If we look at the last 39 days, it is absolutely incomprehensible that one, second, third candidate has been nominated 10 times already, and there is no chance of a majority. Instead of looking at whether the Speaker of the National Assembly will be elected, they should look at what needs to happen if you want to block the election of the Prosecutor General on January 16 – until then there is a month and a week. This was stated by Kiril Petkov, co-chairman of “We continue the change”, on the air of BNT, quoted by novini.bg.
„It is called “compromise”, but compromises vary with the parties. GERB were with us and proposed that Atanas Atanasov, but Boyko Borisov be prime minister. Then they go to BSP – return the gesture of support, but absolutely cannot support any other candidate. Borisov does it well – in the last three weeks he has been playing with one, then with the other with one goal – to block the work of the parliament”, he believes.
Petkov clarified that today they are introducing a bill to change the Law on the Judiciary. “Inside, there is a reduction in the mandate of the chief prosecutor and that Sarafov should not continue to perform the position of chief prosecutor. This is a fundamental law.”
He emphasized that they do not have a ready name for a new attorney general. But they know when someone shouldn't be attorney general because of their addictions.
„We support candidates of all parties who signed our declaration of a sanitary cordon against Peevski. If the BSP make this decision, we will support them if we do not have our candidate in the runoff. And DB colleagues must make this decision today. With them it is more difficult”, he explained.
He felt embarrassed that his colleagues from the SDF were forced to vote for the BSP, because this was Borisov's only move to not have an elected chairman yesterday.
„We are not afraid of “Revival” because we know we will never rule with them. They cannot put us in a majority with them. It's not scary if we vote together for something, but we are sure that we will not manage with them. However, the risk of cementing Peevski's biggest racket in seven years after a month is huge”, warned Petkov. >
In his words, the fact that Laurer and Bozhankov do not have their political support does not mean that they do not respect their opinion. “We told them the previous Monday: “It is so important for Bulgaria to start working the National Assembly as quickly as possible, that if your two votes stop the direction in which the party believes, the party stops being behind you, but you free to make that decision of yours.”
„When there is a choice of 10 people, it is not scary. The problem is that all the institutions are taken over from behind the scenes. And because we do not have a completed “home book”, it seems that the changes in the Constitution are not working”, Kiril Petkov also said.
„If we had not put the declaration on the table 40 days ago, Peevski would not have been such an intolerable partner for all parties. He didn't withdraw the nomination for vice-president, what was successful was that we made him so invisible that he had no choice but to step down. He is more dangerous when he works in the dark and in the shadows than when the public sees him. You can't cure a problem before you realize it,”, he added.
