/ world today news/ It is a challenge and a test for me to be the chairman of the BSP at this moment for the party. This statement was made to the media by the leader of the left, Mikhail Mikov.
Mikov continued that despite this, when he talks to people in the country he sees that it makes sense. “We will refute those who try in every possible way to suggest that the left is on its knees in Bulgaria. Most of all, people will refute them, people’s lives cannot be replaced by active events and counter disinformation,” vowed the chairman of the BSP.
Asked to comment on today’s leaked information that when Mikhail Mikov was elected chairman of the BSP he was offered a bribe by another candidate to give up the leadership position, he himself replied that there is a principle in law – “who claims- he proves”. Mikov called on those who have been stretching this story all day to come forward by name. “It is obvious that a completely planned attack on the BSP is being realized at the moment. Tales and retellings in the 3rd and 4th person are frivolous for politics. It can be a question of bribery – bribes are given to officials to carry out or not an official thing. I’m not so important as to think that the attack is only against me, it’s against the BSP,” said Mihail Mikov.
He emphasized that among the socialists there is a stratification of people who are united by one thing – they all wanted to participate in the government, “if you look at their public positions when this issue was discussed and they are still sad that we are not in the government”. BSP made a faithful decision to remain in opposition. The personal interests of one or the other cannot be above the political perspective for the party. Let these people specifically come forward and tell the facts, I will comment on them. In the process of this and other election campaigns, there have been cases in which various hints, persuasions to refuse, to participate were made to me and to other representatives of ours. This is not new. I will not comment on the specifics, because again I say whoever claims it should come out clearly and prove facts. As for private conversations that have been held, elementary education is a matter of not blowing up, circulating, hyperbolizing and retelling these conversations,” Mikov clarified his thesis. He linked the attack to the course of the party, associated with a clear left-wing profile, with political consistency and opposition, which he did not like.
Whether the BSP expects more figures in the regional structures to leave the party such as Strahil Angelov, the vice-chairman of the Left Boyko Velikov was categorical that he does not expect more people from either the regional or municipal structures to leave the party. “It is strange that it does not impress how many new members, and young ones, have joined the party in the last 6 months, which are 1234. I have no information so far that other members or entire structures have left the party, as is widely circulated,” he added.
The press conference also commented on the possible date for the local vote, indicated by the president, as the BSP spokesperson Atanas Merdzhanov denied that the president’s team had negotiated with them for the date of the local elections, as Plevneliev himself claimed. Mikov added that there is no need to waste time in negotiations, but for the president to schedule the elections. He refused to comment on the subject of the referendum during the elections before the head of state had officially submitted his proposal.
