I accept the decision of the Constitutional Court in my case and I am ready to take responsibility and all that follows by law. The punishment is one a fine you will pay. This was commented by the former Minister of Economy Kiril Petkov on the occasion of the decision of the Constitutional Court on his citizenship before bTV.
Will he apologize – Petkov explained “an incident”. I will return a few months before the ministerial position. I had the incredible chance to be invited by the president Rumen Radev on one travel to China, where Boyko Borissov had denied the opportunity for ministers to go on this trip.
I got there because I had opened the innovation center at Sofia University and I went to represent him. There we talked to him on all topics – for the pensioners, for the billions stolen from the National Health Insurance Fund, why the successes of the Bulgarian children fall in Pisa, why there is no Hemus highway. We had common visions that steal an awful lot and our people run these things.

Litigation could arise over some of the acts, not so much for legal as for political reasons

He said, Cyril, we have common visions, the question is do you care to jump against the mafia, which has spread to every part of Bulgaria. The question here is whether I want to be Kiril Petkov, who will jump for part of the change, or whether business and family are more important to him. Here came the moment when I decided to jump.
I went to the notary and signed my will, I sent all the documents to Canada, I sent a passport, a booklet, a health card and called my father – who said he had given me peace of mind to be a citizen of the world, I did not hesitate, I gave up, I paid and I did not feel that something was wrong, I believe that I have complied with all the requirements of the Constitution and real at the moment I don’t feel morally guilty, Petkov told the whole story.
He is categorical that he does not feel moral guilt.

The idea was that the people who would govern should be fully committed to the national cause

The provision of The citizenship constitution needs to be changed, so that these 2 million outside Bulgaria do not go through this horror film, Kiril Petkov thinks. That’s what they were for agree and other parties. He also commented: the Constitutional Court said that the administrative note is more important than the will of a citizen, this must change.
My least problem is whether I will get my salaries back as a minister. I wondered if I should return the acts to a minister. Whoever stands behind the return of these acts, if politicians protect the thieves from the BDB and the money from the dams, these are puppets and mobsters standing behind, he believes.
Who are the people who want the acts to be returned, what is their motivation, this motivates me a lot, Kiril Petkov is categorical. But still, if the court asked for his salaries back, he said: I would gladly return them… five times, he said. With your business I made a lot more money, Petkov added.
It is insane that when the Magnitsky and Pandora scandals came out, Delyan Peevski headed the MRF list in Veliko Tarnovo. Not a single vote should go to this man in the former capital of Bulgaria, Petkov commented. Then he explained that after the decision of the Constitutional Court he heard from Rumen Radev and thanked himand the president told him that accepts the decision, but is happy to have more ministers like him.
