We are consistent, we were behind Vanya Grigorova in the local vote as well. But why are the other left parties not with us? We both want to protect ordinary working people, we are fighters. Workers' compensation and rights are causes we both support. The battle against monopolies and normal household life too. In the next National Assembly, we will have a strong parliamentary group of people with biographies, causes and opinions of their own. This was stated by the chairman of "Stand up. BG" Maya Manolova on the air of "Offensive with Ljubo Ognyanov".
According to her, a review should be made of the "outrages and thefts of the "assembly". "Fighting for power, positions and money, they forgot about the people. The left did not stop the "assembly", and the right immediately jumped into the lap of Borisov and Peevski", she believes.
In her words, the formation "Solidary Bulgaria" will not reunite with anyone who was part of the "assemblage". "We, unlike the PP-DB, did not betray the protesters in 2020, taking part in power. Their party cashed in on its dissatisfaction with Borissov, but then entered into a coalition with him. Grigorova and I have a huge amount of work to do, many battles to fight. We are forming a very strong team, trade unionists, experts, civil activists, people with a cause," revealed Manolova.
She also revealed some of the formation's priorities. "The situation for households is difficult. We need to pass laws for the people, totally ignored by the parties in the National Assembly, as well as introduce a cap on food surcharges. The prices of household bills must be affordable, a ceiling must also be placed on bank fees, and collection companies must be regulated," she commented.
Manolova called "parody" the battle of former non-coalition partners. "They are ready to embrace each other again, and there are also new candidates to enter the "assembly". We are not aiming for positions, we will seek support for the bills that benefit the people", she is categorical.
