Rumen Radev and Iliana Yotova enter the presidency for the beginning of their second term. Through him, the head of state took an adviser from his deputy.
–
President Rumen Radev has had three new advisers since the end of last week, according to the institution’s website.
Former Red MP and spokesman for Stefan Yanev’s cabinets – Anton Kutev, will advise the head of state on parliamentary issues.
Kutev is one of the sharpest critics of the BSP leader Cornelia Ninova
After the parliamentary elections in November, when the BSP remained the fourth force, he demanded the resignation of the leader. This provoked a sharp reaction on her part against the caretaker government and Radev on the eve of the run-off in the presidential election. As a result, Kutev resigned, but it was not accepted and he remained in office until the end of the term of the Yanev 2 cabinet, albeit without making it public.
In February this year, Kutev left the BSP National Council after the plenum imposed a sentence and removed Kaloyan Pargov from the post of head of the party organization in Sofia.
Kutev was also a municipal councilor in Sofia.
Dimitar Zdravkov it happens advisor on innovation
of the head of state. Prior to that, he was on the team of Vice President Iliana Yotova as a member of the Bulgarian Citizenship Commission. He is a specialist in macroeconomics and is currently a PhD student in political economy at the University of National and World Economy. Prior to joining the presidency administration, he held various positions in the Ministry of Education and Science.
In 2018, Zdravkov married Desislava Radeva’s associate at Dondukov 2 Niya Mantovska, and the president and his wife became their godparents.
Radev’s third new adviser is Maria Yurukova, who will be in charge of domestic policy and civil society. She graduated in European Studies and European Projects at Sofia University and Political Science in Belgium. She has worked on European and international projects in the non-governmental sector and as a coordinator of research projects in the field of social and European research.
