My assessment of Kalin Stoyanov is under all criticism. My fear is that the elections will not be fair, just as they were not last time. This was told to journalists by the co-chairman of “We Continue the Change” Kiril Petkov.
He confirmed that there was indeed an initiative to remove Raya Nazaryan from the post of Speaker of the National Assembly and that there were discussions on the topic in the coalition "Continuing Change - Democratic Bulgaria":
“After very long discussions from our point of view, we decided that the only real and long-term way to fight the “Peevski” model, the behind-the-scenes model, is with the trust of Bulgarian citizens. All other technical options, any other procedural options are not sustainable over time. The idea of us from the PP-DB is to conduct a serious and positive campaign, to return to our voters and ask for their trust. Our long-term struggle is to change the behind-the-scenes model. Let there be justice. Let there be no dependencies. This will only happen with the trust of Bulgarian citizens, with as many votes as possible that say: yes, we want the same thing. The only way for Bulgaria to "escape" from the "Peevski" model and the backstage model is when politicians and citizens work hand in hand. We are only representatives of our voters and as such we must use their power to change Bulgaria," he added.
“We are focusing on the next campaign together with our voters to show that Bulgaria can be different: it can have free people and justice - this is our task”, Petkov commented.
