I could not enter into the realm of speculation. Navalny was a political prisoner, no doubt Russia is an authoritarian regime. This was commented by MEP and former Prime Minister Sergey Stanishev in the program “Panorama” on BNT.
“This is a good reminder for the Bulgarian people, because we have moved in the last 30 years in a European direction. The political responsibility that an oppositionist dies in difficult conditions lies with the authorities. In my opinion, the problem was solved for the authorities by removing him far from Russia,” he said he.
My position is consistent – at the beginning of the war I said that Russia started aggression, but there are no innocents in this war. After the war started, I was looking for an explanation of why it started, I saw a press conference about the Minsk agreements. There were constant provocations by Zelensky. The EU and NATO were obliged to help a country that was attacked. To date, we do not know how many Ukrainians and Russians have died, Stanishev said.
According to him, if the dead are hundreds of thousands, the wounded are over a million. All the supplies we provide cannot balance the forces, he further commented.
Everyone talks about the victory of Ukraine, but no one says what the price of this victory is, commented Stanishev.
Transitions are not imminent, they happen. Urgent action is needed, the green deal is needed, but it will not be successful if it does not guarantee people’s security, their income. He commented on this on the occasion of the conference on Friday on the topic “The cost of the personal transition – green, digital, demographic”.
Transitions change not only the economy, but also human relationships. The AI transition is happening, he said.
According to Stanishev, it is the job of politicians to ensure that Bulgaria avoids risks and moves forward.
We need to unite the left-center forces, to stand on a solid platform, but I do not see any change in this suicidal policy of cutting off heads, said Stanishev.
