Rumen Radev is infinitely responsible, he left the Presidency because he had nowhere else to go. Nobody provided an alternative. I am at his disposal and I am ready to help him with whatever I can. This was said in the studio of "Offensive with Lyubo Ognyanov" by the former acting Minister of Regional Development and Public Works Ivan Shishkov.
According to him, working with Rumen Radev has revealed several of his qualities. Among them are the ability to read, analyze and solve problems. "An example was the commissioning of the interconnector, otherwise we would have been left without gas. I was impressed with how he handled this, and we had only two months of work behind us. I am impressed by the strong organization that the president created and by trusting those he appointed at a critical moment - for the state and for himself. Radev monitored the process, but did not pressure anyone - he did not create tension", he mentioned.
In his words, the backstage was illuminated during the official cabinets in which he participated. "They hindered the economic development of Bulgaria. All the time, we illuminated the shadows and understood what had not been done and needed to be done. "Botas" and the interconnector have something in common - in order to be independent of Russian gas, we had to secure the corridors from the south. When the corridors change, the infrastructure also changes. After we illuminated the shadows, however, someone turned off the light again - the cabinets in the next 2 years. The judicial system will say who is part of the backstage. We illuminated a problem, not individuals. Ministers are being appointed who do not understand the specific matter and hide behind the fact that they are politicians. First, however, they must be experts", commented Shishkov.
He called for a total state reform and specified that anyone who wants change in the state is welcome to talk to the current president. "The PP turned off the spotlight when they should have made a change and highlighted the problems. The question is who wants to change this Bulgaria and how," Shishkov believes. He denied that there had been any talks with him about a service minister and said that he would not say "yes" to anyone who agreed to be prime minister.
