Minchev, Gyurov and Lorer in the narrowest party circle
The extended leadership includes the non-partisan ministers Asena Serbezova and Atanas Atanasov, as well as the Gambling
“Change” first had 4 important tasks, so only now it becomes a party
11 people will be closest to Kiril Petkov and Asen Vassilev when the fate and behavior of “We continue the change” is being decided as a party. The youngest political formation was formed at midnight on Saturday, and on Palm Sunday it became clear who was in its narrow leadership. It did so four months after it came to power without political registration, and three small parties became its mandate holders.
The new party has two chairmen – Petkov and Vassilev, decided the more than 800 founders, gathered in the “Bulgaria” hall of the Plovdiv Fair. Due to many commitments in the government, the prime minister and his deputy will rely on the party affairs of a 13-member Executive Council. In addition to them are the heads of parliament Nikola Minchev and the group Andrey Gyurov, the Deputy Prime Minister Kalina Konstantinovathe ministers Daniel Lorer, Nikolai Sabev and Nikolai Denkovgovernment spokeswoman and head of the prime minister’s office Lena Borislavovaas well as MPs Venice Netsova-Angova, Rosen Kosturkov, Kaloyan Ikonomov and Ivaylo Shotev.
The deputy head of the National Assembly, Miroslav Ivanov, heads the party’s control council, which includes four others, including PR Alexander Boychev.
65 will be members of the expanded party leadership, most of them again MPs, ministers and deputy ministers. From the list of the National Council it is clear that the members of the PP party are already Hristo Petrov – Hazarta, the Minister of Health Prof. Asena Serbezova and the Minister of Culture Atanas Atanasov.
Why “We continue the change” has decided to become a party only now, Lena Borislavova explained on Sunday. She said they had other urgent tasks during the first 100 days of rule and only now have time left for party building.
It was more important for us to solve at least 4 important tasks: a new way to deal with the COVID crisis, to successfully complete the sustainability plan, to take the first steps of judicial reform by closing the specialized courts, dealing with the energy crisis and helping business and citizens, Borislavova explained to bTV.
One of the great challenges of the coalition was communication – both between the partners and in explaining to the people how the change is taking place. And the next election was not on the agenda.
There is no trade for coalition posts, and the fight for posts should not be at any cost, without respecting the will of the partners. This is not a way to move forward, Borislavova was categorical. She hoped at one point
all partners to learn the lesson that they are still in a quadruple coalition
She was not happy that the coalition did not unite around one candidacy for the BNB.
There is a great movement in the Council of Ministers, people are constantly writing to us with signals, we hear things that you will find hard to believe, said the head of the Prime Minister’s Office.
I personally have not witnessed such general euphoria and such a celebration that took place on the night of the arrest of former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov. The disappointment came because there was clearly no full package of evidence and no desire on the part of the prosecution to conduct a comprehensive investigation. Mr. Bozhkov has not yet been questioned, she added. To the statement of the presenter Maria Tsantsarova that the euphoria and the letter of the law have nothing in common and the arrest is illegal according to the court, Borislavova said: I’m not happy with the way things went. What we need to know is that the Ministry of the Interior is working hard to bring the schemes to light and gather evidence. But in order for the Ministry of Interior to be able to do its job, these efforts must be joint with the prosecutor’s office. A prosecutor is watching over the investigating police officer, the chief prosecutor is watching. Why do you think such a level of control is needed?
She linked the request of the prosecutor’s office to get access to the recordings of the cameras in the Council of Ministers for the period from February 23 to March 23 to the fact that the government has become a point of direct contact with the European Prosecutor’s Office. A little more operational time is needed. There are people who want to testify, ask for the status of a protected witness, Borislavova explained.
Councilors advise, not pursue foreign policy. The government is ready to give the green light to start negotiations between RS Macedonia and the EU when there are results, Borislavova added.
