Political scientists Tsvetanka Andreeva and Evgeniy Dainov commented on the Nova News broadcast on the request submitted to parliament by Acting Prosecutor General Borislav Sarafov to lift the immunities of six members of parliament - Radostin Vassilev from MECH, Vesselin Veshev and Angel Georgiev from “Vazrazhdane“, Lena Borislavova from “We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria“, Gunay Daloolu from “DPS-New Beginning“ and Mario Rangelov from “Democracy, Rights and Freedoms“ - MRF. “The time has come in world politics for men who pretend to be strong. In my opinion, Sarafov pretends to be strong to show that he will be in his place as chief prosecutor. Some of these people are obviously fakes to distract attention from the basic immunities he wants“, said Dainov.
Tsvetanka Andreeva noted that the wide range that falls into this six-member list is impressive. “This satisfies the expectation in society that the Prosecutor's Office will monitor abuses of power against the political class“, she pointed out.
According to Evgeniy Dainov, this is about power games that are rooted in the backstage. “Since Sotir Tsatsarov, chief prosecutors have been political figures. They play power games, going far beyond their tasks and at the expense of their implementation, especially Sarafov“, he specified.
„In recent days, phenomena such as Dimitar Glavchev's behavior regarding the budget and the topic of Ukraine have been accumulating. These are some winds that are blowing behind the scenes and people are trying to bend and survive, in my opinion, this is Glavchev's problem. Delyan Peevski and Borislav Sarafov are trying to position themselves as players in the power arena. Boyko Borisov has very strangely become tame after wasting 45-50 days in demanding and denying that he is prime minister. I wonder if he is condescending or has decided to be constructive“, analyzed Dainov.
According to Andreeva, the leader of GERB-SDF is in a difficult situation because he is trying to build a cabinet. “And it is trying to build it with a majority that does not rest on an ideological basis. Today's scandals and diplomatic defeats would not have happened if we were in the situation of the so-called “assembly“, she said.
“GERB-SDS and “Democratic Bulgaria“ in government will work very hard to join the eurozone, in the company of parties that are eurosceptic – “BSP-United Left“ and “There is such a people“, Andreeva added.
