Bulgaria: Tensions between GERB and WCC-DB

"Nobody doubts that there will be no rotation, right?" This was stated by GERB leader Boyko Borissov on the sidelines of parliament regarding the disagreements with the WCC-DB. According to him, they are doing everything "which is on the record" - changing personnel in ministries, agencies, regulators and "appointing their own people everywhere".

Borissov stated that a joint management agreement should be signed.

He added that he will not overthrow the government, despite the disagreements.

"We are in no way pushing the country to war. The entire democratic world is helping Ukraine in whatever way it can. From the first day of the war, Bulgaria exported a huge amount of weapons to Ukraine". Borissov said this in response to President Radev's words that the government is pushing the country closer to war.

"The difference between the production, commercial price and the delivery is twofold. Someone is exporting weapons all the time, and at the same time some commission agents are raking in 40% to 100% profits," said Borissov.

He commented that he had met Lena Borislavova, and in his words he understood the true intentions of "We Coninue the Change" - "to rule the state alone, as well as the parliament, the legislative power, the regulatory bodies. With 63 deputies, everything that can be commanded."

Borissov also said that they have disagreements about the management of the Bulgarian National Bank (BNB). GERB are in favor of Dimitar Radev remaining in his post, while, according to him, WCC have other proposals.
