- BNB Deputy Governor Milenkov, and after Borisov’s reaction – maybe even Nazaryan, were now in the game
- The joint position of foreign minister is hindering Glavchev, PP claims
A new casting call for the president – another episode of the search for an acting prime minister – started today. Rumen Radev once again invites people to the positions described in the constitution (the so-called home book).
Despite the previous failures to put one of them in the post, this time there could be new players in Radev’s caste.
The list includes the managements of the BNB, the Audit Chamber and the head of parliament, Raya Nazaryan. 10 days ago, only Goritza Kozhareva officially agreed, but the president rejected her cabinet because of the participation of Interior Minister Kalin Stoyanov.
Of the 10 potential candidates for Prime Minister, 2 positions are vacant, 2 have expired mandates, and with the four representatives of the BNB we have complications related to European legislationRadev said on Monday and demanded that the parliament fill the book.
At the same time, casting will probably take place, it is not clear if (and only) for “Dondukov” 2, and for the interior minister, after today GERB and Boyko Borisov personally called on Stoyanov to leave.
“Minister of the Interior with a raised fist in front of the presidency. It is not permissible!” he snapped.
What did the raised fist do – it killed the authorities and now the same has returned to Radev, added Borisov. He thus recalled how the president was the first to use this gesture in 2020 during the protests against his third cabinet and against the then chief prosecutor Ivan Geshev.
The failed Prime Minister Gorica Kozhareva acted hastily by refusing to replace Stoyanov, Borisov also commented. He was surprised and “with what sense” did she run to the chief prosecutor to implicate him as well.
“He should have submitted another name.
The state cannot become a hostage of the interior minister, whoever he is.”
cut off Borisov and reminded how he changed a bunch of interior ministers.
Until now, GERB defended Stoyanov and its leader acknowledged it. He returned again to how they were looking for professionals for the position together with Kiril Petkov, when they were making the assembly “When I talked to him, he said – I’m fine, I’m a professional, I want to serve in the BOP. However, he relented on the condition that he be a minister from PP-DB and be a minister for a long time”, said Borisov. But now appeals:
I urge and implore President Radev and Glavchev, as the current acting Prime Minister, to find a formula to remove Kalin Stoyanov, to choose an acceptable one for everyone there. We are not in a hypothesis to elect any minister, but in the fastest way to go to the elections, and colleagues to think about what we will do after the elections. He called Kalin Stoyanov a “red line” that must be drawn in order to go to the vote faster this fall.
What politicians said about Kalin Assenov on Tuesday:
I offer a hand – it is stronger than a fist, Borisov also stated.
Literally minutes before his statement, the leader of “Promyanata” Kiril Petkov called on him to stop defending the MIA chief, and then welcomed Borisov’s position. With Asen Vassilev, they declared it inadmissible for a minister to organize political protests in uniform.
“Promyanata” and DB wanted only this at the consultations with Radev – the replacement of Stoyanov. And when the “Glavchev” cabinet was appointed 4 months ago, they even left the presidency as soon as they heard that he was moving from the regular to the caretaker government.
However, the ex-partners remain separated for filling out the “home book”. The PP convened consultations in the parliament in an unsuccessful attempt to find a majority to elect a new ombudsman and deputy heads of the Audit Chamber, whose mandates have expired. GERB did not go, and Borisov interrupted:
About the tricks of our colleagues – we will not participate in such a thing, it is devoid of principles and logic. And it deprives political parties of meaning to exist. In practice, they suggest that we get together to elect an alleged ombudsman. It must be a figure, there are criteria for it. There will probably be 20 candidates, in the Audit Chamber the figures are also distant from the parties. The proposal is that we deceive the people that we are making an ombudsman or chairman of the Audit Office, when in fact we are making him a prime minister.
Again, a new twenty came from the PP – that Dimitar Glavchev, who immediately after Radev’s refusal to accept the “Kozhareva” cabinet declared his readiness to be prime minister again, actually no longer had the right.
According to Asen Vasilev, he flew out of the “home book”,
because he was also foreign minister – a high state position, which, according to the Law on the Audit Chamber, he cannot perform.
Mr. Glavchev, becoming a foreign minister and not just an acting prime minister, becomes incompatible with his position as “head of the Audit Chamber”. From then on, he was disqualified for a second term as caretaker prime minister, but that’s for the constitutionalists to saysaid the co-chairman of the PP.
Vassilev cited the proverb that “the quick bitch gives birth to the blind”, and insisted that there is time to make the changes. The people in all positions on the “home book” should be selected after fair competitions – transparently, everything should be under the spotlight. It is not a question of choosing someone whom the president then chooses as prime minister. We need an ombudsman and head of the Audit Chamber and their deputies, he stated.
ITN and MPs from Dogan’s DPS are inclined to open a procedure. “Vazrazhdane” agreed on the condition that there should be no members of the PP among the candidates, but today they boycotted the meeting. And the BSP is waiting for Radev’s decision.
“There is no obstacle for Dimitar Glavchev to return as chairman of the Audit Chamber due to his capacity as acting Prime Minister. But as for him to return from his capacity as Minister of Foreign Affairs – that is controversial”, confirmed the professor of constitutional law at VTU Assoc. Hristo Ormandzhiev. When Glavchev became prime minister in April, the Law on the Audit Chamber added that its boss could return to his post after becoming prime minister. But it is not explicitly recorded that he can also when he was a minister.
And in order to be reappointed as prime minister, Glavchev must return as
head of the palace, albeit briefly. “Formally, it can be done – with a decree to release him, so he briefly returns to his previous post, and then be reappointed. The decrees should be on the same day and one after the other so that there is no interruption of the government. A small detail, but one that needs to be thought through extremely well,” he explained.
According to people in the know, this has already been considered and Glavchev is among those invited to the president today. Among the deputy governors of the BNB, the focus was now on the head of the Banking Supervision Department, Radoslav Milenkov. The President was encouraged by the position that Boyko Borisov took today – to remove Kalin Stoyanov. And this, according to some, puts the head of the parliament Raya Nazaryan back into caste.
Borisov: As soon as he raises his fist, he cannot be the interior minister
What we saw – an interior minister with a raised fist in front of the presidency. This is not acceptable. I don’t know why he did this.
With this action, we categorically demand from GERB that he be released.
It cannot be the Home Secretary, remote, making or observing elections.
I urge and implore President Radev and Glavchev as the current acting Prime Minister to find a formula to remove Kalin Stoyanov.
Peevski: I will invite him to lead the paper if he is fired for lying
If he is fired in the most unfair way because of the lies and fabrications of the cache gang, I will personally invite him to be the leader of my list of my party. You can ask the person Kiril Petkov – he brought Kalin Stoyanov.
He was lying in a car with him and Petar Petrov in the back seat like a sandwich – Stoyanov on one side, Petrov on the other, and Kiril in the middle.
This minister is doing his job professionally, the elections were conducted very well, international organizations have no comments.
Petkov: Yes – I saw him, but he came from GERB, and he is Peevski’s man
It was proposed by GERB. It came to us from Maria Gabriel. I met in a car. But the reason is that he was proposed by GERB and I wanted to see if he could be a minister.
We saw that he was also caught with the beating of citizens, for which we asked him to resign. We wanted her many times.
All of Bulgaria became his hostage. Now we understand why – Peevski clearly keeps it straight. As soon as he chooses him as the leader of the list, when talking about Kalin Stoyanov, let’s use “Peevski’s man”.
