“No matter how much they talk against us, how we were not ready for this coalition, the truth is that something good happened in Bulgaria this summer - new energy in contrast to the disintegration in Bulgarian politics. We witnessed the obscene language from the rostrum in parliament, the lack of ideas for the future of the country. Something that cannot happen in “BSP - UNITED LEFT“. I cannot imagine Eng. Petar Kanev or Yordan Petkov cutting cables and insulting. They work. They are good and responsible individuals. This is an important condition for being a good politician. Our future MPs bring a different culture, a different vision of Bulgaria and have ideas for the future of our parents and children“. This was stated in Sozopol by the Deputy Chairman of the Bulgarian Socialist Party, author of the Expert Program for Accelerated Development of Bulgaria in 100 Points and MEP - Christian Vigenin.
He arrived for the opening of the election campaign of the coalition “BSP – UNITED LEFT“ with ballot No. 28. Vigenin expressed support for the leader of the coalition for the Burgas electoral district - Eng. Petar Kanev, for the candidate from Sozopol under number 104 - Yordan Petkov, and for all candidates for MPs from the list.
“We can see how the socialists work in a municipality by the good things that have been happening in Sozopol since Tihomir Yanakiev has been mayor. As a believer, I have always been loyal to the BSP. This means believing in the people who stand behind you. We from the BSP are moral people and this can be seen in our actions. In the parliament I will work to realize the causes that the mayor has already started in our municipality“, said the candidate with preference 104 - Yordan Petkov.
The opening of the election campaign of the “BSP – UNITED LEFT“ filled the cinema hall of the community center in Sozopol. Mayor Tihomir Yanakiev stood before his fellow citizens in support of the Burgas list and the local candidate for MP – Yordan Petkov.
“I unite around the idea that has guided me all these years. And it has kept a friend like Yordan by my side all this time. A wonderful person, and in the parliament you don't need 240 deputies, but 240 people who have a heart for others, just as they have for their family. Recently, politics has been emptied of content and instead of it there have been promises, ovations, elections after elections. Without decisions for the citizens. But, if you follow history, the participation of the BSP in power has always been with care for the people. I can recall the measures that were taken in 2008 for children and the elderly. I myself am a father of three children and it is important to me who and how will govern us. That is why I read the Accelerated Development Program carefully several times and it really does have 100 points that cover every sphere of our lives“, said Tihomir Yanakiev.
According to Vigenin, a good indicator of the effectiveness of the Program are the comments and conflicts surrounding it on the right. “There are things in it that they naturally don't like, such as the restrictions on bailiffs, mobile operators, who can now arbitrarily increase prices in contracts. They don't like that cartels and monopolies in Bulgaria will be placed under strict legal control, that we are for the abolition of the flat tax and the introduction of progressive taxation, so that there is tax justice. For all this to happen, support the people who love Bulgaria with ballot 28!“, Christian Vigenin also called and expressed hope that in the next parliament, Eng. Petar Kanev will be the speaker as a person with undisputed authority.
The leader of the Burgas list used his presence on stage to praise the valuable individuals who are running for MPs from “BSP - United Left” for the 2nd MIR.
The event was concluded by Dr. Ferferiev and G.P. Band. And the director Todor Petrov took on the role of host.
