There was no “scenario” in the handing over of the mandate. A constitutional procedure had to be followed, and it did.
Thus, the former screenwriter of the “Show of Fame”, now an MP from ITN, commented in an interview with BNT on the surprising nomination of the unknown in the political and public circles businessman Plamen Nikolov for prime minister.
According to Stanev, Nikolov was invited to be prime minister 12 days ago, and he has worked with the ITN team for over 3 years.
The name of Petar Iliev, originally nominated for justice minister in the withdrawn ITN draft cabinet, has not been discussed as prime minister now, Stanev said. He did not say categorically whether Iliev would enter the new draft cabinet, which is to be announced soon. However, it became clear from his words that this is not ruled out.
Asen Vassilev has been invited only once to the draft office of ITN, said Filip Stanev.
He commented that ITN are sincere in their relations with “Democratic Bulgaria” and expect a gentlemanly attitude. He described the right-wing unification statement read by the parliamentary rostrum as “surprising to say the least”. According to him, Hristo Ivanov should have been asked about this turn.
“In our first conversation, Mr. Ivanov, General Atanas Atanasov, categorically stated that they have no claims for specific persons for ministerial posts. They said: Let’s talk about what we will do. They did not want to know even names and definitely not “And suddenly in this declaration – we want three names from the official cabinet. Where did this come from? Invite Mr. Ivanov and ask him,” Stanev said.
