–With these words, she commented on the statement of Kiril Petkov, who said after the no-confidence vote yesterday: “It was an honor for me to head a government overthrown by Borisov, Peevski, Trifonov and Mitrofanova.”
“The fact that I am to blame for the fall of the cabinet is probably the most convenient explanation, because our country is to blame for everything that is happening in Bulgaria. Last year, Bulgarians voted for parliament three times and a coalition government was formed. The parties in the National Assembly are from a different political spectrum, “Mitrofanova said.

The fact that Sofia was at the forefront of sanctions against our country caused the slightest bewilderment among ordinary Bulgarian citizens. Bulgaria is not rich In addition, inflation has reached 18%. This is a very high level and it has a negative impact on the people in the country, “she added.
“There is another problem – Northern Macedonia. Bulgaria is blocking the path of its southwestern neighbor to the European Union for historical reasons. This, together with the economic crisis, led to the fall of the cabinet,” the diplomat added.
