Vejdi Rashidov is leaving politics, he has not yet said whether forever

Vejdi Rashidov is giving up his seat in the GERB lists in order to give way to the young gerberas. This was stated before “24 hours” the former Minister of Culture.

“First, I have been an MP for 5 terms. Second, I am 70 years old. Third, it is time to give way to the young and for them to develop. And fourth, I said: ‘Eyebrows came and Eyebrows I want to leave politics.’ “One has to know one’s limits,” he told the paper.

Rashidov was also an MP in the 45th National Assembly, and expectations were now that he would be on GERB’s Plovdiv list again. However, his place will be taken by the young gerber Pencho Malinov, who was a municipal councilor for 2 terms. “It’s time for young people to start taking their own path,” said Vezhdi Rashidov.

Asked if he was finally retiring from politics, he said he would announce further when he decided whether to do so.

Due to the catastrophe he suffered 2 weeks ago, he will not help in the GERB election campaign.

Only a month ago, Rashidov became a member of Borissov’s party, having previously been part of the civic quota. “Friends are counted in a difficult time, and the faithful. This is a sign that men must show. I have never been a member of a party in my life and for years, while GERB was in power, I did not join. But here I show and to young people how to defend causes, “said Vejdi Rashidov.

“Now I will dedicate myself more to art because politics has taken a little away from my eyebrows,” he added, explaining that he is slowly recovering from the catastrophe. He still uses a crutch or a cane to help himself walk. “The important thing is that there are no casualties. Everything else is repairable. I will get over the injuries,” said the former culture minister.
