From this union that the colleagues are trying to make, a greater disunity will follow. As long as I am in politics, I will fight against the deep state, against theft and corruption - this is the GERB model. I can already see a retreat from this BSP line. There can be no reconciliation with theft and corruption.
This is what he said in the show "Face to Face" on BTV, the chairman of the BSP resigned, Kornelia Ninova, on the occasion of the situation in the socialist party.
In response to a question, the socialist clarified that she has not decided whether she will run for the BSP chairperson elections in October.
There is an application by Mr. Zafirov to be registered as representing the party and there is a deadline for appeal. The case is pending until the SC decides. I am the resigned chairman and yes, I have to sign the documents until the court decides on Krum Donchev's appeal, explained Kornelia Ninova.
Don't let these coup plotters take away your right to take part in the election of the chairman of the BSP, she addressed the socialists.
As for the possible handing over of the third mandate to the BSP, Ninova stated that there are no expectations and whoever the president decides to hand it over to, the mandate seems doomed.
GERB and "We continue the change - Democratic Bulgaria" are mainly to blame. GERB as the winner should form a cabinet, they did it formally so it wouldn't pass. More puzzling is the hypocrisy towards the people, their behavior is "let's pass one more election and we will get together", this is irresponsible towards the country, the BSP chairman also said in resignation.
Over the years we have tried to make left-wing unifications, we have had a format of 22 parties, we have also had three - we have not had a serious difference in the result. This union is seen as a mechanical collection of parties. This is not the meaning of left unification. This mechanical gathering of leaders cannot lead to better results, said Ninova.
In the structures, this union is not accepted unambiguously. Go and say, for example, in BSP-Pleven that they will unite with Rumen Petkov and they will leave immediately. For several years, such people worked against BSP in places, this cannot be forgotten with a declaration from the leaders, she added.
I hope that left-wing people will unite, but for a new union you need an impulse, and I don't see new ideas, I don't see new people. The desire is very good, we all want a strong left, but the way they are doing it, they will achieve nothing. Self-centeredness gets in the way – many chiefs, few Indians, the outgoing BSP chairman pointed out.
While I am in politics, I will fight against the deep state, against theft and corruption - this is the GERB model. I can already see a retreat from this BSP line. There can be no reconciliation with theft and corruption, emphasized Cornelia Ninova.
In response to a question, she clarified that she will not attend the BSP National Assembly in Buzludzha on July 27. I cannot stand there with people like Borislav Gutsanov and Atanas Zafirov, who betrayed our fight for the past 8 years, who led the same policy, and overnight turned into a completely new face, a completely new role, Ninova noted. All those who talked about my war with Radev participated in it, she added.
