A good lawyer, but he needs good advisers, he said
Ognyan Gerdjikov as a colleague and former prime minister
Who is Petar Iliev? How did his name appear for one of the most important ministerial positions in Slavi Trifonov’s first vacant cabinet – that of the Minister of Justice? And is the 42-year-old assistant at the Faculty of Law at Sofia University really the candidate of “There is such a people” as Prime Minister?
“24 Chasa” tried to contact Petar Iliev on Tuesday. However, the potential prime minister did not answer phone calls or messages.
“I know Iliev,
a lot
intelligently
boy
very smart, very well prepared, very good lawyer. The only thing that might bother me a little is whether he has enough managerial experience. But there must be a very good composition of advisers around to help, because otherwise it will hang, “commented the potential Prime Minister Prof. Ognian Gerdjikov. The two are colleagues from Sofia University, and Gerdjikov was speaker of parliament, and served as prime minister in 2017 under Rumen Radev’s first caretaker government.
Gerdjikov is also the man who presented Petar Iliev with the “Lawyer of the Year” award.
Their own and others are looking for more details and information for days about Peter Iliev. There will probably be no official information from Slavi Trifonov’s party until Friday. From the caretaker government of Stefan Yanev and the “suspects” for remaining in the next cabinet, it is heard only that they have no invitation. Kiril Petkov and Asen Vassilev are the most frequently mentioned names for a logical continuation of their careers as Minister of Economy and Finance. The expectations were that one of the two would even take over as prime minister.
As it became clear in recent days – a cabinet with a duration of one year and a clear program agreed between all in parliament, without GERB, are being discussed. If the ministers manage, they can stay longer, Yanaki Stoilov, caretaker Minister of Justice, explained to the Red Plenum on Sunday.
So that
for Petar Iliev
is emerging
difficult year
in which “There is such a people”, “Stand up BG! We are coming! ”,“ Democratic Bulgaria ”, BSP and MRF will monitor whether he keeps the promise of Slavi Trifonov’s party during the consultations. GERB has officially announced that they will be in opposition – they will also not miss the mistakes of the government.
The version for Plovdiv connection in its offer was launched, although Petar Iliev was born in Sofia and graduated in law from Sofia University. “I don’t remember my colleague,” a prominent Plovdiv lawyer said of the expected 56th prime minister.
Petar Iliev is a really prominent young lawyer, winner of the prestigious award “Lawyer of the Year”. He is a doctor of law. He is the author of two books and over 60 other scientific publications on various legal issues. Beyond strictly legal issues, there are more political developments such as “Attendance of Members of Parliament in Plenary and Committee Meetings. Sanctions for absence. Quorum. Majorities. Day and time for voting ”or“ Proposals for rationalization of the Bulgarian model for distribution of the normative functions between the parliament and the government ”. He majored in English Commercial Law and European Union Law at Buckingham University, UK, where he graduated with honors. He also majored in American Commercial Law in New York, USA, where he also graduated with honors.
Dr. Petar Iliev is also the founder of the Accounting Company “Legamax Accounting” – a highly respected Bulgarian accounting firm.
Various versions have spread on the Internet about the launch of Petar Iliev for the first position in the executive branch – from the presidential secretary – Plamen Uzunov from Plovdiv, to the influential Masonic lodge in Plovdiv. Iliev has actually been a discovery of the “Show of Fame” for years, he has been invited many times for an opinion.
It also seems logical that Slavi Trifonov and his cabinet advisers were looking for a good lawyer to
acceptable for
“It’s democratic
Bulgaria ”
However, 24 Chasa has learned that Hristo Ivanov’s group has serious reservations about the idea of the lawyer being the future prime minister, albeit with a slightly strange argument – he is also an honorary consul of Barbados in Bulgaria, and this was an offshore zone.
Petar Iliev was nominated by Slavi Trifonov as Minister of Justice in the government with Prime Minister Nikolay Vassilev, which was later dropped by the ITN leader due to objections from Democratic Bulgaria and the coalition around Maya Manolova.
He teaches constitutional law at Sofia University.
In the department
brought prof.
George
Gemini,
said his colleague.
He is the first and only lawyer who participated as a defense counsel and procedural representative in a court hearing of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Bulgaria in a constitutional case concerning the BSP MP Ivan Ivanov in 2013. Accepting the mandate in parliament, the socialist was appointed deputy. Interior Minister by order of the then Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski. (24 hours)
