The language of hatred is pouring out and the voters are retreating, said the member of the Executive Bureau of the party

Снимка: Bulgaria ON AIR

Our voters , a significant number of whom became disillusioned in the last election and did not vote for us, but did not vote for anyone, must be returned. Party leaders must take their responsibility as our leader did.

This was said by Dr. Alexander Simidchiev from the Executive Bureau of "Yes, Bulgaria" in the show "The Day ON AIR".

Each formation in the parliament represents its electorate, and the electorate of "Yes, Bulgaria" is sensitive, with high morals and understanding, he stressed.

"They want the people who represent it to behave. We can guarantee this by giving the maximum opportunity for people to have their say. All these things will be curative for the return of the people," said Dr. Simidchiev to Bulgaria ON AIR.

The truly great instability is the instability of the state's orientation, he believes.

"They are adopted within a day and engage the fabric of democracy. In the coming days, there will be such a second attempt with another such law. That is the real danger. I am referring to the law on the so-called foreign agents, because this is a one-to-one copy of laws that are adopted in the Russian Federation - they aim to limit political rights and freedoms. We're not rocking the boat, we're trying to steady it. A large part of my colleagues - Martin Dimitrov, Atanas Slavov, Nadezhda Yordanova, Antoaneta Tsoneva, are people who have decades behind them in situations close to those at the moment. They are people with experience," emphasized Dr. Simidchiev.

"I have been in politics for three years. I see what's happening. There is hate speech pouring in, including from the rostrum of Parliament. People who vote on the Democratic spectrum vote so they can feel well represented. If we have clear criteria by which we select our candidates, this is the biggest guarantee that democratically minded people will come back and start supporting this type of representation," explained Dr. Simidchiev.

In order to have a strong society, we must strive for it, he insisted.

"In Bulgaria, women live an average of 72 years, and men 69 years. We live more than 10 years less than the people we want to be counted among. Bulgaria has a lot to give, but also to take. I see serious political meandering among the GERB people. We have to think long-term," summarized Dr. Simidchiev.
