Next week, the Electoral Code shouldn't even be included on the agenda, commented the leader of "Morality, Unity, Honor" (MECH) Radostin Vasilev to journalists in parliament. He pointed out that there is a need for very large changes in the code, but not from this majority.
According to Vasilev, the lack of a quorum in parliament for two consecutive days is due to "Borisov's fear" and "a split in the BSP." "This is happening from Borisov's fear, he has pulled 5-6 people to not enter the hall, and from the fact that in the BSP, maybe, after the government fell, there is some kind of split. It is visible and the colleagues from the BSP are shouting to each other," said the leader of MECH.
But here we see the impudence of “There is such a people“, he commented. For me, they are forcing the code by constantly including it in an attempt to punish Borisov in some way, said Vasilev. "The handbrake (b. a. brake) there is pulled by Borisov. Because it's Zayko-Bayko, that's how I explain it. Because he knows that this thing provokes tension in society. Because they have no legitimacy, none, and because we should appear at the elections sooner, and they are trying to get some kind of official result," he added.
According to Radostin Vasilev, if these counters and scanners are introduced, there will be complete chaos at the time of the elections.
Asked about Bulgaria's joining the Council for Peace under the patronage of Donald Trump, the leader of MECH commented that the caretaker prime minister has no mandate to represent Bulgaria at any forums. This caretaker president did well not to go, he also said. For me, Bulgaria's position should have been: “We have political instability in the country. We need to have a government with a clear horizon and a majority that will take such a position“, Vasilev added. As an argument, he also pointed to the ignorance of whether our country will participate with a financial contribution. According to him, after three years, if they tell us: “Now pay“ and we give up, it looks very pathetic and ridiculous.
Regarding the ratification of Bulgaria's accession to the Council for Peace, he said that the decision of the MECH group is to abstain from voting.
Asked what follows after Rumen Radev leaves the presidential institution, the leader of MECH expressed hope that the new president in the person of Iliana Yotova will find a caretaker prime minister as quickly as possible, so as not to stay in this situation in parliament, in which there is no work, but is waiting to see how far a possible project of Radev will go.
We perceive Rumen Radev and his future project as a possible partner, said Vasilev in response to a question. He said that he would participate in a majority for the election of the Supreme Judicial Council, the replacement of the Central Election Commission, the replacement of the chief prosecutor and for major changes in the Electoral Code. Changing the code, here for a month or two quickly, and new elections are a plan that we are also considering and is possible, he added.
Radostin Vasilev also said that MECH will run independently in the upcoming elections.
