If we want to have a parliament and a serious government, there can be no permissiveness and whoever wants to behave and say whatever he wants.
In what did the deputies swear that "in all their actions they will be guided by the interests of the people". And then they showed that everyone is guided by their own and party interests.
This is how Georgi Pirinski, chairman of the 2005 National Assembly commented on the first day of the 51st National Assembly – 2009, before the BNR.
"The first hours are not encouraging. What should the National Assembly protect - that it complies with the constitutional norm, that Bosnia and Herzegovina is a republic with a parliamentary government and the National Assembly should provide the government that the citizens need. In the speeches of the leaders of the political parties in the National Assembly, the willingness to seek not only support for one's own position, but that territory of conversation and a helping hand, which would enable a positive result to be formed from the beginning of the parliament, should have sounded. commented Pirinski in "Something more".
And added:
"The election of the President of the National Assembly must be the election of a deputy who is capable of organizing and leading the work of the Parliament, so that the processes in the National Assembly, and optionally a new government and the launch of a new legislative program, can run the smoothest. The President of the National Assembly has a special and ungrateful position – to be balanced, neutral."
According to Georgi Pirinski, there are 2 reasons why Peevski behaves in this way and is fixed on Rumen Radev.
"The first is so that we do not concentrate on the violations surrounding him and his representatives in the elections. And the second, he has chosen as an opponent a person with the highest rating – the president. And Peevski wants to position himself as a fighting figure against the most authoritative person. A month ago, he sent invitations to Radev to get down in the mud and fight, which means that for him politics is staying in the mud", the former chairman of the National Assembly believes.
As an example of forming a coalition government, he pointed to the late chairman of the EPP, Wilfried Martens.
"He had vast experience in forming coalition cabinets in Belgium between many different parties. And about his approach, he says that when he sits down for a conversation, the first thing is to put himself in his position, the opponent's, what is mandatory for him, what he cannot deviate from and where the opponent would be ready to take a step", Pirinski said. .
And he admitted that he does not see such qualities in Borisov:
"Because the statement "we have won the elections, we are the biggest parliamentary force and others must support us". This is anything but "we have stated our position", as they see it. Also this request, "if we don't make a coalition with our mandate, it is impossible with another one", why, the Constitution provides for 3 options."
Pirinski is adamant that the language is a reflection of this crisis development of parliamentarism. And the problem is that the parties ceased to maintain a living relationship with the voters and closed themselves in their party circles.
"And 2/3 of the citizens stopped going to vote. Do we realize it? It is not a question of citizens getting angry and destroying, but of seeing how the parties themselves try to expand their support, beyond their narrow cores," he commented.
