/ world today news/ Now that I’m listening to you and looking at you with interest in the presidential elections, I’m thinking, why don’t we push ourselves and appoint a woman president for the presidential elections. We have enough figures to discuss.
This was stated by Prime Minister Boyko Borisov today in his greeting to the participants in the General Assembly of “Women-GERB” in NDK.
I thank those parties that participate in the government with us, because only what we have done so far was worth it, assured Borisov. He cited as an example the return of the funds from the European funds, the receipt of citizens’ money from the Corporate Commercial Bank.
I am also taking on the role of the other parties, it is difficult, but we have all realized that this is the best option, it is not ideal, but it is good for the country, the Prime Minister pointed out. Now we have distributed the management program to the other parties and it should be done by Wednesday, we have taken it as a commitment, he reminded.
