In the studio of “Wake up” on NOVA, Natalia Kiselova from “BSP - United Left” commented on the current political processes in the country and the conditions for the left to participate in a future government.
Regarding the disputes over office 222A, used by Delyan Peevski, Kiselova was categorical that this was not her decision. She explained that the distribution was the result of an agreement between the three groups that changed the Constitution two years ago - GERB-SDF, PP-DB and the then MRF.
“They have determined that Delyan Peevski will be in this office. Each group has spaces on the second floor according to the number of MPs”, explained Kiselova. She recalled that her parliamentary group had vacated the cabinet when the “ninth parliamentary group” entered.
Kiselova outlined two categorical conditions for supporting a government: Boyko Borisov not to be Prime Minister and “DPS-New Beginning” not to be part of the coalition.
She specified that it was not a matter of “assembly”, but of “joint governance” between GERB-SDF, “There is such a people” and “BSP - United Left” in order to stop the political crisis. Kiselova noted that on different legislative topics there was support from different groups - sometimes from “New Beginning”, other times from PP-DB or “Vazrazhdane”. She said she was shocked by the “hypocrisy” that has been developing in politics in recent weeks.
On the topic of the caretaker prime minister, Kiselova said that the list of possible candidates is a mistake that limits the president. According to her, the governor and deputy governors of the BNB should not be present on it at all. She recalled that Andrey Gyurov is suing the Court of Justice of the European Union, which is an additional complication.
Regarding the rumors about Rumen Radev's party project, Kiselova commented that based on his statements, the president is currently holding his post and sees no indications that he will enter the political arena.
Kiselova drew attention to the lack of objectivity in condemning the aggression in parliament. “Aggression, both verbal and physical, is absolutely unacceptable. We are not objective when we divide the people's representatives into good and bad ones”, she stated.
At the end of the conversation, Natalia Kiselova emphasized that there is always a price to pay for freedom of speech. She gave a personal example of supporting independent journalism: “I have a subscription to two electronic sites - paid, and to three newspapers in paper form. The freer the media are, the more legal the state will be”.
