"Ms. Kiselova simply fulfilled her duties to comply with the rules of the National Assembly. Legality and stability cannot be the subject of bargaining. We will not allow a group of snobbish MPs, with their blatant snotty behavior, to destroy parliamentarism".
This was stated to bTV by Deputy Prime Minister and BSP Chairman Atanas Zafirov, quoted by Epicenter.
On Friday, the head of the parliament, Natalia Kiselova, de facto dissolved the MECH parliamentary group. The reason for this was the number of Vassilev's deputies - there are 9 left, and according to the rules of the National Assembly, 10 are needed for a group.
Yesterday, Zafirov spoke with Kiselova and testified to the full support of the socialists.
The first to criticize her now would have been the first to demand her resignation if she had not done so.
For more than a week and after three conversations with MECH, the rules continued to be violated. This was the only possible move by Ms. Kiselova. Tension was created by parties that have an interest in destroying trust in Bulgarian institutions, he added. And he explained that he was not bothered by the threats of a vote of no confidence in the government.
We will not allow the parliament to be held hostage by Kreslyovites with bad behavior, he was categorical.
How long do we have to wait for an MP to be sworn in? Since there is no deadline, there is no violation, Zafirov also said and explained that Bulgarian citizens do not want elections, but stability. We have been operating in fragility for a long time, and it depends on the parties whether we will break it or strengthen it. Global fragility is global - look at what is happening in the Balkans, and throughout the world, he also said. The support of the MRF - NEW BEGINNING for the government was a thesis that was imposed by the "offended urban right". Everything that is supported by the MRF-NN is bad.
By the same logic, we can ask why they do not support reasonable things, why there are other political figures at their protests. The BSP will not participate in the scenario of the collapse of statehood. These parties imagine the state as a startup and a joint-stock company, he also said, recalling that state-owned stores are an old idea of the BSP. The adoption and preparation of the budget are a credit to the efforts of the entire government. It meets the criteria for entering the eurozone, which is a strategic goal of the government, he also said.
