Stefan Stoyanov: I do not agree that buying and selling votes is a crime  - 1

The deputies in the parliament must realize that this is something big, elected they are from the people and must act according to the laws.

This is what the former SDS deputy in the 7th Great National Assembly and former ambassador to Greece Stefan Stoyanov said in "Denyat ON AIR".

The person with the greatest political experience is Boyko Borisov, the diplomat pointed out.

"He is capable of political combinations that could untie things in a totally unexpected direction for us. For example, the GERB party has a differentiated policy towards the people of "We continue the change"; and Democratic Bulgaria. Something can be gained from this approach," Stoyanov announced to Bulgaria ON AIR.

According to him, different combinations with less responsibility are also possible.

"For example, the absence of some of the deputies from the hall. One can always find a politically acceptable important argument, as the Euro-Atlantic orientation was before, and on the basis of it people are capable of doing anything," he believes.

Stoyanov does not agree that buying and selling votes is a crime.

"If I give BGN 20 to someone in the neighborhood to vote for me, that is a crime. However, if I give thousands or millions of certain groups of people money, foreign - state money, this is not buying and selling votes. "In the pre-election period, some money starts to be spent, and it's state money, and suddenly if it's being distributed left and right, it's not buying and selling votes," he explained.

Stoyanov also commented on the changes in the Constitution.

"All the ministers I have heard from this government talk about strategic interests. The decision of the Constitutional Court has problems", the diplomat summarized.
