Veselin Stoynev's comment:
In July, PP-DB deputies asked the president why Delyan Peevski has been flaunting NSO security for more than a year.
In September, their young guards urged the leader of "DPS-New Beginning" at least once not to drive into parliament with a car through its inner courtyard, which security ritual is reserved only for the president, prime minister, and speaker of the National Assembly. This angered the lord of "New Beginning" to death, who swore to create a state with a capital "D" and appropriately acquired the highest new chieftain title - the Big D.
Civilian presidential caravan
Because no one can be higher than the newly titled new chieftain - even the president, "DPS-New Beginning" introduced a bill sequestering the cars of the National Security Service from the administration of the head of state. In response, Rumen Radev wrote a bloody letter to the head of the NSO that he would use his personal car to show solidarity with his subordinates as a true military commander. If they have to travel on high-level state protocol and organizational matters in their personal cars, he will be a jerk with his. What kind of protocol and organization is needed for an entire presidential caravan to set off to Dimitrovgrad or to some festival, celebration or paying homage to a certain fruit and vegetable (if we borrow the description of Kiselov's voyages to Boyko Borisov and Rumen Radev) is a separate issue, but every head of state wants his own entourage.
And in order to go ahead with one chest, Radev spat on the people's representatives and have them get out of the cars, maybe that way some of them will meet their voters. He could have said "the people", but anything approaching the sacred expression "for the people" is a trademark of the Big D. The president would even boldly give up his security, but his empty law on the National Security Service does not allow it. From the "New Beginning" However, they immediately freed him from these shackles by arranging a small amendment to the law, which exempts him from the oath not to be able to refuse the NSO to protect him.
Pepper instead of legislative motives
The brief motives for the generous amendment, written for a very specific person, will remain in the annals of parliamentarism with a peppery fury unprecedented for the legislative genre, so it would be unworthy not to have at least their seeds circulated:
"... Rumen Radev should stop using all the resources of the presidential institution to build his personal political project, and instead resign from office and focus on his party, together with his family and his millionaire advisors. It is unacceptable and immoral to use the administration of the presidential institution as a terrain for the realization of personal ambitions, nor is it permissible to turn the professional NSO into a personal servant of a self-forgotten egocentric."
The same, if not by the neck, then at least by the neck, Peevski also said to the media, who is below the level to sign as the sponsor of the bill, and has left this honor to his diligent and completely more capable deputies.
Radev as Lukanov, Peevski as Ivaylo
In order for the discourse of this limousine-security wrestler to get on track, it would be best for Radev not to pretend to be Lukanov, who drove his own Lada for the first free elections in 1990, because the people had despised the Mercedes and Volgas of the communists nobles and their fierce guards from the UBO, the predecessor of the NSO. And the New Beginning would best go with a cart to the people - on the left and right Bayram Bayram and Hamid Hamid are enough to be Delyan Delyan's gavazis.
Otherwise, if Radev remains on the Lada, and Peevski is heavily armored, they will swap places in a completely indecent way. Radev will become the populist who has come down to the people as a man of the people, and Peevski, like the pig farmer Ivaylo, will be the self-proclaimed king who has already acquired blue blood and is the only one left with the highest cortege armor so that he can legally shower blessings on the people.
The thousands of cars and drivers of the lesser leaders
In this greasy struggle for symbolic legitimacy of power, the fundamental question of who has the right to ride and be officially guarded remains trampled in the mud, and in essence this is a question of the common money in the treasury, which is paid for by the people. And it's a matter of millions of alts for cars, maintenance, drivers, salaries, which on top of that inflate undeserved self-confidence that you are very important, endowed with privileges.
What could be more normal than presidential officials using a limited number of cars for business trips without expensively paid and early-retiring drivers from the National Security Service? And if a deputy feels threatened like a 1990s scumbag, he should do his own security - if he has any chance of representing someone in the light, if some people in the dark are afraid of him.
The big problem, however, are the hundreds of other smaller leaders who flaunt their official cars even when they come to work - deputy ministers, heads of offices, deputies, regional governors and who else. Thank God, not everyone does it, many use personal vehicles, the metro, trolleybuses and trains. But if the calculations of the party frontman against the New Beginning, Ivaylo Mirchev, are correct, we are talking about 3,000 official cars and 1,000 drivers in parliament, ministries and other state offices and departments. Therefore, if it really wants to do something "for the people", "DPS-New Beginning" can, with a not so short bill, but with the same categorical motives, manfully scold the vehicles of self-forgetful egocentrics.
