„ Joint management with GERB for BSP and the United Left is impossible, there is no what basis should it be. What to do with GERD in a management? BSP-United Left is a formation with a clear platform, it has no points of contact with that of GERB, if they even have a management platform. GERB's management platform is Mr. Borisov's personal mood. In this way, the state managed to get here”.
This was stated in “Face to face“ on BTV, the political scientist Valeri Zhablyanov from the "BSP-United Left" coalition.
„It is high time for Bulgarian society to stop commenting on Mr. Borisov's comments. We have been listening to Mr. Borisov for 20 years. It is high time that the public go to the polls and take his word. Mr. Borisov likes everyone, the left is not omnivorous. “BSP-United Left“ there is a different philosophy for the development of Bulgaria”, added Zablyanov.
The MIR party surprisingly announced that they are leaving the “BSP– United Left“. In a message of the party on Facebook, as part of the reasons for this, it is stated that people directly dependent on Peevski were appointed as leaders of lists. Valery Zhablyanov commented on these statements as follows:
„The argument about dependencies in Bulgarian politics is very serious, the obvious relationships are clear and I have always preferred in politics to comment on the obvious circumstances, and they are the following – Mr. Peevski, Mr. Borisov and Mr. Petkov were coalition partners and had a joint government and were responsible for running the state. Someone should blame the BSP or someone else for having contacts, that these parties hardly relied on lameness, secrecy, etc. support - it seems impossible to me“.
In his words, the left unification is not only about the BSP.
„This is the deep conviction that the consolidation of the left forces in Bulgaria is necessary, not around the BSP, but of all the left forces. Naturally, the BSP is the leading parliamentary party, but the left in Bulgaria has parties that, although with a small electoral presence, have serious personnel potential, added Zablyanov.
