Why this corruption scandal happened right now, maybe I will be able to answer in six months, when I see what will happen at the national level. The court has not ruled and we cannot talk about crimes yet. Every scandal in Bulgaria happens for a reason and let's wait and see - in my opinion, in six months it will be about new elections. This was stated by the municipal councilor from PP-DB Dimitar Petrov in the program "Denyat na Ziovo" on Nova News.
The scandal is not happening now by chance. The goal is to destroy the opportunities for anyone to oppose GERB and MRF at the national level. The goal is to shake up and push reasonable people away from politics. They are already very few, and voters increasingly decide to go mushrooming on election Sunday because "everyone is a scoundrel". This is how we get shameful percentages of voter turnout, and this way every bought vote has greater weight, Petrov pointed out.
"In the recording, we heard a confession based on the stories of the district mayors. In the recording, we hear that a deputy mayor of Sofia, on behalf of a third party company, said that certain percentages would be returned. If I now promise the prime minister that I will give him one hundred leva on your behalf, is that a crime? You may not know anything... I am concerned that this is a promise of a reward from a third party. It is not clear how the recording was made. The mayor of Lyulin did not know about it, and the commission contradicts itself whether she did it. In previous such recordings, one always asked who made the recording, not what was in it," the municipal councilor also said.
Kiril Petkov resigned to take political responsibility as the leader of a party. He did not cover up for anyone. Let's see what will come out of the investigation itself, added Petrov. The municipal councilor explained that Lena Borislavova's role is to coordinate policies at the national level and municipal councilors in Sofia.
Petrov announced that the possibility of "Toplofikatsiya - Sofia" being given a concession is being discussed. He added that the company has debts of 2 billion leva, and will probably seek help from the state.
