I am surprised that both the Prime Minister and the Minister continue not to meet with the grain producers, not to resolve the issue and for it to escalate, GERB leader Boyko Borisov commented to journalists on the sidelines of the parliament when asked about the threat of the protesting grain producers to close the yellow pavers in the capital.
“Otherwise, Sofia is used to it, Orlov Most was closed for months. It’s not that scary, it’s just that our current non-coalition partners are not used to it,” he commented.
Kosturkov: Farmers’ protests are largely politically motivated
Everything is resolved through dialogue, in the interest of the people, the branch, the sectors, the industry, Borisov pointed out. I still haven’t heard the economic minister, the trade attachés what they are doing, it is a huge apparatus that is sitting and waiting for the parliament to make a decision, he commented.
Borisov pointed out that there are solutions, there are also very quick actions to be taken, starting with the control of what enters Bulgaria. 100, 200, 300, more people should be appointed in phytosanitary control, he added.
In response to a question, Borissov said he was ready to be a parliamentarian to make the connection between the rulers and the protesters. If they ask, we will do it, he declared.
Heavy agricultural machinery will not enter Sofia today
According to him, the grain producers are annoyed by the stories about the “maybas”. “There is certainly a dose of truth in what Denkov also says. The point is that we don’t look at the IT sector or any other sector, the cars, only theirs, and that makes an impression, that irritates them,” commented the leader of COAT OF ARMS. “A market economy – everyone has the right to do what they want after paying their taxes. Period,” he declared.
Borisov asked where the ministers of agriculture and the economy were and what they were doing when there was a problem. And I implore them, after we have pushed these buttons too, to become ministers, to become active, to go meet the people, to solve the problems, he said. If there is a legislative need for something, we are there, we will collect signatures, we will bring it in, we will decide it tomorrow, added Borisov.
Rumen Hristov: The consensus text is not a coalition agreement, as we are not a coalition
In response to a question, the GERB leader said that Prime Minister Denkov did not offer them a text for a coalition agreement. When asked what is going on with the signing of such an agreement, he commented that it is already starting to become funny for people, because there is no way they can be a more real coalition.
Asked if DPS is in the coalition, the GERB leader replied: “In practice, yes.”
