Why did GERB vote for BSP instead of DSB, given that both parties, GERB and DSB, are in the EPP?< br /> The answer: GERB didn't care about party families, they just wanted to drag out the parliament for another day. Their choice was to bet on the less likely event:
This is what the co-chairman of the PP Kiril Petkov wrote on his Facebook page on the occasion of yesterday's election of Natalia Kiselova as Speaker of the Parliament. Here are more of his words
On the one hand, they, we and the APS were making a majority, which they were afraid of, because Sarafov could be stopped after the work of the National Assembly began.
On the other hand, they bet that after Peevski's support for Kiselova, we will pull together with APS and she will not be elected.
What they didn't consider is that we play on principle. Whoever supported the cordon against Peevski gets our support. We know that Mrs. Kiselova is not related to Peevski and we are not playing for PR, but for changing Bulgaria.
So the GERB went astray and elected Kiselova, who will now rush to introduce the law that will stop the election of Sarafov.
The fact is that just yesterday she had a meeting with "Justice for Everyone".
