At the moment, KPKONPI is not doing anything. The coalition partners must unite and say that they need a new leadership, said Prime Minister Kiril Petkov after taking part in the pilgrimage to Mount Okolchitsa on the occasion of Botev’s Day and those who died for the freedom and independence of Bulgaria.
Regarding the nominations for the governing bodies – this will be a long process and each of the coalition will have to nominate its own candidate, the Prime Minister explained.
Whether the power minister is suitable for the leadership of the anti-corruption commission, Petkov said: “Rashkov is fighting very well at the moment as interior minister. I personally trust him a lot. ”
“We do not have any people we want to say about the candidacies for KPKONPI. It is not good to talk to the media before it is agreed with the coalition partners “, added the Prime Minister.
Petkov said nothing would be done on the topic of PCM without parliament. “This is a decision that must be decided nationally. “Before I bring this issue to parliament, the government will not do anything without this support,” he said.
“We are always ready to talk to all our European partners if they have any suggestions that make sense. They must be in the framework position of Bulgaria. Whatever is done, I will go through the Bulgarian Parliament “, the Prime Minister is categorical.
Petkov took part in the pilgrimage to Okolchitsa peak on the occasion of the Day of Botev and those who died for the freedom and independence of Bulgaria.
“Dear Bulgarians, he who falls in the fight for freedom, he does not die. There are no more important and truer words that we can say together today to honor the memory of Hristo Botev “, said the Prime Minister at the beginning of his celebratory speech.
“There are many statesmen and rulers in human history, some of whom have betrayed the homeland. Some have adjusted to the strong of the day. And indeed few were willing to give their all in the name of their ideal. Hristo Botev did just that. His ideal was a free Bulgaria, “Petkov added.
“Russia – this alleged defender of Slavdom, it uses even more radical means to wipe out the Bulgarian colonies.” These are the words of Hristo Botev when there are problems with the Bessarabian Bulgarians in the Russian Empire “, the Prime Minister explains.
According to Petkov, Botev is a real example of a free man. And he concluded with the words: “There is no power over that head, which is ready to separate from its shoulders in the name of freedom and good of all mankind. With such sons of Bulgaria, we can all be proud to be Bulgarians. “
After the speech of the Prime Minister, applause and boos were heard.
