We will strengthen our presence in the European Parliament. So far we have one deputy, but there will be more.
This is what the candidate for MEP from PP-DB Stefan Tafrov told NOVA NEWS.
„I did not think that I could run for two parliaments, so I chose the one in which I would be most useful, given my diplomatic career and my experience in the European Parliament,”, he said.
PP announced 14 candidacies for the Eurovote lists. Petkov: DB and I will appear together in both the national and European elections
„During the administration, we discovered that DPS and GERB are one. If you want to reach an agreement with them, you should talk to Delyan Peevski, he said. Tafrov pointed out that as long as the situation is like this, they cannot rule together. “They are one whole in the name of preserving the status quo”, added the politician. According to him, there were moments of mimicry. Tafrov stated that they have no differences in terms of foreign policy. "Rhetoric is one thing, it's another to build a Turkish Stream that serves Putin's interests," he added.
On the topic of North Macedonia, Tafrov expressed hope that when confronted with reality, the rulers will clear themselves of anti-Bulgarian messages. “If they want the RSM to have a European future, this goes through improving relations with Bulgaria,” he added. Tafrov was adamant that North Macedonia should include the Bulgarians in the Constitution.
On the topic of Xi Jinping's visit to Serbia, Tafrov said that this is how the country is moving away from the European Union. “As a member of the EP, I will help to adopt a common approach regarding China”, said the politician.
About the war in Ukraine, Tafrov expressed hope that Ukraine will be able to control the situation along the border of the Kharkiv region.
