Delyan Peevski with criticism of President Rumen Radev. He sent his position to the media, quoted by Nova TV.
„Today, in his despair and helplessness, Rumen Radev revealed his true face. A self-absorbed ruler who desperately defends his trusted circle of oligarchs and above all himself. After eight years of usurping disproportionate power by trampling on the Constitution, two terms in which all heads of departments were under his control, three years of single-handed rule through his puppet governments, he today once again claimed all power for himself and the country , in the service of him and his trusted circle”, writes Peevski.
„Good morning, Radnevo… Radev's self-forgetfulness pushed him to blatant interference not just in the political system, but in gross and brutal interference in the electoral process. Once, subordinating the CEC and today - trying to suppress all parties participating in the elections. Europe sees this, have no doubt. And there is no argument by which Europe and our Euro-Atlantic partners can be convinced that this is for the good of democracy. Because Europe does not allow self-forgotten figures to ride the institutions and parties and brandish threats and coercion, ensuring for themselves and his close oligarchic circle umbrella and protection. Radev's game is clear - he defends himself and is ready to hand over the state to Moscow, in the name of his own approval and that of his close circle of oligarchs. Radev cannot accept the rules of democracy, because he himself is inherently incompatible with them,”, Peevski also wrote in his position. And he asked “why all politicians are silent when they see what he is doing to the state”.
„Why is he allowed to acquire parties, factions or individual leaders ready to do anything to save his skin. Why does everyone seem to be kneeling before Radev!? Bulgaria's place is not to be a Russian republic! And if we do not oppose this today, the entire political class will pay the price, but especially the people of Bulgaria. Because of this, we will not allow Radev to stop the new beginning and he will not obey us. Neither threaten nor humiliate. I am the only opponent of his advance as a conduit of Russia and Moscow, and I will not give up. Because the people must know the truth - all services, through the heads appointed by him, are subordinate to Radev. Eight years now. And he is responsible for all the unsolved corruption scandals for which reports and evidence were submitted. Why is the “robbery of the century” not revealed? - the bankruptcy of KTB? Why hasn't Tsvetan Vassilev, who embezzled 5 billion from Bulgarian taxpayers, been convicted?! Why has Radev been silent all these years?! And today he comes out with frivolous words to call whom!? And for what!? To fight the status quo!? The status quo is him - Mr. Cash-Radev. The man who subjugated and humiliated in the most brutal way the security services, the governments of Bulgaria, the chief prosecutor, the head of KONPI, and today in an attempt to subjugate all political leaders, treating them humiliatingly, ignoring even the elementary rule of democracy - yes are selected and broadcast by their members and supporters. The man who once again trampled on the Constitution in order to provide himself with an interior minister convenient for him and his oligarchs, ignored the decree on the appointment of a caretaker prime minister, brazenly postponed the date of the elections and is now pressuring the CEC and wants to intervene directly in the electoral process. But, I have a special message for him - there is no point in his relatives looking for me, nor in trying to provide him with an emergency exit from the situation, because one thing must be clear - nothing will stop me from removing his mask as well, so , as I have promised that I will deal with anyone who goes against the national interest of our country. Don't waste your time. I will be with the people, I will work with the people, I will be with the people," he also stated.
