I have not accepted to become a candidate for acting prime minister, Andrey Gyurov said.
"As deputy governor of the BNB and head of the "Issuance" I am directly involved in the strategic task of joining Bulgaria to the Eurozone. Moreover, at the moment both the Law on the BNB and the rules of the European Central Bank do not allow the reconciliation of professional and political positions", he added to Nova TV.
Gyurov stressed that the Central Bank is an independent institution and as its representative he firmly believes that it is not a good idea for it to get involved in the political process, and for the names of its leaders to be involved in political discussions.
"The details of the conversation between me and the president are not public and I have not commented on them. The only position I can share at the moment is that I have not given my consent for an acting prime minister," the deputy governor of the BNB also said.
