The government is absolutely paralyzed in relation to the judiciary, and it itself is also paralyzed by the inability of the majority to do the necessary things. This was commented on "The Day Begins with Georgi Lyubenov" on BNT by the former legal secretary of the president and Minister of Justice Krum Zarkov.
"The vote of no confidence is aimed at what the proponents call a conquered state and it is normal for Boyko Borisov to underestimate it. This is the Achilles heel of this government. The issue of judicial reform is the only one that can unite the irreconcilable oppositions - the president, the Euro-Atlantics and the nationalists".
The vote will not be successful in essence and will not bring down the government, but if it permanently imposes the theme of the rule of law, it will undermine unity over time, Zarkov believes. According to him, there is no dictatorship in Bulgaria yet, but it seems that we are ruled by an oligarchy.
"We see a government that is weak and it is this weakness that gives it stability, because it does not threaten any of those who are actually in power. On the other hand, we see a majority that only calls itself a minority, because it is obviously ashamed to name its true configuration".
It is clear that between Borisov and Peevski there is complete synchrony, which is the basis of this government, he also said.
"The other participants - the small partners - BSP and ITN, accept their leadership and do not dispute it. Including the Prime Minister, he accepts to be completely erased in relation to these two figures".
The entire judicial system is delegitimized - you cannot keep someone in prison to collect evidence, Krum Zarkov commented on the arrest and measure of Varna Mayor Blagomir Kotsev.
"There are clear conditions under which this most severe measure - detention in custody - is applied. The court's lengthy rulings do not convince of this, which in turn feeds the anger of those who see the whole thing as a political process. Whoever the person is - if he is guilty, gather evidence and then put him in prison".
We live in a situation in which those who are supposed to enforce justice do not show an elementary degree of legal awareness, he believes.
When asked if it was possible for him to become a BSP presidential candidate, Zarkov replied that no one had spoken to him and stated that he was much more concerned about the party itself. According to him, it "seems to be in a helpless situation" and is afraid of elections, which makes it "a silent letter in the government".
"The BSP needs this government much more than it needs the BSP".
