Radostin Vasilev: DB and BSP are to blame for not electing a chairman today  - 1
Today there is no elected Speaker of the Parliament because of "Democratic Bulgaria" and BSP, this was stated by Radostin Vassilev from "MECH" on the sidelines of the parliament, shortly after the deputies closed the session and for the fourth time in a row failed to elect a chairman of the 51st National Assembly, despite several re-votes and a run-off, dariknews.bg reported.

"And when we are invited by "Continuing the Change" in coalition with "Democratic Bulgaria" at meetings and at the same time in the hall, this coalition cannot regulate its votes - some vote "against" without argument. As well as when BSP New Beginning, sorry BSP are clearly dependent on Peevski, it is completely impossible for us to have a chairman without the approval of the mafia. The "SWORD" plan continues to act - all against Borisov and Peevski, only that today "Democratic Bulgaria" showed up and at the last moment voted against Silvi Kirilov. Dependence in "Democratic Bulgaria" from GERB has been clear for a long time, and in the BSP, the dependence on Peevski has been obvious since the removal of Kornelia Ninova", Vassilev said.

According to him, on Friday we are going to a new meeting of the National Assembly "with the hope that ITN will talk with "Democratic Bulgaria". and BSP and they should support Silvi Kirilov".

According to him, there is a split in PP-DB. "This is a political entity that will disintegrate at the next election. That's for sure. The two wings did not talk to each other even now at the Chairman's Council, added the leader of MECH.

In the morning, before the votes for the chairman in the hall, the PP-DB announced to the media that from “We continue the Change” will support Silvi Kirilov to head the 51st National Assembly, but their coalition partners from "Democratic Bulgaria" will vote with “abstained“.

"We don't have a history of great trust with ITN, but they signed the declaration and PP's support for Silvi Kirilov will be until we are sure that he supports removing Peevski's and Borisov's clubs. This will be our decision - to support it this time and in no way will we prevent this parliament from finally functioning", Kiril Petkov pointed out.

"On Monday, we appealed to all political forces to withdraw their candidates and unite around electing the oldest as Speaker of the Parliament. The mandates are precisely not to look for conspiracy theories about alternative majorities, but only to unblock the work of the National Assembly and start the merry-go-round. For DB, entering the majority with "Vazrazhdane" is a valuable problem, an obstacle, that's why we from "Democratic Bulgaria" we will vote "abstain", Nadezhda Yordanova indicated for her part.
