Bozanov: The cabinet is currently unstable due to the dissatisfaction of the DPS - Dogan with Peevski's influence on the regulators  - 1

I am familiar with what has been submitted to the National Assembly. I am not familiar with the materials on the investigation, I do not know when I will be questioned. In what I have become familiar, only nonsense is written - things that did not happen. He said this on the show "Since the Day" on BNT, the deputy chairman of the PP-DB parliamentary group Bozhidar Bozhanov, who earlier today waived his parliamentary immunity, quoted by novini.bg.

His immunity was requested by the acting Prosecutor General Borislav Sarafov on February 27. According to the prosecutor's office, Bozhidar Bozhanov, in his capacity as Minister of Electronic Governance and the person who awarded the public procurement contract in 2022, violated his official duties.

I gave myself immunity so that the prosecutor's office could try to prove this nonsense and for it to fall apart. I gave myself immunity so that it could go to court as quickly as possible and for it to establish where the truth lies, Bozhanov said.

He also commented on the words of GERB leader Boyko Borisov from today that the government is not stable.
The government and the majority are not stable by Borisov's decision. We know who he first met with - BSP and "There is such a people", and then the negotiations with "Democratic Bulgaria" were terminated by his decision. The government is currently unstable due to the dissatisfaction of MRF - Dogan with Peevski's influence in the selection of regulators. We cannot imagine the scenario in which MRF - Dogan leaves the government due to Peevski's influence, and we join in. Moreover, our proposals for a cordon sanitaire around Peevski were not supported, emphasized the deputy chairman of the PG of "Continuing Change - Democratic Bulgaria".

In response to a question, he explained that at first reading, the coalition will not support the budget.

But at second reading, we will support all the right-wing measures that bring us closer to the eurozone. There will be support for parts of the budget that we consider reasonable and right-wing. The budget is not right-wing enough in the environment in which spending needs to be limited, for example, in terms of police salaries, Bozhidar Bozhanov noted.

According to him, the cabinet's position on Ukraine is not entirely clear.

The government may have our support for a pan-European decision to support Ukraine. In the current geopolitical situation, it may turn out that we have a new version of Yalta, and we, with our hesitation, may end up in the wrong environment. We cannot afford this risk, Bozhanov added.
