People's representatives from DPS (without Peevski and group) Ibrahim Zaidenov and Ahmed Vranchev supported the peaceful protest, organized by citizens from the Gotsedelchev region, against the recent changes in the Social Security Law - known as "French unemployment". What is happening in the DPS, what do the people in Gotse Delchev want... MP Ahmed Vranchev from the DPS (without Peevski) spoke to FAKTI.
- Mr. Vranchev, you and other people's representatives from the DPS (without Peevski and group) supported the peaceful protest of citizens from the Gotsedelchev region against the recent changes in the Social Security Act, better known as "French unemployment". What are the changes in the Social Security Act and how do they affect people?
- The changes are as follows: Until now, the European Regulation EC883 from 2004 in force enabled Bulgarian citizens, who in the last 18 months have had an insurance period in another country of the European Union, to receive cash compensation for unemployment in relation to the last income they received as remuneration. With the current changes in the National Legislation - more precisely in the Social Insurance Code, the right of people who have worked in another EU member state to have their unemployment compensation calculated based on their last income before the termination of their paid employment is taken away. When the newly adopted Bill is published in the State Gazette, the monetary compensation will be based on the average social security income for the last 24 months. In this way, people will be harmed.
- A month's work in France provides a job exchange for a lot of money in our country. Is it fair….
- It is fair according to the European regulation, which obliges all EU member states to observe and implement the regulation adopted by the EU in 2004, and we are a member state of the European Union.
- You are opposed by introducing a proposal between the first and second reading to preserve the current regime because...
- Because in the new way, people will receive a much smaller amount of compensation compared to their work.
- Let's focus on the internal problems in the DPS. Peevski's DPS or Dogan's DPS gaining popularity among supporters?
- There is no problem in DPS, let's be clear. There are simply 6 persons who have been asked to resign by the honorary chairman and founder of the DPS, Dr. Ahmed Dogan, who currently do not comply with this decision and the will of the structures of the DPS. There is no such definition to divide DPS into factions. DPS is one and represents hundreds of thousands of Bulgarian citizens with a single leader, Ahmed Dogan.
- Will the discord in the DPS lead to an outflow of votes? It is clear that we are going to elections...
- On the contrary, DPS will be even stronger and with greater public support.
- Who will determine the lists of candidates for MPs in the DPS?
- The DPS has always had a clear technology and criteria for nominating candidates for people's representatives. In our party, the role of collective bodies has always been of key importance.
- Who holds the seal of the party?
- That's not important. What is more important is who is in people's hearts. DPS was founded by Dr. Ahmed Dogan with causes and a philosophy that is aimed at unity, togetherness and the preservation of a complete Republic of Bulgaria, that is more important.
Dr. Ahmed Dogan is the moral stamp that fills with content all those values that have built us as a party and statesmen.
- Are two DPS brands in the elections possible, or is there no time?
- There has always been one DPS in Bulgaria and it started in 1989, headed by Dr. Ahmed Dogan. For those who are trying to create new brands on the back of the DPS, let them know that what is new in the DPS has been all these years through the continuous renewal of the party - I mean the Youth Organization of the DPS, but there is only one beginning and that is with d Dr. Ahmed Dogan.
