"Today /b.r. yesterday/, together with Ekaterina Zaharieva, I was nominated by the government as one of the two candidates for commissioner in the European Commission. Ekaterina is an extremely strong candidate with extensive political and administrative experience. I believe that the two of us will represent Bulgaria in the best way in the upcoming process".
This is what Yulian Popov wrote in his profile on the social network. He is one of the two proposals for European Commissioner that Ursula von der Leyen will have to choose from.
"Europe needs a strong and highly competent Commission, determined to deal uncompromisingly with the geopolitical challenges of the day. Hybrid propaganda that incites hatred and national division will not stop us. I believe that Europe will continue to support Ukraine, because the aggression of the Russian dictatorship is a threat to European and our national security. We have successfully fought off threats to our energy security that many expected would send us into recession and misery. We did it. Euroscepticism, the result of fear, uncertainty and external malicious incitement, has failed. It will not succeed in the future either. We must protect our secure and prosperous Europe, strengthen the competitiveness of our economy, invest more in research and innovation and defend our freedoms and our quality of life.
Yuliyan Popov thanked everyone for their support.
