President Rumen Radev's goal is not to ask, but to use people! This was stated to the Bulgarian National Radio by Denitsa Sacheva, deputy chairwoman of the GERB-SDF parliamentary group, emphasizing that the actions of the head of state are detrimental to public interests:
"We define these actions as either simple populism or deliberate sabotage. The goal is not to ask people, but to use people. The president is in his second term, and for almost two years Bulgaria was governed by his caretaker governments, if he wanted to hear the people's opinion about the euro, he had enough opportunities to exercise his powers and do this. He did not do it. At the time, he expressed the opinion that the referendum, which was initiated by "Vazrazhdane", had an unconstitutional issue and was against launching this referendum at the time. What happened - there can be various speculations. What he aims to achieve with this action, just a few weeks before the convergence report is released, we can only guess," she commented.
According to her, during his two terms, the president has not been a unifier of the nation, but has polarized society:
"Therefore, we must ask ourselves what Radev's real goals are in doing this now and precisely on May 9, and also in the context of the fact that the current government is difficult to assemble and with different political entities".
GERB insists that the president's proposal be rejected by parliament as quickly as possible, Denitsa Sacheva pointed out and added:
"If it is submitted on Monday, we will insist that it be considered in committees on Tuesday and that it enter the plenary hall for a vote on Wednesday, May 14.".
She indicated that they have prepared a draft declaration in order to There is a clear and categorically stated will of the National Assembly to confirm Bulgaria's entry into the eurozone as a priority for the country.
Sacheva rejected the claims of the leader of "Vazrazhdane" Kostadin Kostadinov that after Bulgaria enters the eurozone, the ECB will determine what to spend the money in our state budget on:
"This is an absolute lie! Neither the ECB nor the BNB - the banks - determine the budgets of the countries. The ECB will have certain functions related to the supervision of banks in Bulgaria, but it will categorically have no bearing on the state budget of Bulgaria, on what Bulgarians will spend their money on and on decisions of the National Assembly.
In connection with the nomination by GERB-SDF of the Chairman of the State Security Service Plamen Tonchev as head of the Commission on Files, Denitsa Sacheva stated that this was his wish:
"We do not have a fixation on the services. It was Mr. Tonchev's decision to apply for the position of Chairman of the Commission on Files.".
We do not have a ready person to install in the State Security Service, she emphasized.
