“Prof. Asen Baltov is a great doctor. I’ve known him for a long time. It is no coincidence that the whole team of “Pirogov” stood behind him. We should not treat quality staff in this way. Its removal is a legal and moral disgrace. ” This was stated in the program “Drive straight” by Prof. Ognyan Gerdjikov, former Speaker of the National Assembly and former caretaker Prime Minister.
He also commented on the case surrounding the nomination of Nikolay Vassilev as prime minister.
“He is an extremely hard-working man with a clear vision. I respect him and regret that he was “used”. What Slavi Trifonov did with Vassilev is, to say the least, unusual. I do not know of any such case in our political history. This is not the way a government should be formed. Negotiations and talks with other political forces are wanted, “explained Prof. Gerdjikov.
And he predicts that if a cabinet is formed now, he will not have a long life. “I would be very surprised if he endures his term,” the professor added.
“Until now, we have not had so little support in the National Assembly for any government. This is a precedent. If ITNs are left with 65 deputies, do they realize how vulnerable they are. With any tension in the parliament, they can be blamed “, commented Prof. Gerdjikov.

According to him, Bulgaria needs a stable government. “If we have elections again, the people will get more. Then there will be presidential elections. In two months we will be in front of the ballot boxes. We see how much turnout has fallen. The machines scared a lot of people. It’s not complicated, but the older ones are afraid, “Gerdjikov explained.
According to him, Slavi Trifonov must find a way to the protest parties, because he cannot pursue any other policy. “Such a huge self-confidence of 65 deputies is strange,” Gerdjikov said.

According to him, political life will not be easy in the coming months. Gerdjikov described the management of the current caretaker government as extremely high quality.
Gerdjikov also commented on the decision of the Minister of Justice Yanaki Stoilov to propose that Ivan Geshev be removed from office.
“This will not happen. How do you imagine the SJC, which elected him 2 years ago with a very serious majority, now two years later, to vote to remove him. I do not see what he has done to get there.” the professor concluded.
