Kostadin Kostadinov on Iliana Yotova's veto: This is a blow to statehood  - 1

First, let's not call Iliana Yotova president, because she proved that she is a secretary to former President Radev. This was stated by the leader of “Vazrazhdane” Kostadin Kostadinov in the National Assembly regarding the president's veto on the changes to the Electoral Code, a reporter for Novini.bg reported.

What is happening right now is a blow to statehood, a treason, after former President Radev declared his categorical support for the massive falsification in Turkey, now his secretary Yotova allows herself to continue this treason, vetoing a bill that is being passed with overwhelming approval among Bulgarian citizens who were fed up, people who cannot find Bulgaria on the map, have voluntarily severed their ties with it, do not know Bulgarian, cannot read in Bulgarian, cannot write in Bulgarian, do not have an address in Bulgaria, to determine my fate and that of my children. Precisely for this reason, what Ms. Yotova committed is grave national treason and treason – the same thing her boss did – Rumen Radev, he believes.

Currently, Ms. Yotova has failed her first and only serious test of whether she can actually be a head of state or not. Yotova is definitely not a head of state, I feel ashamed that we have such a person at the head of the state, because she could show courage – something that is rarely found in Bulgarian politics, and sometimes Bulgarian women have shown that they are much more men than the so-called men in politics, but she has failed completely, Kostadinov announced.

Regarding the election of Andrey Gyurov as acting prime minister, the leader of “Vazrazhdane” said “She didn't really have much of a choice. This was actually Radev's choice. The former president has obviously prepared his political career very well, because from the very beginning he flirted with two political organizations – flirted with APS, to which he gave a mandate to govern, and PP-DB. Therefore, it was logical to give the government to their representative, the only one from the so-called house book who is not part of the Peevski and Borisov cohort, he also stated.
