"GERB's goals are the eurozone, the PVU, the adopted budget, the fight against smuggling and to stop the state from digging the bottom, which has been the case for the last 4 years. The government is two months old, if there is a corruption scandal - let's comment on it". This was stated to journalists in parliament by GERB leader Boyko Borisov, quoted by novini.bg.
"I understand the protest of the restaurateurs, they are my friends, but with an 18 billion leva hole, for March it is 2 billion leva - we all pay for these damages. The uncontrolled spending of money over the last 4 years has led to this," added the GERB leader.
"Bulgarians should be worried about this vote of no confidence. As am I, of course. Next Wednesday will be a talking shop, parliamentary time is being wasted, that's what they decided, that's what they're doing, he commented on the second vote of no confidence against the "Zhelyazkov" cabinet, introduced by MECH."
"Tsekov was a minister, why doesn't he repair it. I say that there have been no highways in Bulgaria for 1300 years and what has been built was built by us. I wonder how these people, knowing what they've done, come out to talk. Their business, I don't want to comment on them."
"With his statement today Denkov confirms my concerns that they explicitly, with their inactions, with the personnel appointments in the assembly, for the KPKONPI Boyko Rashkov, for the DANS Petar Petrov, that is why we did not adopt these laws, which we now accept with ease. Because of their personal ambitions to use Boyko Rashkov and Petar Petrov as bludgeons. With his statement today, colleague Denkov is putting the convergence report at risk, because if January 1 is given for adopting the euro, then the government could fall in July, because they will have 120 votes", Borisov believes.
"With his statement today that in July pro-Russian and any other parties together with the PP-DB can submit a vote of no confidence and the government could fall, they will intimidate Brussels, the report will not be good or they will postpone us and what happened with Schengen will happen. We will wait for Glavchev to return and bring us into the eurozone, but in 10 years, as he brought us into Schengen. Therefore, I am addressing the PP-DB - wait for them to accept us and then do whatever you want. Let's send a signal to Bulgaria for stability, for predictability, that will discipline."
In Plovdiv, everyone should be smeared, fired to the bone. Customs, Ministry of Internal Affairs, tax - everything that has been appointed by Assen Vassilev for the last 4 years. Plamen Uzunov appointed everyone in Plovdiv, the GERB leader was categorical.
"We need to listen to the people about "Botas". We need to understand who made these people sign this contract. The head of state Rumen Radev, am I clear. The contract would have been successful if they had contracted for 16-17 tankers. There are no land points in it, we can only import liquefied gas. But since there are no ships with liquefied gas, this contract is meaningless. That's what I said then."
"I travel around the country all the time. I'm more than calm about the GERB mayors. I don't like to talk and take what belongs to others, but right now a wave is rising. I show exceptional collegiality towards my colleagues from the APS to stay where they are. A wave of dissatisfaction is rising, because the parties are not being governed the way they want."
