It is time to return normalcy to the country, and the BSP will show that another Bulgaria is possible. This was said by the chairman of the BSP - Sofia, Ivan Takov, who today registered the lists of the "BSP - United Left" Coalition. on 23, 24 and 25 MIR, together with the leaders - Gabriel Valkov, Atanas Atanasov and Atanas Zafirov, as well as some of the candidates for people's representatives, for participation in the early parliamentary elections on October 27.
"In all three lists we managed to achieve a balance between youth and experience, we relied on experts and reached an understanding with the coalition partners on the distribution of seats. Thus, about 25% of the composition of the lists is for representatives of coalition partners and a civil quota, commented Ivan Takov. - The leaders of the 23rd and 24th MIR, Gabriel Valkov, who is the chairman of the Youth Union in the BSP, and Atanas Atanasov are motivated young people. We have exceptional experts in their fields such as Assoc. Nataliya Kiselova, Prof. Yanko Yanev, Boris Pankin, Prof. Ivan Tokadzhiev, Prof. Mariela Modeva, Prof. Georgi Cordov, Dr. Atanas Mangarov, Boyan Angelov. Special interest was caused by the presence of Evgeni Minchev, but let me point out that he has been helping BSP campaigns for years, especially in the "Oborishte" metropolitan area. The proposal to include him in the list came precisely from there. From the conversation I had with him, I saw tremendous motivation and acceptance of all our leftist messages. In Sofia, we are consistent in our understanding that everyone is welcome to work together if they accept our leftist policies. It was like that in the local election campaign a year ago, and it's like that now. We do not segregate people based on their religion, race or sexuality. We are open to all who are ready to work for the normalization of the state, for the return of statehood in Bulgaria. For our homeland to be a true social and democratic country, as written in the Constitution.
I. f. Chairman of the BSP Atanas Zafirov, who is a leader in the 25th MIR in Sofia, noted that the party registered full lists throughout the country. "The demands for a boycott did not come true," he said. - For the first time in many years, we had people who remained off the lists, despite their desire to join them.
Atanas Zafirov thanked the coalition partners for a job well done. "The goal we set for ourselves is high, he added. - We want to give the Bulgarian citizens a real left-wing alternative, to stop the collapse of statehood, to make way for the left to take its rightful place in Bulgarian political life. We will put an end to right-wing timelessness. In the lists we have an excellent combination of young and enthusiastic experts with experienced parliamentarians. This is a prerequisite for serious success".
Gabriel Valkov noted that the list of "BSP - United Left" in 23 MIR, which he leads, is the "youngest" of the coalition from everyone in the country. "We bet on new policies. The 23rd MIR has the most young people in Bulgaria. For us, it is a priority that they find a job, afford their own home and raise their children in Bulgaria," Gabriel Valkov was emphatic. He also indicated some of the ways to achieve these goals, which are included in the platform of the coalition - decent wages, preferences when buying a new home and financial support for the first child. Gabriel Valkov noted that this is the most effective way to combat the demographic crisis.
Highly motivated for a positive, constructive and well-intentioned campaign is also the leader of the leaves of the Coalition "BSP - United Left". at 24 MIR Atanas Atanasov. "We managed to find the right formula for unification and I am glad that we were able to bring it to a national scale, he commented. - For the first time, the left political space appears in this way in elections - united. Now one of our main goals is to motivate as many people as possible to come out and vote, as the massive apathy we have witnessed in recent years has led to a spiral of elections and instability in the country.
Atanas Atanasov noted that two Bulgarias were gathered on the territory of the 24th MIR. "This is the constituency that most clearly shows the differences in the country, he said. - Of course, we will also present to you our policies and solutions through which we will overcome them. We will show you that another Bulgaria is possible".
