It is frivolous to maintain the old thesis that since the vote did not bring down the government, it means it was unsuccessful. When there is no rostrum, the vote is used to voice the problems. This was commented on in an interview with the Bulgarian National Radio by attorney Tatyana Doncheva, former deputy speaker of the National Assembly and leader of "Movement 21".
"Its obligatory consequence is to give publicity and order to what the opposition considers to be a shortcoming of the government. If the opposition is convincing in its arguments and they resonate with society, the vote is successful. If the opposition convinces society with a series of votes that the ruling party is unable to offer a solution to problems, it is a success. I wonder how long political journalists will call this a failure," said Doncheva.
According to her, the more pages of reasons are written, the more nonsense there is:
"And this one, the author of these 80 pages of reasons, should have someone else write them. Votes that do not have theses and consequences are worthless. To what extent the opposition has managed to compensate for the shortcoming of the composition in the plenary hall is one question. And the second is to mobilize the electorates and, above all, to achieve unity of all against the ruling party. Even for that it was worth the effort".
In the program "Something More" Doncheva warned that proposing the election of heads of SANS, DA "Intelligence" and the wiretapping service in the National Assembly is like "making a public cast for spies":
"I don't know if Delyan imagines it that way, but an election in conditions of political instability, which in our case is expressed in a fragmented parliament, will transfer the instability to the services. I am removing the risks of resistance, but even if there is none, any political change that precedes the possibility of creating a Law on the Election of Chiefs of Special Services means that any political change of the majority gives the opportunity to consider the heads of SANS and Intelligence. Before 1996, they were waiting for the president and prime minister to be from the same party, so that the heads of services could be changed.
Doncheva pointed out that the real problem of the Bulgarian special services came recently, when it turned out that more and more random people were heading them, "not representatives of one or another lobby, but more and more random people".
"Radev and Stefan Yanev appointed a village chief as the head of the National Security Agency and I told them that this hides huge risks. The one who leads the Turkish MIT will crush them just by entering the building", commented the deputy chairman of the 45th National Assembly.
And she pointed to Plamen Tonchev as an example, who left the State Security Service and went to the Commission on Files.
According to her, there is no one to train young employees of the special services, even if they are young, the right people, quality and educated. "There has been no one to train them for a long time. Who trains them - the Library Institute, Mitko Gestapo?", she said.
And she warned that the state really needs national security.
The top leaders have a personal need, we have a common one. "Let them make a program from the old employees of counter- and intelligence. "When you put a Komsomol member as foreign minister and what's the point," said Tatyana Doncheva, pointing out that Ursula von der Leyen's "muted frequencies" are another "banana peel."
And the EC President has put Bulgaria's head on the line, "she has even brought out Ukraine's biggest arms dealers."
