Borisov must clearly answer whether he removes Peevski and returns to the European path, or goes with Peevski to a dictatorship.
This is what the former Prime Minister Academician Nikolay Denkov, PP-DB MP in the 50th National Assembly and elected as a People's Representative in the next parliament, member of the Executive Council of the party "Continuing the change" said before the BNR.
"Boyko Borisov is absolutely faced with the question of choosing whether to work with Delyan Peevski, and that means moving Bulgaria towards a dictatorship, as Peevski is currently trying to build, or if he has to remove Peevski from his circle, advice or whatever it gives him - and to try to return to the European development of Bulgaria. These two paths are incompatible. ... There is no way to hide from this question".
Denkov urged the leader of GERB not to try to use PP-DB as a screen for his welding with Peevski.
For the first time, we have such large-scale manipulation of election results, he pointed out and specified:
"The main beneficiary of this controlled vote is "The New Beginning" (DPS-New Beginning), apparently this is the new. We have given an ultimatum to the other parties, if they want to work with us and if they want us to talk about topics that are important for the National Assembly, they should isolate Peevski, because he is not legitimate in this parliament. ... We will only work with those parties that respond to this. ... The entire development of this parliament depends on Borisov's answer. They (GERB-SDS) are the first political force and they will determine how this National Assembly will develop. ... The responsibility for electing the Speaker of the Parliament also rests with GERB.
Nikolay Denkov emphasized that the 51st National Assembly must start working because the 2025 Budget and the laws under the Recovery Plan are waiting to be adopted.
"The process is blocked in the parliament so that BGN 10 billion can be taken from the PVU. We always rely on those 121 people who have to push the button".
In the show "12+3" Nikolay Denkov confirmed that the PP-DB will not support a government with Prime Minister Boyko Borisov because they do not trust him, and continues to insist on a candidacy that is equidistant from everyone:
"Borisov burned the bridges of trust in himself, to the extent that there were any at all. Now we insist on a Prime Minister who is equidistant or equidistant, whatever you want to call it, the important thing is that it should be a Prime Minister in whom there is confidence, which will lead to a political majority in Parliament, ie. 121 people to vote who are willing to take political responsibility for standing behind him and if he makes mistakesthey will take political responsibility for it. We cannot take political responsibility for Borisov, that is clear. ... We have tested whether there are people who have such a profile and whether they would be willing to engage in such a conversation, because it depends on what kind of political support there is. The answer is that there definitely are such people. We are open to such people being proposed by GERB as well. We are ready to hear proposals from other parties, because if the support is wider, it is better.
He emphasized that there are three people with whom the PP-DB spoke, who did not say "no" and who are ready to enter into a conversation about the so-called equidistant premier.
With "Revival" government, there is nothing we can do, Denkov confirmed again and explained that "their priorities are contradictory to those of PP-DB":
"We are for the European development of Bulgaria, building institutions that follow the example of democratic European institutions, while "Revival" they are looking for some form of dictatorship, I would say".
According to Denkov, the PP-DB coalition is stable:
"What stabilizes the coalition is that we have very clear common goals on which we have no disagreement - democratic principles, fairness, a functioning justice system, education, income, etc. these are basic things that normal European countries work on. We have no difference about where we want to go. If we have a difference, and that is quite normal, it is how to get there. These are quite normal discussions that we have, we are a coalition of three very different parties, they have different histories and different leaders. But I have no doubt that we are like-minded in what we want to achieve.
