The changes in the Constitution led to a political disaster, we are no longer talking about a crisis. In this catastrophe, "legal nihilists and political imbeciles pushed us". From one messiah to another messiah we reached 60% non-participation in voting.
This is what Rumen Petkov, chairman of the Alternative for Bulgarian Revival (ABV) party, former Minister of the Interior, told the BNR.
This development was predetermined by the legal nihilism of PP-DB and legislative actions that lead only to tremors, he stated.
According to the former interior minister, "there must be a very well-structured dialogue of the president with the potential candidates and very clear positions of the people who are or are not acceptable". Asked whether President Radev will miss his chance to form a party before his presidential term expires, Petkov stressed:
"I keep hoping that we will stop looking for messiahs. From one messiah to another messiah, we got to 60% absenteeism. Our insane election law has made voting mandatory. We ignore the fact that we have a crazy law that no one is changing and an offense is being committed that is not bothering anyone."
The left is the alternative, believes Rumen Petkov.
"Citizens will increasingly understand that the messiah is an obstacle. That looking for a messiah is a waste of time and money. A traditional formation such as a broad, strong, consolidated left is not just an alternative, but a future for Bulgaria."
We had a very clear technology for appointing caretaker governments, Petkov recalled.
"With the ugly changes to the Constitution, they limited the possible nominations for caretaker prime minister to 10. The political attack was launched by the same political morons who torpedoed the Constitution. (…) Today, if someone goes to these consultations of the people who torpedoed the Constitution, he should go with an electric car made in Lovech. These people lead us from scam to scam."
The figure of Kalin Stoyanov has raised many questions for months, Rumen Petkov pointed out.
"The same people who don't like him now proposed him as interior minister."
If tomorrow the servicemen come out and say who they want to be the minister of defense, what will we do, he commented in the program "Before all". Do we expect the Plovdiv Philharmonic to perform concerts against or in support of the Minister of Culture, Petkov gave an analogous example.
