„There is such a people“ has supported the request to remove Tsoncho Ganev from the post of Deputy Speaker of the Parliament after a physical clash with his colleague from the PP Yavor Bozhankov. All deputies from the parliamentary group have supported this position.
„Yes, we signed this request. Such behavior is unacceptable“, said the deputy from „There is such a people“ Pavela Mitova to NOVA NEWS.
„Parliament is becoming an arena of ego, not of reasonable debates. This is not the reflection I want for the Bulgarian people,“ she concluded.
“Every minority government is worried about votes of no confidence. But the vote should be a tool for constructive opposition,“ said Pavela Mitova. She pointed out that according to statements by opposition MPs, the current government was “harmful to the country“, but not enough concrete arguments were presented as to why.
“There is talk of failures in areas such as ecology, but the EC sanctions often stem from actions of previous governments. It is ironic to point out problems created by the previous government, in which the same political forces participated,“ added Mitova.
The MP sharply criticized “We continue the change“, recalling cases of “appointments of aunts, cousins and wives“, as well as indexation of road construction contracts by 30%. According to her, the accusations against the current government sound selective: “They believe the Anti-Corruption Fund when it comes to political opponents, but not when scandals are revealed around their deputies, such as the case of Dzhipo Dzhipov.“
Regarding allegations of millions of megawatt-hours of gas passing through the Turkish network, Mitova was categorical: “There is a contract with “Botaş“ for 13 years, for 53,200 megawatt hours per day, but Bulgaria can actually import 38,356 megawatt hours. The rest is paid for without being used“.
According to her, this is an ineffective deal, accepted by the previous administration: “We reserve less than agreed and continue to pay for the full volume“.
Mitova also commented on President Rumen Radev's initiative for a referendum on the introduction of the euro: “I have doubts that this is a political move to consolidate the Eurosceptic space. If he had been consistent in his position over the years, I would have taken it more seriously.“
“We would have supported holding a referendum as a form of direct democracy, but we would have campaigned for the adoption of the euro,“ she added.
