Tsoncho Ganev: Our country is a target because of the conflict in the Middle East  - 1

Andrei Gyurov lied in his words today. The only thing that is true is that the parties are preparing for elections. This was stated by the MP from "Vazrazhdane" Tsoncho Ganev in the program "Denyat ON AIR", referring to the statement of the Prime Minister after the Security Council.
Logistical support and the risk of a retaliatory strike
"What you said that Bulgaria is not threatened is the most terrible lie. The state of Iran officially warned all countries, including Bulgaria, that provide logistical support to the US and Israel that they will become the target of their attack" he commented.
Regarding the explanation that there is no immediate danger to our country, Ganev reminded of the missiles sent to Turkey.

"The missiles shot down yesterday by Turkey - the country said that they were not for their territory, their trajectory was calculated to be towards Greece. What will we do if they are not towards Greece, but towards Bulgaria?", said the guest of Bulgaria ON AIR.

Why do military planes share a runway with civilian ones?
According to Ganev, there is no panic, but real fear.

"We live here. This government, the previous one, and President Yotova are full of cynicism that they are not taking measures similar to Spain. To stop the madness of these planes being at a civilian airport. There is no other case like this," the MP from "Vazrazhdane" pointed out.
Ganev spoke about employees who work at the airport and are shocked by what is happening.

"This is not a military airport. People who work in air traffic control contacted us and said that they are worried because civilian planes are being forced to circle over Sofia, just because they are waiting for military planes to tell them when to take off at any moment, when they are ready to take off. We are a target," he also commented.

With the ongoing war and attacks, there is no way we will not have a situation in which the number of military planes does not increase, Ganev believes.
