The BSP is in power to change Bulgaria by participating in the government, not by observing events. This position was expressed to Nova TV by the leader of the socialists, Atanas Zafirov.
From the very beginning, it was clear that this government was a minority government, he pointed out. BSP-United Left is the party in demand, the BSP leader said.
Zafirov also commented on the case surrounding the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), pointing out that it does not have an unambiguous position in society. According to him, the ACC could be closed if a way is found to prevent the loss of money under the PVU. The important thing is that there are no duplicate functions, according to the Deputy Prime Minister.
I am optimistic about the future of the left, continued Atanas Zafirov. The Bulgarian Socialist Party is preparing for the presidential elections, and Iliyana Yotova is one of the possible names, and the ambition of the reds is to win the elections, it became clear from his comment.
For him, the opposition is becoming increasingly inadequate. His comment is due to the requested resignation of Natalia Kiselova as Speaker of the 51st National Assembly.
Atanas Zafirov is optimistic that the cabinet will serve a full term. The leftists are not worried about the opposition's autumn vote, but they criticize that plenary time is being wasted this way. According to him, the opposition cannot show a real alternative to the government.
