“Dear comrades, thank you for being together for all 16 years since I have been a member of the BSP. I have been in the party for 18 years and a third-generation socialist. During all this time, the BSP occupied a major part of my personal life, I gave a lot of my time and energy, but I also gained loyal companions and true friends from all over the country!
I made the difficult decision to leave – something I never imagined would happen. The reason for this is that the BSP was taken over by greedy careerists and lost its social image and causes,” Paunov wrote in defense of his decision.
Who is the young surgeon Dr. Lubomir Paunov?
Lubomir Paunov is the son of Prof. Dr. Mariana Murdjeva (current rector of the Medical University in Plovdiv) and Dr. Dimitar Paunov. In the summer of 2019, he got involved in outrageous drunken scandal – with fists, police, doctors and a seriously injured young socialist!
This happened during an official forum of socialists by the sea, and there were even suspicions of drug use, which, given the circumstances, was not proven. Then Sergey Stanishev himself was extremely displeased and annoyed by the incident.
After the drunken-drug scandal, many “reds” expected Paunov to be swept out of the party, because such “stains” have no place among the socialists. Instead, the people around the local nobleman Georgi Gergov, who then still ruled the city structure, they even tried to make Paunov an MP.
