Another day in Paradise, nothing has changed since the first day. This was what Sofia Mayor Vasil Terziev said in the program "Na fokus" on Nova TV in connection with the Supreme Administrative Court's return for reconsideration of the case for his election as mayor of the capital.
It's clear that the battle will be difficult and long. It's clear that it can't happen as quickly and easily as some people imagine. We have prepared an extensive report on what has been done over the past year, as well as the reasons why some things haven't happened, he added.
The truth is that the year was successful, the failures are minimal. This year, more things will be visible to citizens. The mandate is 4 years, so that you have a longer horizon in which to show results.
For me, this case has not changed my decisions in any way. My corrective and my desire is to do something for the citizens. We have all suffered from the arbitrariness of certain institutions, but as long as I am mayor of the capital, I will work for the people of Sofia, the mayor of Sofia pointed out.
They saw that they could not buy me, they could not scare me. Different methods are constantly used against the team, since there are huge economic interests in the Municipal Council that take precedence over political interests. There have been approaches, absolutely all instruments have been tried. It was seen that there was no breakthrough in a year and this clearly traumatized them quite a bit. We make mistakes, but neither I nor my team have compromised with our conscience, emphasized Vasil Terziev.
According to him, despite the criticism directed at him today by the leader of "Save Sofia", there is no rift in their relationship.
As much as people want to see more drama in our relationship, nothing has changed. Our differences are not about the main priorities, but about how quickly things can happen. In any sphere, things cannot happen quickly, because there are many divergent vectors and many different interests. We are a democratic coalition – everyone has the right to express their opinion. I take into account every criticism, noted the mayor of the capital.
