It depends on who wins the leadership in the National Assembly, this will determine future negotiations. The most important thing is the budget and not to accumulate more debts. The other important laws that need to be adopted are those on the Social Security Act and for all working people. This was stated by GERB leader Boyko Borisov in the program “Face to face“ on bTV, quoted by novini.bg.
He defined the most difficult periods of the assembly and the triple coalition, in which they were, and because so many compromises were made, including for left-wing proposals. “I have always been for measures to support business. In recent months, however, there has been talk of raising taxes. When I saw that there was no way out, then I brought down the government. We take our mistakes into account. People ask me why we did it. My answer is that it was for the state. Now the party forbids me from making any more compromises. They pinned the brooch on us that there is a model, but there is none. The compromises were because we used the opened window for Schengen and the eurozone. Before that, you could only walk along the Danube and the Perlovska River,” the GERB leader pointed out.
Everyone sometimes does the right thing, sometimes they do the wrong thing. We did everything we had to do. That's why I left the coalition with relief. That's why I told Slavi and Gutsanov that such a coalition is bad for Bulgaria, Borisov explained.
When asked who was the most difficult partner, Borisov said: “It was easiest to govern with the “Patriotic Front“, they behaved like men. The constitution was made by Hristo Ivanov and Peevski, and I voted for it. The experts warned us that this was a heavy liability for GERB, and then I called Rado Cholakov and other lawyers from the parliamentary group and told them that I had made a commitment and if they didn't like it, to leave parliament“, he explained.
Being prime minister and being a leader are very different. The king used to tell me: “The royal crown is heavy, but what if it's not there“. Zhelyazkov did brilliantly in the prime minister's post. He is extremely smart. If I were prime minister, I would also sign for the Peace Board. We talked to the US secretaries of state every month. They came to me. We supported our man Niki Mladenov, who was appointed by the US. President Trump talked about peace. The war in Ukraine is monstrous, a war between Israel and Lebanon, a closed Strait of Hormuz. What normal politician would say - I like this, I consider myself one?, said Boyko Borisov.
The Bulgarian does not trust anyone. This is folk psychology, ever since Andreshko, who left the tax collector in the swamp. In a state governed by the rule of law, everyone must pay their taxes, he explained.
Even when I found out that there would be a house register, then the model was between "We continue the change-Democratic Bulgaria" (PP-DB) and Peevski. When they adopted the changes to the Constitution, they did not even invite me. Until I am convinced that this is the right thing to do, I don't need any more assemblies and coalitions. There are so many people who want to govern. Power and governance are very different terms. In Bulgaria, as soon as there is dissatisfaction, we resign and go to elections“, said the GERB leader.
Borisov recalled: “I said that I want a government by January 1st. After that, I would resign. And after Pazardzhik, I said so. There are many fathers at these protests. After the elections, we will see who they supported. Unlike all the others, who from morning to night, they can chatter about whatever they want, when Boyko Borisov wants something – it happens. PP-DB teamed up with Geshev. He brought out a cartload of compromising material, but they said that there was nothing. The judicial system is not just a prosecutor's office“.
“Today they invited us to the CEC to look at the machines, we sent a specialist. He showed them how to remove three bolts with one screwdriver and opened the machine. Why don't they want video surveillance in the warehouse with the machines? The CEC is committed to the elections and if they want them to be transparent, what prevents them from putting cameras or a sticker on the machines? I have doubts about the fairness of the elections. From what I know as of today, the machine is sealed, but it can be opened, there is no video surveillance in the warehouse. I call on the CEC to seal the machines“, Borisov said.
Whatever they have decided, they should do, but it should be more, Borisov replied on the topic of vote buying and called: “Stop everyone“.
The prices were omitted by the government. They have all the tools to fight speculation, but they don't do it, he pointed out.
„They don't see how smart Radev is - let this government be only PP-DB. Everything Rubio thanks for was done by Zapryanov. You gave him another trump card, that we with PP-DB have a caretaker government that is not doing well, that is, we have consumed it. Radev ruled for 10 years and suddenly he was not experienced. I give him credit for pushing PP-DB with this government. He slipped in so smartly between the stupid PP-DB and GERB that I can only tell him: „Bravo!“.
