With 943 votes in favor, GERB unanimously re-elected Boyko Borissov as the party’s leader. This happened at the National Assembly, which is being held today. The former prime minister was the only candidate for the post.
“During the war, commanders do not change,” Borissov said, proposing Tomislav Donchev and Daniel Mitov as his current deputies. Delegates voted 942 in favor, no against and one abstention.
GERB elects new party leadership
The event was attended by nearly 1,100 delegates and guests from all regional structures of the party in the country, the leadership of GERB, MPs, MEPs, municipal councilors, mayors and chairmen of municipal councils from the formation.
“We are adamant about war – it’s not a military operation, an invasion, or a game. There is a war going on near our border, in Odessa. “There is no excuse to spare the aggressor,” Borissov said after his election.
“I have always been in favor of a peaceful, balanced policy, but that is when there is peace, then diplomats are most important. When there is a war, when you see millions of refugees and to call it an operation – definitely not. Instead, we as a state and a nation should be categorical, because in peace you can talk about national interests. When people die and millions of refugees are exported, then there is only one interest and that is human life, “he added.
“To say that you are against sanctions, against equipment to be sent, which makes the whole of Europe and the world, we from GERB are outraged by this. It is not serious to go to the European Council and only have a declaration of sanctions thanks to GERB “, the GERB leader is categorical.
“We say, our Confucius Donchev says that this is a coalition of hatred. Why do they hate us for eating white bread during our rule? When our President Plevneliev was forming a caretaker government, these people became ministers there, why hate us? If we were bad, why were they with us all the time? ”Borissov asked.
“Is it speculation to produce electricity for BGN 50 at the NPP and sell it for BGN 600 to businesses?” This is called state speculation. And it is you, the rulers, who have set an example of how huge speculation is being made. “Isn’t it speculation that you are taking advantage of the official position of the Minister of Finance, for the suggestions after three weeks of being summoned for questioning that he almost wanted to leave Goranov illegally,” Borissov added.
“If we were in charge, I would give a plus or minus 2-3% to change the price, because everything is Bulgarian. From where to where? ”He stressed.
“We offered them a dream opposition, they didn’t accept it. We told them every decision related to the war – we accept soldiers, send equipment, money, manning the army, with all the political risk we carry as a party. We offered to support them, they do not accept anything, and at the same time they say “shake the state”. What are we rocking with? Do we want to offer you to fix things? ”Borissov asked.
“They don’t have a Plan for a year, Donchev left them a ready Plan,” the GERB leader added.
“We want to unite, but the party was adamant. I saw in them that something was really wrong. Another manipulation, again on Facebook two days ago, the Deputy Prime Minister wrote that 10 billion a year was stolen, and Vassilev said 8 billion a year. Petkov said 4 billion a year. Those billions are worthless. But a year has passed since GERB does not rule, why we do not see 8 billion in the budget, but they are drawing a debt of half a billion a week “, Borissov commented. “They are bursting with debts, obliging the next generation and at the same time the growth of the economy is plus or minus 1%, with this inflation over 15%, the population is becoming impoverished en masse,” Borissov said.
“Now, against the rules, they want to put a bachelor’s degree at the largest bank. For the other banks you can have a master’s degree, and for the BNB – a bachelor’s degree, because the position is not responsible for the person “, pointed out the GERB leader.
“We want prosperity for the state, we also want Hemus to happen. Yesterday for Vratsa as I passed – it is holes, nobody does anything. What I want most today is for the war to stop and for our region to be rebuilt. They really wanted to change me, they really wanted the yard to be without a shepherd dog and many attempts were made, thanks to the people of the first line, my comrades in the good sense of the word for decades, that they did not fail. Thanks to them, you still need me. They are very evil and mean, you still need the dog “, added Borisov.
The UDF re-elected Rumen Hristov as party chairman
“GERB is the only reasonable alternative for the citizens, it will return to the path of victory,” Zhivko Todorov, a member of the commission and mayor of Stara Zagora, said earlier in a report by the Executive Committee (IC).
He told delegates that the political force was very well structured at national and regional level. “However, there is still a lot of work to be done to prove that GERB is the only reasonable alternative for the citizens, for the country,” Todorov said.
“GERB has not just a party chairman, but a real leader, and I believe that with his re-election we will be led to another victory in the elections,” the mayor of Stara Zagora said in a report.
“Today marks exactly three months since the state was governed by” We Continue Change. ” Today, every Bulgarian citizen is experiencing a change in his back, “said Denitsa Sacheva.
The high prices of basic necessities were part of Sacheva’s main criticism of the government. “Unprecedented prices for bread, electricity, gas, oil. Exhausted by high electricity prices hospitals, schools, kindergartens, social homes. “There is a lack of adequate compensation for businesses and public institutions, and anyone who asks for help is threatened with a financial check,” she said.
According to her, pensioners are left to their own devices, with 1 million of them living below the poverty line.
Borissov: There is a monstrous scam with the export of grain, and the biggest specialist is Spetsov
Delyan Dobrev commented on the price of gas. “Gas is expensive because Europe is recovering fast and consuming a lot of gas. The other countries in Europe have given aid, and we have done nothing. We invited trade unions and employers during the election campaign. We came up with a new formula. “In July last year, we proposed a buffer to compensate businesses for expensive electricity and gas, which would keep inflation at bay,” he said.
Dobrev recalled that GERB’s proposal for compensation was rejected by the ruling party. “At the end of November, with the formation of the 47 National Assembly, we submitted a proposal for compensation of 75%, but they rejected it. They tried to copy it. They gave something similar, but it came out lame. “I’m sure Harvard professors will be ashamed of this model,” he said.
According to him, inflation will be replaced by a recession. “We have monstrous inflation that is roaming Bulgaria and eating away at people’s incomes. It also exists in Europe, but it is half as small there because they have been compensated. Nothing good will happen. It will get much worse. The beast of the recession will also appear, “Dobrev stressed.
GERB proposes the creation of a “Bulgarian Card”
“Today, it is important to condemn the Russian invasion in practice with real action. Sanctions are just one of the tools, “said Daniel Mitov.
“Ukraine needs real help, and the Bulgarian government is hesitant and indecisive. We had to tell the government that in such situations a crisis headquarters is being formed, “he added.
Borissov: Terror and violence, peace and life are not the most valuable value of our time
“We need to talk about the past. Should we feel guilty that we have been responsible for governing the country for a decade? This is an honor. We ruled for the benefit of the citizens. The three mandates of GERB will remain as a symbol of stability and peace, “said Tomislav Donchev.
He pointed out that GERB ruled with support, not by coincidence. “We ruled because people gave us decisive support, not by chance and luck. Bulgaria is ruled by a coalition of hatred. There is no connecting element between them. The only thing that unites them is hatred of others. Hatred is a lack of purpose. That is why the results of this government are so disastrous. We have staff misunderstandings and lack of results. Do we have a Recovery Plan? Anti-crisis measures? There is a change, but for the worse. “Citizens need an alternative,” he said.
