The fellow mayor of "Lyulin" Georgi Todorov said that he categorically did not make the recording with Nikola Barbutov. However, he does not claim that the incident on the recording is not real and did not happen.
This was stated to bTV by municipal councilor Dimitar Shalafov, who left "We continue the change" together with his colleague Dragomir Dragomirov and the mayors of "Lyulin" and "Mladost".
"Georgi Todorov confirms the things that are said in the conversation."
The voices sound like those of Barbutov and Georgi Todorov, commented Shalafov.
The municipal councilor stated that first the mayors of "Lyulin" and "Mladost" came to him first, then he contacted his colleague Dragomir Dragomirov.
"Kiril Petkov's resignation was supposed to happen on Monday. It was then that the people involved made confessions about some of the things. The deputy mayor confessed, commented Shalafov.
If we are "personnel errors" of the PP, because we made a public revelation, then the mayor of "Lyulin" is a candidate of Lena Borislavov - i.e. who should have resigned, the municipal officer asked.
According to him, Kiril Petkov rarely attended the meetings of the PP Executive Council with the cadres from Sofia and does not understand why he takes all the responsibility.
"Ivan Modev attended almost all the meetings for coordination of the work of the PP municipal councilors in Sofia."
"It turned out that the principle of zero tolerance is 5% tolerance for corruption.
