DPS will ask for a vote of no confidence in the government –

/ world today news/ DPS called on Prime Minister Boyko Borisov to demand the resignation of Health Minister Petar Moskov because of the lie told to him from the rostrum of the National Assembly. If the Prime Minister does not do this, the DPS will start consultations for a vote of no confidence.

This was stated by DPS leader Lyutvi Mestan at a briefing at the party’s headquarters, a BGNES reporter reported. Mestan presented to the media data from an inquiry to the Minister of Internal Affairs about the cases of attacks on doctors, which from the beginning of 2014 to December 17 were 17 in number, and not 225 as reported by Moscow.

We would like to inform you about Minister Vuchkov’s answer to our question asked a month ago about the statistics on attacks on doctors and other medical professionals from the Emergency Service, which the Minister of Health had referred to in his public appearances, Mestan announced at the beginning of the briefing .

“From the high rostrum of the National Assembly, Minister Moskov stated that “the statistics are terrifying, because there are 225 registered attacks on doctors”. I draw attention to two words – statistics and registered. We stated a principled position that this is a huge problem with which our it is a political and civic duty to fight,” Mestan recalled.

According to him, even if a doctor is attacked, this is a huge problem of Bulgarian society and this issue is above political differences. “The minister is far from alone in defending the doctors – we are all on their side”, confirmed the DPS leader, but announced that it is “very important for a minister not to lie”, but to correctly present the real picture of the problem.

“We turned to the Minister of the Interior, who keeps a register of crimes, which is the competent authority, and asked him if the statements of Minister Moskov were true, that there were 225 attacks on emergency teams registered, and secondly, whether when registering a violation of public order reflects the ethno-religious origin of the perpetrator,” Mestan said, then read Vuchkov’s answer.

“The Ministry of the Interior has not provided data to the Ministry of Health,” he quoted and asked what statistics Moscow was talking about. In the regional directorates of the Ministry of Internal Affairs since the beginning of 2014. the following cases involving medical teams were registered – four in Pleven (threats), three in Vidin with official cars, four incidents in Lovech related to broken glass, one attack on a paramedic in Kyustendil, three cases of verbal assault in Blagoevgrad, one case of minor injury in Silistra, Mestan listed.

The cases are 17 in total, he pointed out and announced that he will not differentiate them because even verbal attacks are a huge problem and the perpetrator must be prosecuted.

“What does the difference from the 17 cases that Minister Vuchkov talked about for the whole of 2014 until December 17, to 225 cases show?” Mestan asked. “If we are quite precise, we should ask which of the two is lying – Minister Moskov or Minister Vuchkov”, he added and emphasized that there is no reason to doubt Vuchkov’s written answer.

“The question is what Minister Moskov is aiming for with this false statement about 225 registered attacks. The difference from 17 to 225 shows the mechanisms of an extremely dangerous manipulation of public opinion, which is expressed in building the image of the enemy with whom the bearer of good must be fight. This is the heroic minister fighting a terrible evil,” Mestan said. According to him, this manipulation is not harmless, because on the basis of fabricated statistics, Moscow has deployed a whole campaign to shift the blame from a few perpetrators to an entire ethnic group. “On this basis, he allowed himself to liken representatives of the Roma ethnic group as people who “chose to live like cattle and for that they will be treated as such”, Mestan recalled.

“We are asking Prime Minister Mr. Borisov – which of his two ministers is lying? If it is Minister Moskov, what will be the Prime Minister’s political decision. We believe that a person who has proven to lie to the legislative body and a person who, on the basis of his own lie resorted to the language of hatred and showed himself as an outright xenophobe, he cannot be a minister in European Bulgaria. We expect the prime minister to ask for his resignation will start consultations to initiate a vote of no confidence because of the xenophobic expressions and lies that Minister Petar Moskov told,” announced Lyutvi Mestan.

He opened the bracket that 100 days have not passed since the mandate of the “Borisov 2” cabinet and the DPS would not submit a vote of no confidence before the completion of 100 days of the mandate, which is why the vote will not be in sectoral politics, but because of the ethical unfitness of a minister Moscow to occupy this post.

Mestan was categorical that Moscow was not talking about “internal departmental information”, but about “statistics” and “registered cases”, at that from the rostrum of the National Assembly. “We will wait for the prime minister’s reaction, after which we will inform you in detail about the reasons for a possible vote of no confidence,” promised Mestan.

He announced that he has no qualms about asking all the people’s representatives to support such a request, because it is about the legitimacy of the Bulgarian cabinet as a cabinet in a member state of the European Union. Mestan declined to answer the question of what deadline he was giving the prime minister for an answer, declaring that it was a clear and definite position and there was no need for loud media headlines for ultimatums. “We do not set deadlines, but from today you all know about Minister Vuchkov’s answer and you see the huge contradiction”.
