The decision to disband the National Operational Headquarters, which was announced late last night by the press center of the Council of Ministers, provoked violent reactions among MPs and the appearance of the resigned Minister of Health Prof. Kostadin Angelov in the plenary hall.
Declarations were read from the parliamentary rostrum condemning the decision and declaring it irresponsible.
“I think this is irresponsible as behavior, because the government, although resigned, must continue to work. We currently have a medical crisis that has been going on for a year, and crisis management requires that we have effective bodies to manage this process.with “, said on behalf of” Democratic Bulgaria “Dr. Alexander Simidchiev.
Maya Manolova, chairwoman of the “Stand Up!” .
“Obviously, Borissov is carrying out a criminal action against Bulgarian citizens and patients, acting on the principle of ‘after me and the flood,'” she said.
In the declaration, Manolova pointed out that Bulgarian citizens want to know why Bulgaria has become a champion in mortality. According to her, the statistics are alarming, as the total number of deaths in 2020 is over 18 thousand people, of which only 7756 are registered with COVID-19. and analysis of the causes and action plan, said Maya Manolova, after which she pointed out that in terms of total mortality rate our country ranks first in the world.
The closing of NIGHT at this moment is absolutely unmotivated, irresponsible, a kind of abdication, commented the MRF.
According to Dzhevdet Chakarov, in this way we lose control of the pandemic and at the same time no motives are specified. The MP pointed out that adequate measures are needed and there should be such an operational body.
Nothing is offered at the headquarters, but security and peace must be brought, Chakarov stressed and asked how the pandemic action will be coordinated until a new government is formed.
Responsibility for the policy in the healthcare system lies with the Minister of Health and the Council of Ministers, all other bodies have auxiliary functions, answered Daniela Daritkova from GERB.
It is the responsibility of the Speaker of the National Assembly to ensure compliance with the anti-epidemic measures in this hall, she insisted. There is no possibility for distance here, people without masks are allowed in violation of the anti-epidemic rules in front of the Bulgarian citizens, Daritkova justified.
A little later, the resigned Minister of Health, Prof. Kostadin Angelov, appeared in the plenary hall. As he ascended the rostrum, deputies shouted “Resign!”. She resigned, the Minister of Health replied.
“You burned masks and said there was no virus, you are now concerned about people’s health. The National Operations Staff was made up of decent people, Gen. Mutafchiiski is a worthy Bulgarian doctor, capable of responsibility and making difficult decisions. When we see the end of the third wave, it is very easy to read declarations from the parliamentary rostrum and where you were when the hospitals had no air in the second wave.“, he addressed the deputies and made a remark to the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly Tatiana Doncheva that she had put on her mask incorrectly, and to the MP from “Stand up! Get out” Nikolay Hadjigenov that he was standing without a mask in the hall.
Prof. Angelov stressed that some of the MPs went to the hospital wards to take pictures, but the doctors remember well who helped them – he gave them a decent salary, masks and disinfectants.
During this time, Hadjigenov shouted from the hall: “Mutri” and “You ruled for 12 years.”
“Governance requires something very important – the coronary crisis is the most important thing facing the Bulgarian people as a test and similar type of statements that call into question the trust in institutions and doctors will not lead to anything good. Yesterday you said many times that “Unity makes strength, but you prove otherwise. And if I, as a doctor, am used to working in a team, I know that only teamwork can save the patient. Prove that the people in this room are up to saving Bulgaria,” insisted Prof. Ангелов.
Behaving like a sanitary inspector and monitoring which deputies and which are not, does not befit a minister. Some deputies sit all the time, resembling Boyko Borissov “, commented Arman Babikyan from” Stand up! ” Mutri out. “
