After the replacement of Kalin Stoyanov - will the political tension calm down and has it become clear whose proposal is Atanas Ilkov?
"It is too early to talk about whether or not there are political affiliations. Let's give it time to work and show. At the time, the interior minister was writing to PP-DB, after which it became clear that he was going in other directions. Later, an interesting synchronicity was seen between him and Peevski. It was not difficult to see even today that Peevski talked about how the president violated the Constitution, Stoyanov also said the same, and in practice I guarantee you that the president did not violate a single text of the Constitution, said the former Interior Minister Emanuil Yordanov in "The Day ON AIR".
According to him, the new interior minister will not carry out a mass purge of the type that Kalin Stoyanov did.
"Change of 18 directors of regional directorates in one year. I was a minister for a year and a half and I changed 4 regional directors - make the difference. Many people talk about the fact that the parties could do their work themselves, because the Electoral Code provides enough opportunities both through observers and through advocates, Yordanov added to Bulgaria ON AIR.
There is the problem of the bought vote for the upcoming elections
In small settlements, absolutely everything is known, the former interior minister is categorical.
"Bulgaria as a population is concentrated in a few large cities, everything else remains at such a status that it is not difficult for a person to know who is who, what he does, who are his close people. We also have records in the court, from which it can be seen who the convicted persons are for buying votes. There aren't many, but I guess they are the most prominent, and tighter control over them would help a lot. There will be small parties, maybe not just one, that will rely on vote buying. They will squander it and in practice it will not solve anything, the problem with the corporate vote will remain,", the guest pointed out.
According to him, it is better to make a decision concerning the Constitution, which will not interfere with the work of the state.
"As the new text in the Constitution is written, the president has the right to refuse to sign the decree. Some said that he almost had no right to refuse, but it would have been nice if they read the Constitution a little further down. These texts lead to many problems in their application. I was very surprised by the attitude of Kozhareva, who behaved like an angry child in front of the president," commented Yordanov.
