Prof. Georgi Bliznashki: Rumen Radev is the main threat to democracy in Bulgaria  - 1

It is difficult to judge when to go to the elections. Protests have a very hard time overthrowing governments. Now everything has turned out a bit artificially - we enter the eurozone and the government falls. The protest did not overthrow the protest, it is a political crisis. Certain influential forces intervened through Rumen Radev. Boyko Borisov understood that the situation was changing and the cabinet resigned. This was stated by former caretaker Prime Minister Prof. Georgi Bliznashki in the program “From the Day“ on BNT.

According to him, influential people have an impact on political life in Bulgaria. Let's see what the lists will look like - they will give many answers, he urged.

Radev has authoritarian attitudes, warned Prof. Bliznashki, referring to personal impressions. "He is the main threat to democracy in Bulgaria with his desire to move towards some kind of authoritarian form of government," said the former caretaker prime minister.

He made a statement about creating a new social contract. Our society has become accustomed to democracy. People want to exercise their rights and freedoms according to the model of other European countries, he noted.

According to him, Bulgaria has its democratic traditions and it is not easy to overcome this with some falsifications of history.
