The co-chairman of "We continue the Change" Kiril Petkov made an emotional post on the Facebook social network about the awards presented by the Ukrainian state. In his publication, he expressed a firm position against political favoring with honors from Ukraine.
"I will not flaunt the medal from Ukraine, because my merit is immeasurably small compared to the people who give their lives to preserve their land," Petkov said on the social network.
The former Prime Minister emphasized the tragedy of the Ukrainian people, referring to the many victims and orphaned children as a result of the military conflict. He harshly criticized political figures who are trying to extract political dividends from the humanitarian crisis.
In his publication, Petkov expressed particular indignation at the behavior of People's Representative Delyan Peevski, whom he accused of defaming the topic by urgently demonstrating the award he received on social networks.
In conclusion, the politician emphasized that his support for Ukraine is a principled position based on a value system and not on political or other interests.
