President Rumen Radev changed his opinion on the eurozone in a very strange way and he himself has no answer why he did this. This was stated by PP-DB MP Ivaylo Mirchev, quoted by BGNES.
We also have no answer, the only thing we know is that this is against the national interest of Bulgaria, he added.
Mirchev emphasized that Radev owes an answer to Bulgarian society "why he was against this referendum and what made him support this referendum and then all the other topics".
According to him, the decision of the Constitutional Court should not affect the convergence report. "We will wait for him to have his say. Bulgaria should enter the eurozone on January 1, 2026. and we will do everything possible to make this happen", he was categorical.
Mirchev called for accountability from all those who took part in negotiating and signing the contract with "Botaş", which was concluded by the caretaker government appointed by Radev in early January 2023 and binds Bulgaria for a 13-year period, with our country having to pay huge sums without receiving the corresponding service.
"The indications are that this is a direct agreement between Radev and Erdogan, and during the negotiations "Botaş" said that there can be no negotiations because the agreement is political at a very high level. Secondly, a solution must be sought with the Turkish side so that "Bulgargaz" can be saved and Bulgaria should not pay these billions," he insisted.
The PP-DB MP hopes that we will try to renegotiate this contract, because otherwise the total amount that we will have to pay, plus inflation, will reach 8 billion leva.
Mirchev commented on the PP-DB's critical attitude towards the election of Rosen Karadimov as head of one of the regulatory bodies - the CPC. "The criticism is within the BSP circles and that it is an extension of Peevski", he explained and added that they have given the best candidates, but others have been supported.
In this regard, he also emphasized the important role of regulators after Bulgaria's accession to the eurozone, because there are certain risks that must be minimized, especially in price regulation. "The way in which the regulators were elected means only one thing - telephone extortion. "Call and hit this or that company," Mirchev noted.
