If we have to be honest, the feeling in the hall of the swearing-in of the new government was not pleasant, because I do not believe that it is good for Bulgaria - the new triple coalition. This was written late last night on Facebook by the co-chairman of “We continue the change“ Kiril Petkov.
In his words, even at this moment, things can be seen that have changed, and these battles have had a meaning. “Rosen Zhelyazkov, not Borisov as prime minister, may be the first step in the long-term change in GERB, which became possible due to the changed political environment“, he commented.
“Peevski, who thought today that it was a big deal, that he would both direct the new government and act as an opposition, is also experiencing the change without realizing it. He lost not one, but two Prosecutor Generals in 2 years. As well as a Minister of the Interior. Other hidden pawns were also exposed“, Petkov added.
“It became clear that for Slavi “the “resource posts” have always been the leading reason why he is in politics, and his instrument is again Grozdan Karadjov. Today he tried to justify himself that he almost entered to save the state because of the finances and the budget, but all Bulgarians can see that the budget deficit for 2024 is 3% or 6 billion leva, and that is why we can enter the Eurozone. If Slavi is now inventing a false reason for entry, and last time he pushed our cabinet because of "Macedoniayayaya", even though everyone is already saying that the French proposal is one of the best international agreements, because all of Europe is defending the Bulgarian position now, then what is happening? The answer is obvious in both cases - other behind-the-scenes forces are managing it. It's good then that exactly "We continue the change" managed to lead the regular governments, not the forces behind Slavi“, claims the co-chairman of “We continue the change“.
According to him, the most important change is that regardless of whether PP–DB are in power or opposition - everyone must change, which benefits Bulgarian citizens. “Zhelyazkov, even if he wants to, can no longer steal, as GERB did before 2020, because the environment has already changed“, said Petkov.
He stated that “this change will continue and Bulgaria will slowly but surely become a normal European country, which is already in Schengen, and as of yesterday it already meets all the criteria for the Eurozone - all goals that were chimeras 4 years ago“.
