"I am glad that key things have happened in these 4 years that we have been in power. The economic benefits of Schengen have happened, the migrants that they were scaring us with are gone", said Kiril Petkov in the show "Face to Face" on BTV.
"For the first time, we managed to meet all the criteria for the Eurozone in January and February. The latter is based on the last 12 months of inflation. We managed to control it even though there was COVID and war. The design of the financial policy for us to be here was by Assen Vassilev and "We continue the change", he also said.
To be true Europeans, it is not enough to have only the euro, but to have a rule of law, to fight corruption, explained the co-chair of the PP.
"Today information came that the construction of the Ruse-Byala highway section will be taken over by a Taki company," Petkov also announced.
According to him, the state is currently led too much by Delyan Peevski. He explained that they will collect signatures for a vote of no confidence, in the hope that they will be supported by their colleagues.
"We do not need a government led by Peevski. As the opposition, we cannot tolerate this government, the garbage being given to Taki, the highway section being given to Taki...", said Kiril Petkov. And he added that the government is currently not dealing with any of the many pressing problems.
Do you remember the people who scared us that when we enter Schengen, it will be flooded with migrants? Well, that didn't happen. Instead, things have started to work and trucks no longer hang at the borders for three days. These same people are scaring us now with the euro. However, I expect interest rates to fall, there will be more investments, I expect after 2 years everyone to say "bravo", as happened with the French proposal for North Macedonia, he commented.
To be true Europeans, it is not enough to have euros in our wallets. It is important to have a rule of law. It is important to fight corruption. Today I received information that the notorious highway section Ruse - Byala, which is worth 3 billion leva instead of 1.5 billion leva, will most likely be won by a company associated with Taki. If this is true, this is a reason for a vote of no confidence. So we must fight all the irregularities that we see. Only in this way will we be Europeans, he commented.
As soon as Bulgaria receives a date for entering the eurozone, we from the PP will start collecting signatures to submit a vote of no confidence. The reason is that the country is led too much by Peevski. It is expensive to have such a government. But for this purpose we need to have 48 signatures, he pointed out.
The eurozone was a success and we waited for this moment. But now we are already acting. We as the opposition cannot tolerate this government because irregular things are happening. This is not normal. Our vote is a moment when we can explain to the entire society what the problems are, explained Petkov.
We do not need a government led by Peevski - not even for a day! We must give the people a clear choice, he emphasized.
He still cannot name the names they are considering for a presidential candidate. But he explained that they want to nominate a person they can be proud of as the president of Bulgaria. 5-6 names will certainly be nominated, among whom there will be debates to choose the best one.
