Thus, the municipal councilors didn’t vote on the proposals for dismantling the monument. Earlier than the vote, a break was proposed, and after it, solely 25, as an alternative of the required 31, municipal councilors appeared within the corridor. The Chairman of the Metropolitan Municipal Council, Andrey Ivanov, declared the session pointless. The dearth of a quorum was as a result of absence of the councilors from BSP and GERB.
Through the assembly, municipal councilor from DSB Greta Stefanova acknowledged that the issue with the monument is of nationwide significance and isn’t solely an issue of Sofia. She acknowledged that she has acquired many SMSes from all around the nation. Her proposal is that the Municipal Council suggest to the Mayor of Sofia to make clear the authorized standing of the monument inside per week. Then to dismantle the monument within the Future Museum of Totalitarian Artwork.
The municipal councilor Angel Jambazki identified that it’s primarily a query of the identification of the Bulgarians. “After we speak about dismantling this monument, there are not less than two extra that have to be dismantled,” he mentioned. One is the one of many American pilots in entrance of the American embassy, and the opposite – the one in entrance of the Nationwide Palace of Tradition – “so long as it did not fall on somebody’s head”, argues Jambazki.
The monument is public state property and there are not any authorized obstacles to its dismantling, it turned clear from the phrases of Stefan Ivanov from the SDS.
