GERB names Borissov prime minister with more than 80 MPs after vote, PP-DB: No talks

GERB will propose a government led by Boyko Borisov if it gets a majority of more than 80 parliamentary seats in the vote on October 27, Rosen Zhelyazkov said on Wednesday at the last TV debate on bTV. Immediately after his speech, the former Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov from the PP-DB objected that GERB would in this way stop the possibility of negotiations for a general government in the bud.

Despite the many assurances of Nikolay Denkov and Kristina Petkova (DSB) that GERB representatives – Rosen Zhelyazkov and Delyan Dobrev directly say that they will not govern after the elections together with Delyan Peevski and “Vazrazhdane”, none of them deal directly with this statement.

When asked if GERB is ready for an honest partnership for an anti-corruption government with an independent cabinet from Delyan Peevski, Zhelyazkov said: “We are again talking about something in the style of Harry Potter, where that Voldemort’s name is not mentioned. “

Prime Minister Borisov for the fourth time?

“If we have a majority that gives reasons to propose our leader, we will propose it. We have said since then – if we have representatives of 80 or more people, this is our proposal,” said Rosen Zhelyazkov.

It was stopped directly by Nikolay Denkov, who announced:

“From now on, we will tell you clearly – by recommending Borisov, you cut off the possibility of even starting negotiations. Because Borisov was the one who put Peevski on the table when we started negotiated last time,” said Denkov.

Rosen Zhelyazkov’s admission that his establishment would recommend Borissov as head of another government with a GERB majority in the 51st National Assembly came as Zhelyazkov asked Denkov and Petkova to reveal who the future equal prime minister would be. the PP-DB would recommend as prime minister. . It was then that he was challenged as to which political figure GERB recommended and Zhelyazkov pointed to the leader of his party – Borisov.

During the debate, Zhelyazkov expressed that the PP-DB should support their cabinet, and if their votes are not enough to decide whether they need a third party.

“The cabinet should look like this: if we get support from the second, we will discuss together who we will seek more support from. If we do not get the support of the second, we will propose a minority government and we will expect support based on our stated priorities and strategic goals,” explained Rosen Zhelyazkov. In detail, he said that they would give a co-government -bond to PP-DB if they did not have an absolute majority of more than 80 MPs.

“It is not out of the question that we will propose a joint government to the minority, which will have a coalition form again and we will seek support again. Then the subject of equal priority must assume the nature of equal priority. He must bear the political responsibility,” Zhelyazkov also said.

From the PP-DB, he again highlighted his priorities, against the promise that they would bring in the future government – the adoption of the anti-corruption laws and those necessary for payments under the Plan A -revival and Sustainability, etc. .

Stories of meetings and conversations with Delyan Peevski

During the discussion, in the form of stories, both GERB and PP-DB accused themselves of holding meetings with Peevski, with which each of the creations solved some “four eyes” issues.

“One day Peevski called me and said – ‘Can you come to my office.’ I’m going, there were only two: Peevski and Asen Vassilev. Both of them were talking about what decisions should be made, it was about energy, so they called me. This is where Peevski is connected to GERB, as PP-DB has personal meetings face to face,” said Dobrev.

Nikolay Denkov countered another story.

“One of the people who are now standing next to Boyko Borisov at pre-election meetings once said: “Now I will call the boss,” and started the conversation with “Delyane, what what are we going to do here? ” And it was no surprise. I’m not talking to you, Mr. Dobrev,” Denkov also said.
