Rumen Radev is our main opponent in these elections, said Rumen Hristov from GERB-SDS, who is also the chairman of SDS, on BNT.
Main, because we are fighting for first place, he declared.
Asked whether SDS will be with GERB again in the upcoming vote, Hristov replied that on February 21st a National Council of SDS is forthcoming, which will make this decision. The attitude seems to be like that, but I won't prejudge, a decision will be made at the National Council, he explained.
Asked whether he believes in Andrey Gyurov, Hristov pointed out that the choice is President Yotova's and they do not dispute her right to decide who to appoint as caretaker prime minister. After five people remained in the “house book”, she chose him, that is her right. Let's hope that fair elections will be held, which all political formations in Bulgaria expect, he said.
Regarding the "Petrohan" case, Rumen Hristov commented that this is a very heavy blow for Bulgarian society. On the one hand, we see a deep trauma in society, on the other hand - a division, and in the third place - distrust, he thinks.
