There is no direct threat to Bulgaria; there are potentially asymmetric threats, Natalia Kiselova, chairperson of the parliamentary group of "BSP - United Left," told journalists after a meeting of the Security Council to the Council of Ministers in connection with the situation in the Middle East.
The data presented is that there is no direct threat, there are potentially asymmetric threats, and specific questions were posed to the ministers, members of the Security Council, and heads of the services. "Asymmetric" means that otherwise common activities are used to disrupt the activities of various civil or state infrastructures, but this is about potential threats, we are not talking about a specific, real threat, explained Kiselova.
A large part of the activities that have been done as preparation were carried out by Mr. Zhelyazkov's government, Kiselova said in response to a question about whether the cabinet has a plan to cope. We asked specific questions, and it was said by both the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Finance that there will be subsequent specific actions to ensure the normal functioning of supply chains not only for oil and gas, but also for other usual activities related to food, water, medicine, she added. The dynamics in the geopolitical situation from Friday to today lead to constant change, but I think that our behavior should be in sync with the other member states of the EU and the Alliance, commented Kiselova.
