The political elite in recent years has been dealing with rhetoric rather than real politics. In order to have a government, there must be a majority in parliament. It is formed on the basis of a coalition agreement. If you want to form the government, you need a majority. If you want a government, you don't run from cabinet to cabinet and don't explain who sat on whose lap. This is what the former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Labor and Social Policy Ivaylo Kalfin said in the show "Face to Face". on BTV.
At some point this vicious cycle has to end. Whether there will be other players doesn't matter. The moment when the politicians sit down at the table and say that this is how the people arranged them and they must understand each other. This will happen at some point, maybe even with the third mandate, he is convinced.
„The re-election of Ursula von der Leyen is good for Europe because there was no other plan. Nationalist and Eurosceptic sentiments are on the rise. It's not about liking, it's about the alternative. If she was not elected, a period of serious turbulence followed. It was an election of the pro-European elections," Kalfin explained.
„The right of veto is very strong and therefore you cannot use it all the time. The EU gives much more power to both weaker and stronger countries. Leaving the EU is a very serious risk. Britain has gained nothing from its exit from the EU“, the politician pointed out.
„We have been following an aggressive line since our entry into the EU. In the beginning we were active. We are now behaving as a candidate country. Politicians are stronger if they have an idea and it becomes European. Instead of proposing meaningful initiatives, we are on the defensive. Instead of saying no, we can give an idea how to make a given policy happen”, Kalfin pointed out and gave an example of the Green Deal.
