Rumen Petkov: A BGN 1,000 penalty for not voting will make the bought vote meaningless  - 1

"We have an illegitimate parliament, with 35% support of all political parties, and this is embarrassing. No one asks why we have a law that obligates adult citizens to vote, which legitimizes 65% of lawbreakers. We are a country where crime is institutionalized."
Rumen Petkov, leader of ABV, which is part of the BSP, expressed this opinion to BNR – United Left.

"The solution is very simple – BGN 1,000 fine. This will make the bought vote meaningless, he thinks.
BSP – A united left will not issue ultimatums and will not give in to ultimatums, explained Petkov in the program "Before all".

In his words, if the step is not taken, garnished with relevant compromises, we will continue to get stuck in timelessness.

"The problem is that we approach arithmetically, not politically", said Rumen Petkov and added that they are flooding us with "bills and schemes in the National Assembly, with different colored seats".
"The latter wants to become the interior minister, and the former wants everyone to support him. This emits a dose of vulgarity," commented the ABV leader.

Let the winner show sense, not impudence, and start a dialogue, but not in the mall, he appealed.

"At this stage, apart from heroic tales, there is nothing", says Petkov's assessment.

He called on each party to put forward a few topics important to it and the cabinet negotiations to start from there. For the BSP - the United Left, these are "peace, ensuring energy security – construction of "Belene", guaranteed access to education and health.
"The PACE report says that our elections were professionally organized. We have to realize what kind of people work in PACE and come to evaluate our elections. If, for these few, half of the wrong sectional protocols are professionally organized elections, we should think about what kind of institutions we participate in. When we talk with such zoological enthusiasm about Euro-Atlantic values, let's see if these people are able to do the work for which they receive huge salaries", Rumen Petkov also stated.
