The president convened the CIS in the early hours of the Russian invasion. Everyone then agreed that this was an absurd war and invasion. This was stated by Vice President Iliana Yotova on the air of “Na Focus” on Nova TV.
“This position has not changed. The hesitant decisions of the government have changed,” she said.
“The position is hesitant on the part of the government. I will not qualify Vassilev’s words that Radev’s position is disgraceful, but I will return the balland I will say that it is a disgrace, if it is proved that the interests of 25 Bulgarian companies are neglected for rather dubious commissions related to certain banks and companies“Iotova said.
“If this is proven, we will face a huge scandal with the smell of gas and this requires resignations or at least that of Asen Vassilev“, she is categorical.
“If the decision not to pay Gazprom was taken because of the introduction of another gas through an offshore company and it was agreed in advance, it means that there is a scandal and the one who made this decision must resign. is a disgraceful position, “she said.
“It is unacceptable for our Minister of Energy to go to a meeting in the EU tomorrow without a postponement of the coalition council, which has been postponed. We have one position of Ms. Ninova, who wants to resume negotiations, and the other – to break with.” Gazprom, “as Mr Vassilev defended two months ago, is moving towards alternative supplies,” she said.
Asked whether Bulgaria should pay in rubles, Yotova admitted that she did not know exactly what the agreement and preliminary agreements said:
“Some time ago, the authorities said that we have no problem paying in rubles, we have the necessary tools,” she recalled.
Yotova admitted that she was not surprised by Ninova’s position on the president.
“Ninova, as economy minister, is a coalition partner of this young PP. I am one of the few people who believe that this coalition still has a future,” she said.
“I do not consider the hypothesis that the government will fall. Despite serious disagreements in the coalition, it will survive these quakes. “I don’t think Ninova will cause the fall of this government,” Yotova said.
She reproached Kiril Petkov that he went to Ukraine as Prime Minister, without being able to say a clear position on the topic of our country“And if he said how he did it, without the state actually deciding. He is the representative of Bulgaria after all,” she added.
