The dissatisfaction is entitled “The Mafia on the side of Nikola Minchev.”
“We came here because we found out that the restoration is starting. The mafia is trying to regain its state. The first step in this process is the removal of the Speaker of the National Assembly, “said one of the protesters, who said he knew Minchev personally and described him as a” consensus figure “and a” perfect lawyer. “
“This whole story that is unfolding, with parliamentary tricks that interfere with everything, really infuriates me,” said another protester.
“Thank you for this support, we continue to fight, the fight will be successful,” said Minchev, who appeared before the protesters and added that their main job is to adopt the budget update.
Prime Minister Kiril Petkov also came out in support of Minchev.
“We promise that while we are right here and we still have a pulse, we will not give Bulgaria to these mobsters!”, Said the Prime Minister. “Change has come! They can’t bring them back! You are many, we are together! They have nowhere to go! ”He added.
Protesters chanted “together”, “victory” and “Mafia out!”.
After Petkov, Minchev also spoke, who was greeted with applause. He promised:
“The next time I am in a position to hold a vote, I will not be afraid of what the choice will be. I will be sure that there will be a stable majority that will elect a stable government that will work only for Bulgaria! ”
“Thank you for being here. Never give up! Together we will succeed “, said the BSP leader Cornelia Ninova.
Toshko Yordanov, chairman of the ITN General Assembly, was called on several times to visit the protesters. They greeted him with bottles of mineral water and other objects.
There is a double cordon of police officers on the scene trying to control the situation.
“We are not afraid of elections,” Prime Minister Kiril Petkov told reporters on the sidelines of the National Assembly. “But I still have a glimmer of hope that there are a few people on the scales inside who are struggling with their fears but know the right thing to do. It would be better for Bulgaria not to have elections. 22 laws must be passed by December – that’s 12 billion. I rely a lot on the brave people, “Petkov said.
“I am talking to everyone, but I will not stop,” the prime minister continued.
“The forces of darkness made their vote, you saw how the chairman of the National Assembly was removed. A new battle is ahead. This is only the first protest, “said Daniel Laurer. “Even if the cabinet does not survive, there are 3 seats in parliamentary roulette. “Then there will be elections, and I hope that all people who want change will vote for We continue to change,” Lorer said.
