No great wealth in Bulgaria is conceived unrelated to the state. This was stated by the lawyer and entrepreneur Ivo Nedyalkov, known as the Pharaoh, to the BNR.

"Every great wealth, with rare exceptions, is through some deals, favors, transactions. Even now it continues - European funds, European subsidies, we will make virtual ports, guest houses that are for mothers-in-law... Things continue. Even the time in which we lived and the operations we performed look ridiculous against this background, as if we were in some kind of kindergarten," he commented.

The only structures that continue to work in the state are the Komsomol and State Security, emphasized Nedyalkov and explained: "When they are stuck for ministers - they are still looking for Komsomol and State Security". According to him, this is the mentality at work.

According to him, with very few exceptions, everyone who before November 10 was a factor in the state was either an object or a subject of the DS. Even those who went on foreign missions behind the Iron Curtain had cards drawn up for them and presented themselves as collaborators in some form, he gave an example. And he expressed the opinion that a large part of the nomenclature kept power within themselves, passing it on to their children.

"Unfortunately, these people who were not well-educated in leadership positions at the time, but they had qualities that the new people - their successors, who graduated in the West for hundreds of thousands of dollars in tuition, cannot step on their little finger - lack combinability, vision. We have no visionaries. We don't have people among the young who can see ahead in 10-20-50 years what will be done, how things will turn out", Ivo Nedyalkov continued his comment. According to him, people in those times had a special morality - a special sense of duty and responsibility. And nowadays, these positive qualities are very rare in young people, he believes.

"Before November 10, the sense of duty and dignity was very strongly developed. If you lost the respect of those around you, it was equivalent to civil death and you could not continue to function normally. Now, whatever happens, they don't care and continue to do the same things even more brazenly.

This nomadism among politicians is an insufficiently dignified manifestation, Nedyalkov also commented. And he expressed the opinion that it is increasingly difficult to do business not only in Bulgaria, but also on a global scale.

In the show "RadioTochka" Ivo Nedyalkov told about the past, the briefcases and the "designated millionaires".

In his words, there are things that exist in the public space and over the years grow with additional accents. That turned out to be the biggest intrigue of the transition, he noted. According to him, interest in this period continues.

"The truth is that a transition had to be made from a strictly fixed planned economy to a market economy, private property. Then the question of how to do this came to the fore", he reminded. And he continued:

"Then the state, including the party, had to look for a way to make this happen, so that if possible some control by the party remained over the processes and people who make this transition. One of these platforms on which the entire operational game developed was to allow certain executives from the sphere of business life to transact with relevant funds.

At the end of the 1980s, processes of transition to denationalization and emergence of new economic and financial entities were activated, Nedyalkov pointed out.

In his words, in Andrey Lukanov's meeting with the "new millionaires" about 150-160 people participated:

"What has grown into mythology over the years - that appointing us millionaires was an expression of us being given free access to funds to implement relevant projects. Selected people are the economic asset".

According to him, the information about Lukanov is very false. He was demonized in the transition years, he added.
