The election of Andrey Gyurov is a chance, especially for the country, because an option was avoided in which the caretaker prime minister would be Peevski's man. We remember the vote buying and the annulment of the elections by the Constitutional Court, when Glavchev was caretaker prime minister. This was said in the show "Panorama" on BNT by the co-chairman of "Yes, Bulgaria" and MP from "We continue the change-Democratic Bulgaria" Ivaylo Mirchev, quoted by novini.bg.
Gyurov is a proven person, this is a chance for Bulgaria, he said.
This government will not be a function of us as a political force. During the consultations, we expressed the same priorities as President Iliana Yotova - that a very strong interior minister should be elected, who has the strength to deal with vote buying, who has the strength to deal with the criminal model of Borisov and Peevski. All directors of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications should be replaced, the Secretary General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs should be replaced, the regional governors should be replaced. The first thing the Minister of Justice should do is work towards replacing the Prosecutor General, who has installed himself in the post, Mirchev pointed out.
In response to a question about possible cooperation between "Continuing Change-Democratic Bulgaria" with Rumen Radev's formation after the elections, he pointed out: "We have always stood in one place – Schengen, the eurozone, a strong Europe, a strong Bulgaria. We will continue to do so now. I am not convinced that Radev is looking in this direction. I do not think that China and Russia can be examples for Bulgaria. Good examples are in Europe and we should look in this direction".
The co-chairman of "Yes, Bulgaria" also commented on the "Petrohan" case.
This tragedy was used in a very cynical, disgusting way, with political attacks. Instead of revealing all the circumstances, something different was done. Since we have no concerns, we demanded from the very beginning that all the circumstances surrounding the case be revealed. In the GERB-SDF Special Services Committee, they sabotaged our request, noted Ivaylo Mirchev.
Let the SANS say whether they have collaborators among the people from the hut. There was a signal in the GDBOP as early as 2022, the Ministry of Interior conducted tactical exercises with these people, they knew what it was about. SANS came to the National Assembly and when asked whether there was a development by this group, they said that they could not answer in an open session. We closed the session, the head of SANS went to talk to a GERB MP, returned and said that he would not tell us anything. Whatever was happening there was under the protection of SANS and the Ministry of Interior, emphasized Mirchev.
