"There is no way we can support a vote of no confidence that distances Bulgaria from the goals of having a strong economy and a strong financial system". This was stated in "Panorama" on BNT by PP-DB MP Bogdan Bogdanov.
"We put people in focus - both in the budget discussions, and in the policies we propose, and in the battles we wage every day".
Bogdan Bogdanov asked why the issue of Bulgaria having its own gunpowder plant is only now being raised, given that he proposed the idea last year, while he was Minister of Economy. He also said that the project was then stopped under pressure from Delyan Peevski.
"This was a proposal that was given to Borisov, Peevski, the people who made decisions in our coalition. The gunpowder plant was presented to a wide circle of representatives, including Peevski, Borisov, Kiril Petkov, General Atanasov. A broad majority was required to make a decision to build such a plant. Then, under pressure from Peevski, SANS withdrew its positive opinion. I raised the topic from every platform I had the opportunity to - the media, the public space, the institutions".
Bogdan Bogdanov believes that it is not the head of SANS who makes the decisions in the agency and would have resigned in his place. He pointed out that if he were still the Minister of Economy, this project would have been completed long ago.
Bulgaria is integrated into the new paradigm for European consolidation - defense, Bogdan Bogdanov commented. Although they are in opposition, the PP-DB welcomes the fact that Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov is at the same table with the so-called "coalition of the willing" for Ukraine.
"There has never been a question of Bulgaria sending troops anywhere, but only with this consolidated defense can Bulgaria have security," the MP said.
