During the autumn political season - September, there will be a vote of no confidence in the government of Rosen Zhelyazkov. Until then, we will have enough reasons - budget execution, revenues - expenses, we expect a not very positive report on the Rule of Law, the judicial reform is blocked, said the deputy from the State Duma Atanas Slavov, former Minister of Justice, in an interview with the Bulgarian National Radio.
In the program "Nedelya 150" he clearly and categorically explained why Democratic Bulgaria will not support GERB and possibly replace MRF-NN in the parliamentary majority.
"Coalitions have rules and they include an agreement on the goals and principles of this government with specific policies. When these policies are related to the redistribution of public resources to municipalities directly related to Peevski and some 7 billion leva will be given to enterprises to go to related companies and tens of millions to shops for the people, there is no way the door is open to us! It is open to Peevski, not to us", he said.
Slavov again recalled:
"We as the opposition have national priorities that we support - the eurozone, reforms in various sectors, anti-corruption and judicial legislation. But there is no way we can participate in this unclear format of the coalition, together with Peevski MRF-NN. Moreover, DPS-Dogan withdrew support from the government precisely because of DPS-NN. Our position is clear and I do not see anything categorically changed in this government."
According to him, it is now important in July, "to mobilize forces and not to hesitate about the eurozone":
"We have seen how Borisov, when it gets hot, resigns. If we fall into a severe political crisis in July, this will torpedo the eurozone. It is important for us for the eurozone to have a stable government. On July 8, the process must be accelerated so that we become members from January 1."
The former Minister of Justice is categorical that "if we hold elections every 6 months, we violate parliamentary logic":
"Let us not fall into revolutionary pathos, that in every election we discover the Promised Land. There are cycles in politics that must work in order for us to have results as a state and society."
He added that in times of crisis – the war between Israel – Iran, Ukraine – Russia and Russia's subversive activities throughout the Eastern Bloc are arguments for having a parliamentaryly elected government.
"We do not think it is the best, we are critical, but we cannot go into a regime of blocked central government through caretaker governments", warned Atanas Slavov.
He recalled that at the end of June the six-month term expires, according to the adopted Law on the Judiciary, for the temporarily acting Prosecutor General Borislav Sarafov. Thus, at the end of June the Supreme Judicial Council must choose another acting prosecutor.
"It is important how the case will be resolved – will they elect a replacement for Sarafov or will we wait for the case in the Constitutional Court?"
Next week, the BD will submit a request for a hearing in a parliamentary committee of Borislav Sarafov on the case of 8 dwarfs, Martin Bojanov-The Notary, Club SS, influence peddling in the Judiciary and other investigations, including about "Uncle Trevichko".
" There are many cases that need to be highlighted. These cases are of great public interest and the prosecutor's office should announce what it has done," said Slavov.
In "Nedelya 150" he also commented on the requested resignation of Interior Minister Daniel Mitov.
Tomorrow, "Democratic Bulgaria" gather for a discussion, together with intellectuals, sociologists, political scientists, "to outline together the profile of the democratic presidential candidate and seek broad support".
"These are preliminary elections for all like-minded people and sympathizers of the right in Bulgaria. The point is to seek trust from society, not to close ourselves off in our party cores. Tomorrow we will develop the profile of the future presidential candidate.", Slavov explained.
