Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport and Communications in resignation, Grozdan Karadjov, stated that he had not made compromises in his work over the past year, unlike the parties supporting the government – sitting at one table, people with diametrically opposed positions. Grozdan Karadjov said this evening on the show “Why?” on bTV.
According to Karadjov, compromise was a constituent element in the work of the government in resignation, and as such, he highlighted the budget, which is a combination of right-wing and social measures.
As a success of the government in resignation, he singled out the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, and as his own success in the role of minister - the doubled funds in his department, the negotiation of new trains for “Bulgarian State Railways” (BDZ) and the drafted Law on Public Transport.
Grozdan Karadjov, who is from the civil quota of “There Is Such a People” (ITN), also answered a question about the changed vote of MPs from the parliamentary group of ITN when voting for the removal of security from the National Security Service for the leaders of the political parties GERB and “DPS-New Beginning” Boyko Borisov and Delyan Peevski. According to him, the MPs themselves should be asked about their motives, stating that he does not attend party meetings.
Regarding the debate on the use of scanners during voting in the upcoming early parliamentary elections this spring, Karadjov expressed his disagreement to have such a conversation at the last moment. According to him, this should happen in a calm environment, so that people have confidence in the electoral process, which will attract more voters to the polls.
He suggested that the next National Assembly address this issue from its first working day.
Asked whether he would participate in the same position in a caretaker cabinet, Grozdan Karadjov said that he could not answer such a question, because it contains many hypotheses.
