„The probability of the PP-DB coalition being terminated is very low. All of GERB's actions show that they do not want a regular government. We show understanding towards the DB, but we will not go to talks without a signature”.
This was stated by the former PP MP Iskren Arabadzhiev to NOVA NEWS.
„We insist that we will negotiate to form a cabinet only with parties that have signed the declaration for a sanitary cordon. We want a signature that guarantees that these priorities of the legislative program will be followed,” he added.
Arabadzhiev believes that it is an allegation that there was an order for the illegal arrest of the then opposition leader Boyko Borisov, along with Vladislav Goranov and Sevdelina Arnaudova.”Instead of questioning the head of the National Anti-Corruption Commission or the National Revenue Agency, let them question Boyko Rashkov, who was then the Minister of Internal Affairs”, said the former MP and specified that Rashkov had not been questioned so far. He stated that every time elections are on the horizon, the prosecutor's office gets involved.
Regarding the questioning of Petya Bankova, he announced that he was not worried about the testimony of the former head of the “Customs” Agency, that Asen Vassilev benefited and that the name of Lachezar Stavrev appeared in this investigation. When asked if an analogy could be drawn with his support for former Interior Ministry Secretary General Zhivko Kotsev, he said that no indictment has been filed in this case for eight months. We want to reduce political influence on the prosecutor's office, said Arabadzhiev.
He believes that if Borislav Sarafov is not elected as Prosecutor General, there is a chance to improve the situation in the judicial system and in the prosecutor's office. “I do not think that he has the moral qualities to hold the position of Prosecutor General”, said Arabadzhiev regarding Acting Prosecutor General Sarafov.
Regarding the draft budget, the economist said that the state should have a budget for 2025, but what is being proposed is scandalous. “We see inflated expenses that are covered by fictitious revenues. We also have many objections to the increase in salaries in law enforcement agencies, which are increasing by 50-70%. "The costs of personnel in the state are increasing by 35%, which with inflation at 2.5% is absurd," explained Iskren Arabadzhiev.
