Pekanov on Zarkov's election: Renewal, hope and victory over apathy!  - 1

"Congratulations and congratulations, Krum Zarkov! A worthy, intelligent and moral man with ideas, vision and enthusiasm returns to active politics in the highest position. This is good for Bulgaria. Renewal, hope and victory over apathy!"

This is what former Deputy Prime Minister for Management of European Funds Atanas Pekanov wrote on Facebook after the election of Krum Zarkov as chairman of the Bulgarian Socialist Party.

„The path will not be easy, because it will require a change of model after so many mistakes have been made. But we need sensible and erudite people in politics, as well as pro-European social democrats in Bulgaria - a country of injustice, lack of order and captured opportunities to use our potential”, adds Pekanov.

“With the professionalism and desire that I have always seen in Krum, he will work for all this. Good luck!”, concluded the former deputy prime minister.
