Dimitar Glavchev, who was tasked with forming an official cabinet, has not called me, we do not even know him. I will not be a minister. This is what former acting Deputy Prime Minister Atanas Pekanov said in the morning block on BNT.
He learned that there is a nomination from BSP circles for an MEP, but he explained that he had a difficult relationship with Kornelia Ninova and this is unlikely to happen.
I am very sorry that the enthusiasm with which “We continue the change” started, seems to have worn off, Pekanov also said.
According to him, it would not be difficult on the important things for Bulgaria – full accession to Schengen, entry into the Eurozone, to continue working in the conditions of an office. Pekanov recalled that in 1997, the introduction of a currency board in Bulgaria took place during the office of Stefan Sofianski.
Accounting tricks, Pekanov called the battle between the Ministry of Finance and the deputies for the money from the Bulgarian Energy Holding. After the cabinet decided to withdraw BGN 1 billion from the BEH dividend for the benefit of the energy security fund, on Friday the plenary hall voted to prohibit the disposal of BGN 425 million of this money.
January 1, 2025 is not a realistic date for joining the Eurozone. I believe that the inflation criterion will not be met, it is no coincidence that Denkov said that a second report will be requested at the end of the year, Pekanov pointed out.
