Andrey Gyurov prepares for the presidential race

The democratic community in Bulgaria expects Andrey Gyurov to officially announce his candidacy for president in the coming days. This became clear from a comment by the Deputy Speaker of Parliament and "Democratic Bulgaria" MP Atanas Atanasov to Nova TV.

"There is an organization for creating and staffing an initiative committee to nominate Gyurov as an independent candidate, and there is also a plan for how the campaign will be conducted," explained Atanasov.

Mobilization strategy

In addition to the topic of the presidential elections, Atanas Atanasov once again raised the issue of the need for the President to convene the Consultative Council for National Security (CCNS). According to him, "Democratic Bulgaria" has been insisting on this since July due to the seriously complicated security environment.
