DSB Leader Atanas Atanasov Points to Presidential Connections in Recordings Made in Parliamentary and Party Offices

Atanas Atanasov is convinced that circles related to the president are involved

The recordings of Radostin Vassilev were made in the parliament and party offices of “We continue the change” – “Democratic Bulgaria”. This became clear from the words of the DSB leader, Gen. Atanas Atanasov.

“A part of these recordings were recorded in the National Assembly. What is more interesting is another – that a part of the recordings were made outside the National Assembly in premises where political bodies were meeting. The interesting thing is how it happened”, commented Atanasov on the air of Nova Tv. He did not know that there were records from the DSB headquarters on “Karnigradska” street in the capital. He is convinced that circles connected to the president are involved.

He believes that some of the recordings were made with a phone.

I wouldn’t want to deal with the nitty-gritty. Surely these days this will be used to stir up scandal. We have to look higher, see the processes and look for solutions. There is fierce opposition from various quarters to the formation of a regular government. And this case is part of that. Regular power in which our union participates, said Atanasov. According to him, some of the other formations regretted not forming a government in the first term.

The DSB leader recalled that in the 48th National Assembly, a live recording of a meeting of the “Democratic Bulgaria” group in the parliament was leaked. Then the cameras in the hall turned out to be on and were broadcasting live.

“Now again, these recordings were made in these premises, some of them”, explained Atanasov. He himself had not heard them.

I don’t know where Radostin Vassilev is, if he is alone. He is an ambitious person who most likely has not been satisfied with his ambitions. In this case, he is a tool of those who resist against the creation of power, he commented.

Environments that do not tolerate each other interact. Environments associated with the presidency, because they can steal with impunity and unchecked, and on the other hand, environments associated with the former GERB rulers who are resisting the need for democratic forces to take over and end their schemes. These environments do not tolerate each other, but now they are currently interacting, he said.

Atanasov knew which services had access to the building of the National Assembly, where some of the recordings were made, but he did not want to give details. However, he commented that all our services were “hacked”.

“I publicly said that I don’t want to play the role of a laundromat,” he answered when asked if there had been talks about “laundering” Boyko Borisov. Last night, in his statement, Kiril Petkov announced that this is also heard in some of the recordings of the former sports minister Vassilev.

Atanasov does not think that the reason is so simple – Vassilev was offended that he would not be a minister. One of the reasons for doing this was to influence people from GERB who are against the creation of a government with PP-DB.

I am convinced that all this is to prevent the formation of a government with the second mandate, but they will not succeed. We will do everything necessary for Bulgaria to have a regular government, because in a month we will not have a budget. I expect there will be a flare of emotions in GERD now, that’s why it was made. It is known that there are certain circles in the PG of the GERB who resist against supporting our second term, and now they are being given gasoline in their hands, commented the co-chairman of the DB. He explained that last night he was with academician Denkov until 6 o’clock, but he did not hear from him that GERB wanted the interior and justice ministers to be named by them.

Let me do an advertisement here, as Borisov has done over the years. There is no better person than me for interior minister, and for justice minister, but you can see that we take seriously all these expectations to create a stable government, said Atanasov.

However, he spoke about a deputy minister in the GERB cabinet who was competent and suitable for the position of Minister of the Interior. He did not name names, but specified that he was against experts not proposed by Boyko Borisov’s people, but by the nomenclature of GERB.

“Everything flows, everything changes,” he answered when asked if it was possible for GERB to change and not be the party with which PP-DB fought for a long time. He also gave an example – BKP became BSP. However, he also saw strong hatred from GERD people.

He did not comment in detail on the alleged murder of Krasimir Kamenov – Kuro in the Republic of Bulgaria, but did not rule out the possibility that it was related to internal processes in Bulgaria. He explained that he could have been removed in order not to disclose information he had.

According to him, GERB are currently focused on taking Geshev’s head because they are afraid of what he might betray.
