Resigned ministers of GERB again imposed the morning blocks on the central televisions and fiercely defended their prime minister from the attacks of all other parties in the parliament and justified his non-appearance in the National Assembly. Ekaterina Zaharieva, Denitsa Sacheva and Rosen Zhelyazkov did this in front of BNT, bTV and Nova TV.
The Minister of Social Affairs Denitsa Sacheva told bTV: “Mr. Boyko Borissov has until Wednesday to consider whether to participate in parliament. The opposition makes us stubborn. It is against everything we have achieved. Boyko Borissov’s activity is extremely public and everyone can see live what he is doing. “He is accused of working authoritarianly. As you can see in the last year, each of us gives ideas, which are discussed at meetings of the Council of Ministers,” Sacheva said. She expressed doubt that GERB’s rivals are particularly interested in the plan for recovery and called for them to read it, not to criticize it just to find a reason to attack them. “
“We go to the consultations of the president with the attitude to declare readiness for a cabinet, although we do not have support, as there is already a clear opposition in the parliament against GERB. In the new cabinet you will see both new and colleagues who have already been ministers. The proposal for Daniel Mitov to be the future prime minister was taken after discussing other names. It is not a single person, “she added.
She herself did not want to enter a new cabinet, but to remain in parliament. The resigned Minister of Social Affairs pointed out that the Minister of Education Krassimir Valchev was among the most successful. Sacheva also praised the work of Kostadin Angelov, Vladislav Goranov and Kiril Anananie. “I am not a lawyer and I cannot interpret whether our decisions can be attacked and whether we are just ordinary citizens. The new legal team must judge. However, the deputies hurried to vote for the resignation, the minister said.
Foreign Minister Ekaterina Zaharieva told BNT: The aim was not to observe the Constitution or the rules, but to use another opportunity to call the Prime Minister. I don’t see why he should do it to himself, seeing what is happening in parliament. This is not how our parliament should look like.
What happened in parliament on Friday was further proof that the ruling majority is so “new” that when they were in politics, I was “right under the table.” It was clear that the new parties did not go to work, she said.
“The resignation of the government is a symbolic act. The resignation had to be read to the deputies and that’s it. I don’t know who advised Mika Zaykova to express herself in a similar way and ask where the prime minister and the cabinet are,” the resigned foreign minister added.
Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov told Nova TV: The purpose of Borissov’s request to go to the National Assembly is for him to be humiliated. If the prime minister decides, he will go to the deputies. He said he would go, so he did. It is clear to everyone that the goal of going there is to be humiliated, not to hear the Recovery and Sustainability Plan. ” This was stated by Rosen Zhilyazkov in the studio of “Hello, Bulgaria”.
“The plan is clear, there are three editions and it was discussed with trade unions, employers and the non-governmental sector. If the Parliament has other views related to the policies, programs and relevant projects in the Plan, it has the opportunity to make additions and proposals. This or another government will introduce it as it gathers the political will of the new majority in the parliament “, he added.
“The trust that each parliament votes in a government is called an investiture – that is. he dresses it with confidence and responsibility. This applies to the mandate of the respective parliament. This parliament has not trusted the cabinet. He has resigned before the newly elected National Assembly, so that not every political responsibility can be borne in the sense of a regular government within the mandate of the parliament that elected him, “said Zhelyazkov.
“On the other hand, the prime minister, as well as the deputy prime ministers and the ministers, within the meaning of the current regulations, can comply with the rules related to parliamentary control. Such habits of harassment humiliate the rule of law from the point of view of the separation of powers, “he commented.
He added: “We have legislative, executive and judicial powers. And insofar as the executive power functionally derives its powers from the legislative one, this is the so-called political responsibility, but outside the procedures according to the rules it is limited to the expiration of the life of the previous National Assembly ”.
He commented on the words of Filip Stanev about the fact that there were insinuations by the GERB deputies to the other deputies.
“Of course, there are rumors in every National Assembly. Sparks fly between the rows horizontally and vertically. Unfortunately, good manners even in the National Assembly are not a principle, but an exception. Parliamentary ethics will be a topic that will concern everyone. My colleagues and I will do what is necessary to return the good tone in the parliament “, said Rosen Zhelyazkov.
According to him, the National Assembly should not seek a rating, but set a good tone in society. “Tsveta Karayancheva was a good chairwoman and enjoyed the necessary authority, no matter how much everyone tried to humiliate her,” Zhelyazkov said.
“I do not know the new president. As far as she was a director in the administration of the National Assembly, I assume that she has the expertise and experience to deal with the procedure and expectations for this high post, “he commented.
