Ivan Shishkov: The President will decide who will be part of his team  - 1

No one has offered me a ministerial post in the official cabinet of the former regional minister arch. Ivan Shishkov, as allegations have appeared in the public space. He stated this himself on the air of "Oporni hora" on Bulgaria ON AIR.

"It was a really interesting week, because all the media linked my name to the official minister of regional development, in which I had nothing to do. I say this not by chance. In my opinion, an attempt was made to suggest to the public that this official cabinet is a joint effort, almost, between all political forces, including with the participation of President Rumen Radev, in order to make the public disgusted and not vote. In my opinion, this was completely intentional", also pointed out arch. Shishkov in front of Bulgaria ON AIR.

When asked by Ganiela Angelova whether he would join Rumen Radev's future formation, arch. Shishkov replied: "The president will say this - who, how and in what way will join... There have been no conversations with me at this stage. Everything that is commented on is used by those people who want to have a low voter turnout and manipulate the elections," he also stated.

"When the president formed the official cabinets, he formed them on a single principle - to have experts and for the ministries to be able to work, and at very different speeds from what we see. And believe me, that's how we worked. It usually happened like this, and it is logical that when a political crisis occurs, there is usually a moment in which the state has clearly not coped. And it is logical that the caretaker cabinet, in addition to having to produce fair elections, should also have to compensate for part of the delay in the development of the state," emphasized Arch. Shishkov.
