"Peter Petrov is the best candidate for the Speaker of the Parliament. We will not cancel our application. The most political body in the country is the National Assembly. There are politicians there. If there are people who think they are technicians, engineers or cleaners, let them say. This is extremely frivolous."
This was stated by the leader of the "Revival" party. Kostadin Kostadinov to NOVA, quoted by FOCUS, regarding the idea of a technical election of the chairman of the National Assembly.
"Peter Petrov has no support because he is a dialogic, balanced and moderate professional. There is some anti-logic in the parliament," he added.
"In a runoff, we support any candidate who is different from GERB, DPS and PP-DB. Last time, in the runoff, we voted for the representative of ITN - Silvi Kirilov. We cannot align our positions with those of other political parties, because that way we would be a coalition, not opponents," said Kostadinov.
According to him, Kiril Petkov sought the support of "Vazrazhdane" already in 2022.
"And to support him and participate in his government when ITN withdraws its support. We then refused him. They said that if we want, we can rule together," the leader of "Revival" also said. "We have received invitations from all parties for talks. This is the same as the invitation to participate in the government," Kostadinov believes.
"We have no problem accepting the support of anyone who decides to share our views. We have a formula for stable management. If they want and PP-DB can support us, they have asked for our help so many times. Bulgaria must have a strong economy, army, health care. We do not give support without principles. In Bulgarian politics, morals and principles are a weakness," he added.
"I will not call the Constitutional Court to anything, because I do not trust it. We have become convinced of its ineffectiveness - it is a political body. We are turning to him because that is the procedure," Kostadinov also said.
We will once again raise the candidacy of Petar Petrov for the chairman of the National Assembly. If his candidacy does not gather enough votes and does not go to a runoff, we will most likely support Silvi Kirilov's candidacy, said Tsveta Rangelova from "Vazrazhdane". in front of BNT.
"Faced with the prospect of going to elections with the interim government of Glavchev and Interior Minister Ilkov, of course we prefer to go to elections with interim Prime Minister Kirilov.
This cabinet should no longer be allowed to organize the elections, Tsveta Rangelova was categorical. She expressed her hope that the President of the National Assembly will be elected today, because, in her words, we are already becoming a "laughing stock".
