A well-known young socialist from Nova Zagora announced in an angry open letter to the members of the BSP that he is leaving the National Council of the party .
“I refuse to be part of the decisions made by this leadership, which betrayed the socialists and the thousands of Bulgarian citizens who wanted change. The temporary Atanas Zafirov, Borislav Gutsanov and Christian Vigenin excluded Kornelia Ninova not because they wanted to, but because they were ordered to do so – they sold themselves to Kiril Dobrev against empty promises of posts in a future assembly with Boyko Borisov”, said Vasil Stoyanov, member of the BSP National Council, former municipal councilor from Nova Zagora.
“They are bringing back old faces such as Sergey Stanishev and Kiril Dobrev, who will be the warm relationship with Borisov. The National Assembly of the BSP can now be called the National Assembly of Kiril Dobrev.“, Vasil Stoyanov also stated.
Here is the full text of Vasil Stoyanov's letter to the socialists:
An open letter to all socialists
I am resigning and leaving the National Council of the BSP.
The National Assembly of the BSP can now be called the National Assembly of Kiril Dobrev.
I refuse to be part of the decisions made by the so-called interim management. These people have no right to make any decisions because the party members have zero confidence in them.
Vigenin, Gutsanov and Zafirov a.k.a VGZ betrayed the Bulgarian socialists and not only. They betrayed all Bulgarian citizens who believed that the BSP could be the bearer of change.
But let's not be fooled that VGZ excluded Cornelia Ninova because they want it that way. They did it because they were told to. They sold themselves to Kiril Dobrev against some empty promises to enter a future assembly.
It is no coincidence that Borisov announced the BSP as an acceptable partner, and only a few days after the exclusion of Ninova.
People who until that day carried Ninova's bag, begged and begged for photos to give them ratings and together with her raised their hands for all decisions - now they jump against her and accuse her of ruining the party.
Perhaps we should look at the results of the districts where Gutsanov and Zafirov were leaders. There you will see some of the weakest results for the BSP in the entire country. One of the last regions where Atanas Zafirov was a leader is Sliven. I am from this area and I can tell you firsthand that here in Nasco nobody wanted him ..
They were scared by Cornelia and excluded her so that she could not participate in the direct election and now they will have to fight for the 4 percent.
Old faces Stanishev and Kiril Dobrev are returning as list leaders. They will be the warm link for a coalition with Borisov.
I refuse to be part of this betrayal of the socialists and not only.
