Over 300 people, representatives of 15 political forces, signed in Stara Zagora and started the formation of the so-called "wide left front". The document, called "Address to the People", was also presented at the traditional assembly of socialists of Buzludzha.
The president of Bulgaria in the period 2002-2012, Georgi Parvanov, explained that not he, but the young people and the new leadership of the BSP are the real architects of the new united left. In an interview with BNT, he expressed his willingness to help with his experience and ideas, novini.bg reports.
"It is never a bad thing to refer to, to enter and borrow the best of history. There is much to borrow, but now the times and challenges are different. Young people must find the new messages and ideas and move forward", he is convinced.
"There will be grumbling in the formation, the important thing is to have leadership in the left space", Parvanov also said.
"The ideas that Ninova launched for some kind of left unification were unacceptable - on the ideological basis of the big party. After that, he said: yes, we can unite, but you will loosen up and join us," the president pointed out and made a historical analogy with the times of "sectarianism". in BSP, then BKP.
