Let us today congratulate ourselves on the fact that the borders have opened for us. After our admission to the EU, our admission to Schengen is the most important step in European integration. If the caretaker government and the next regular government continue with the policies that we have been able to drive in the last 10 months, we will be able to move forward towards European integration. And at the moment, this is the reason why he and Mrs. Gabriel have good communication and a good dialogue. We share common values and visions for the development of Bulgaria. This was commented to bTV by the resigned Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov.
"It turned out that GERB ran away from the reforms. The story seemed like something from the movie "Daddy will buy me a bike, but another time". GERB, together with DPS, have a huge influence in the judiciary and in the various regulators, and they are clearly not ready to change the system as it is. And it is important to change, because it will change the judicial system, the way of doing business in our country. ;, he also pointed out.
"When we started this government, GERB failed to fulfill the first mandate and returned it. Then we proposed to put together a cabinet with the second mandate. It was made with the condition that it starts with this management program, that the ministers we agree on will be changed and the prime ministers will be changed, but they asked GERB to change the rules," Nikolay Denkov said.
"There were several ministers suggested by Maria Gabriel who worked so well that I had accepted them as part of us," he added.
According to his words, it seemed that Interior Minister Kalin Stoyanov was covering up connections between the Notary, "Eight Dwarfs" and the Ministry of the Interior.
"The moment this minister was replaced was the rotation," Denkov pointed out and recalled how many times he had to push the interior minister to take measures for the BFS.
The Prime Minister resigned, stated that there was absolutely no corruption in his cabinet.
Nikolai Denkov explained that many times they had organized meetings with Borisov and GERB, but Peevski appeared at them.
"If the president had not abused the official offices, there would probably not be any problems with them now,", believes the resigned prime minister.
"The hardest thing right now is for Mr. Glavchev, and we must do everything possible to help him do his job. We will ensure maximum continuity. My appeal to him is to ensure as fair an election as possible. The Home Minister and the e-Governance Minister had my trust until the local elections. We really have to decide whether we will continue on our European path of development, or those who have slowed down Bulgaria's development in recent years will return on a white horse. How this government worked will be evaluated in a few years," Denkov pointed out.
"For 12 years we had lean pizza. That is why Bulgarians continue to be the poorest in the EU. A very interesting statistic came out yesterday. It shows that from 2011 to 2020, Bulgaria advanced by 1% every year in terms of purchasing power and catching up with the average European level. In the last 3 years, it has caught up with another 11%", the prime minister explained in resignation and added that Simeon Dyankov's policy was completely wrong.
"At the moment, both the eurozone and land-based Schengen are at risk, but at this moment we are not saying ``goodbye'' to them, he also commented.
"The relationship between "We keep changing" and GERD are now in an ice age. What we managed to achieve will remain and will be useful for Bulgaria", believes the resigned Prime Minister.
