“We suffered damage from the attempt to form a titular government and do a certain job. But that's how it is in politics and we have no right to be angry with anyone, including ourselves“, he said in “This Morning“ on bTV Tomislav Donchev, deputy chairman of GERB and candidate for deputy from GERB-SDF, leader of the list in the 23rd MIR Sofia and in Gabrovo.
„The last government was composed of political forces that years ago had vowed 112 times that they would not work with each other“, said Donchev.
According to him, it should be clear in the next parliament who enters in what proportion.
„The big sociological survey will be on Sunday. Depending on the support we will receive from Bulgarian citizens, it should be clear who will perform what function in parliament. Whether he will participate in some configuration as a ruler, or will he serve with dignity in opposition. Both services are very important“, said Tomislav Donchev.
“The better the opposition is and supports the ruling party, the better the governance“, he believes.
“In the future, we either have to say – or we will maintain debts and deficits until we reach 50-60% of GDP debt, which is unthinkable to me. We will end up in the same situation as some neighboring countries. Or we raise taxes, which is also unthinkable to me. Or the difficult question – which inefficient state expenditures are we limiting“, pointed out Tomislav Donchev.
According to him, for example, the costs of maintaining the state apparatus itself can be limited.
“There are many inefficient expenditures that can be reduced without affecting the quality of public services“, is the opinion of the deputy chairman of GERB.
When asked why GERB has not managed to deal with the problem of corruption, Donchev asked: “And who has managed to deal with corruption in the last 30 years?“
“Our parliamentary group would support a meaningful, collective, consensual effort in parliament, which leads to real measures to combat corruption, and not as an instrument for political repression, which is what the fight against corruption very often turns into“, said Donchev.
According to him, one of the first tasks of the new parliament is to elect a new Supreme Judicial Council and to select adequate professionals with trust.
“The big problem facing the judicial system is the eroding trust in it, which is a systemic problem and a problem of statehood“, said Tomislav Donchev.
He called on people to vote with their hearts and minds on Sunday.
