Atanas Atanasov is a partner of “We continue the change”, it will be strange if they do not support him for the Speaker of the National Assembly. But my personal opinion is that they should rather not do that because he is the leader of one of the formations. I think a lawyer should be suggested.
This is what the former deputy chairman of the PP-DB group Nastimir Ananiev told NOVA NEWS.
„Andrei Tsekov was a good candidate, I don't know why he was withdrawn. Rather, it seems like responsible behavior when you have to make concessions. I also expected GERB-SDS to make a compromise. What is the problem with Borisov saying that he will not be prime minister and proposing Rosen Zhelyazkov. In my opinion, a compromise is for either Tsekov or Atanasov to be the chairman of the National Assembly, and Zhelyazkov to be the prime minister,”, Ananiev also said.
On the occasion of the expulsion of Daniel Laurer from the PP and the appeal for Yavor Bozhankov to leave the future parliamentary group, he stated: “I support the opinion of Nikola Minchev, who said that he sees a double standard. When Boyko Rashkov voted against the decisions of the coalition and spoke sharply in this direction, no action was taken.” According to him, the public tension shows that there are many internal processes. “There is a problem and it is visible,”, Ananiev also said. And he added that in order for coalition sympathizers to vote, there must be an honest conversation with them, in which mistakes should also be pointed out.
