The "Progressive Bulgaria" coalition opened its election campaign in Plovdiv. The leaders of the lists of candidates for parliamentarians were also presented.
Today, each of us is fighting our own battles - for our family, for our children, for our ideas and dreams, for justice. We fight them all our lives according to our strength. We do not always succeed. But these battles give meaning to our lives. They are our human pride and dignity. But there are battles that we cannot win alone. There is no way we can succeed in the complex environment in which we find ourselves. Great talents, brilliant minds, bold entrepreneurs, free people feel that it is increasingly difficult to realize their ideas in their own country, said the leader of the coalition Rumen Radev.
In his words, the political class has managed to push Bulgarians away from the ballot box. "Over the years, the oligarchy has crushed the dreams of thousands of entrepreneurs. Cartels distort prices. People look at their electricity and water bills in amazement. Now is the time to remember who took away their right to a referendum," Radev also pointed out.
And he added: "Today, Bulgarians travel freely in Europe, young people study on the Old Continent, our companies trade duty-free with the countries of the union. These are important advantages and we must preserve them. But this cannot overshadow the general dissatisfaction, anger at the injustice and obvious impoverishment in recent months. Today, a group of comrades are starting the most important battle of our lives. The battle for Bulgaria. The goal is clear: to overthrow the oligarchy, to take back our state, to strengthen the law, democracy and civil liberties and for there to be no poor people in a European Bulgaria".
I was on the field for a long time, now I am on the stage. The difference is that now we see eye to eye. And the similarity is that we are here together for the victory, said Vladimir Nikolov.
