Tagarev: Radev is not an anti-system and anti-corruption player. We saw hidden dependencies after his three official cabinets  - 1

The smaller Russophile parties will disappear as independent entities after Rumen Radev appears in the elections. This was stated on bTV by former Minister of Defense Todor Tagarev regarding the president's possible new project, quoted by novini.bg.
"I expect that half of this Russophile electorate will support the president."

"He is definitely trying to position himself as an anti-system and anti-corruption player, but in reality he is not. We saw hidden dependencies after his three official cabinets."

According to Tagarev, Radev will position himself as "somewhat European", but he has proven that he is not exactly European-oriented.

And he added that Iliyana Yotova has not proven that she can become the Supreme Commander-in-Chief and President.
