Bulgaria". Lyudmila Ilieva in the studio of "The Day ON AIR".
In her words, the numerous actions taken by Zhelyazkov have shown that he does not follow the rules.
"It was a striking case that the voting procedure carried out resulted in the resignation of the chairman of the Health Fund. We have submitted a resignation, the day before the hearing, the vice-president withdraws his resignation. Resignation is a personal will," Ilieva explained.
In her words, the work of the National Assembly is not blocked by the fact that there is no chairman: "There are duly elected vice-chairmen. The official office does not remain unchecked.
The deputy defined the voted changes in the Constitution as imperative.
"The other day we dealt with the case study "Botash". Who messed it up? The official governments of President Radev. These are contracts binding both parties. Why do the persons who signed the "Botash" contract currently hold the positions of ministers in the current caretaker government? Ilieva also asked Bulgaria ON AIR.
According to her, there is a purge, specifying that "at all levels, persons who were appointed because they were suitable for the position are being dismissed.
"Mr. Stoyanov lost our trust at the very beginning of his time as Minister of the Interior because of his actions. It worries me that anyone can be a target of media attacks. Everyone who committed a crime should bear the consequences," she insisted.
The prosecutor's office is used as a political club and a tool for stealing businesses, Ilieva stressed. Adding that there are many examples of this.
"All citizens feel pressure. We have multiple signals of this ongoing pressure over the years. We are the only ones who want to push Bulgaria off the bottom. We go into this election with an honest message - the more trust we get, the more opportunities we have to influence the political system. We must make a commitment to our country," concluded the deputy.
