"The president never had a party. Certain people took advantage of the fact that they became famous alongside the president, because they were invited as ministers and made their own political project, and turned against the president. They are currently paying the bill for this problem. Will the president make a party, many people ask me this question. Many people are looking for a solution, because we all want to live better and not only with promises, but with actions", commented the former regional minister Arch. Ivan Shishkov for "The Day ON AIR".
According to him, more experts in politics are needed to work with a clear goal.
"Our cabinet was expert, but with a very clear political entity behind the cabinet. The clear political entity is the president, he appointed this cabinet, he stands with his name behind the cabinet, and he works for the benefit of the state and works to really do something - and something meaningful in some future horizon. The cabinet has a clear political goal, but it happens with experts," Shishkov explained to Bulgaria ON AIR.
According to his words, in the past there was no in-depth expert work in the regional ministry. There was some clear political purpose to build highways.
"Highways were being built piecemeal. Highway "Hemus" became an illusion because that's how we found it. There was no horizon to build on. We have not stopped any construction. We have completed all constructions on "Hemus". The problem is that we either give weight to politics or to expertise. Before becoming a politician, a person must be an expert," commented the guest.
Arch. Shishkov noted that Radev's caretaker government fulfilled its obligations despite the expiring deadlines.
"Most likely they will try to call some politicians from their second echelon "experts". Radev's expert government knew who had appointed him. We all worked because we had a clear goal. Besides we had to do things for Bulgaria, we had to do them in a stressful situation, because the deadlines for many things were running out. We are tired of politicians blaming themselves for their own failures. We have completed all the projects that we had inherited on time, but in practice we are suffering. Someone needs to step up and finish all these problems," he insisted.
