Former acting Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Stefan Yanev commented on the withdrawal of the candidate of “We continue the change” for BNB Governor – Andrei Gyurov. “This is an illustration of how the coalition works, or rather does not work,” he said, adding that there is inconsistency in actions and messages because decisions are not generated in the interests of the Bulgarian people. Yanev explained why he remained in the regular government after previously serving as prime minister.
“At the end of last year, I saw that the war in Ukraine would happen and I thought that I would be useful with my actions in this area. In the end, it became clear that some words taken out of context were reason enough for me resignation will be demanded, “he said on the show” Focus with Lora Krumova “on Nova TV.
According to him, the war in Ukraine has generated tensions that have existed for many years between the two warring states. Signs of it have been seen since 2007 after a speech by Russian President Vladimir Putin to the Munich Security Conference.
“Currently, Bulgaria is not threatened purely militarily. We are threatened by economic and social consequences,” the ex-prime minister said. He also commented on the statements of the Russian Ambassador to Bulgaria Eleonora Mitrofanova, saying that to some extent they left an impression on people that she interfered in the internal affairs of your country, but stressed that other ambassadors over the years have done so.
“Declaring her a persona non grata would be a mistake, because it would close diplomatic relations with Russia, and the war will end someday and Bulgaria will need to develop its bilateral relations with all countries,” Stefan Yanev added.
