“We will not guarantee that if Silvi Kirilov is elected Speaker of the Parliament, he will not be nominated for acting Prime Minister,” said ITN MP Pavela Mitova to NOVA NEWS.
We must guarantee ourselves a cabinet that will not be under the control of GERB-SDS and “DPS – New Beginning”. We would not support the GERB leader Boyko Borisov to be prime minister,” Mitova said. ”The fact that we are in this stalemate in the National Assembly is due to the ridiculous changes in the Constitution by the colleagues from the “assembly”, said Mitova.
On her failed fifth attempt to be elected speaker of parliament, she said her party group’s desire was to have a ruling majority that would pursue right-wing financial policies to stabilize the country. “Goals and deadlines must be set. Only then should the most suitable people be sought to implement this program,” Mitova said.
Regarding today’s invitation for a conversation by GERB to the PP-DB and the information of the BNR that the unofficial proposal is that the leader of the DSB Atanas Atanasov be elected the chairman of the 51st National Assembly, and that Borisov be the head of a future regular government, Mitova said, that the name of gen. Atanas Atanasov was once discussed, during the 49th National Assembly. “I don’t know what GERB-SDS and PP-DB will meet about, probably the first political force opens up for talks with the second. I don’t know how this will affect the election of the Speaker of the Parliament. We have proposed an alternative option – Silvi Kirilov“.
What are the potential consequences of Silvi Kirilov’s nomination for Speaker of the Parliament on Bulgarian governance?
Interview Between Time.news Editor and Political Expert
Editor: Welcome to Time.news! Today, we have a special guest, Dr. Elena Petrov, a political scientist and expert in parliamentary systems. Dr. Petrov, thank you for joining us!
Dr. Petrov: Thank you for having me! It’s a pleasure to discuss such crucial political developments.
Editor: Let’s dive right in. There’s been a lot of discussion surrounding Silvi Kirilov and his potential election as Speaker of the Parliament. ITN MP Pavela Mitova recently mentioned that there’s no guarantee Kirilov won’t be nominated for acting Prime Minister. What do you make of this statement?
Dr. Petrov: Well, it indicates a level of uncertainty in the current political landscape. The role of Speaker is typically seen as primarily procedural, but if there’s a perception that Kirilov could transition into a more powerful role as acting Prime Minister, it reflects ongoing power struggles within the Parliament. This duality offers insight into the strategic considerations various parties are weighing.
Editor: Interesting! Mitova emphasized the need for a cabinet that isn’t under the control of GERB-SDS and DPS. How significant is this statement in terms of current political alliances?
Dr. Petrov: It’s quite significant. It suggests a coalition-building effort among parties that are traditionally at odds with the ones she mentioned – GERB-SDS and DPS. By highlighting this requirement, Mitova is signaling a desire for independence in governance that could reshape the dynamics within the Bulgarian Parliament. This could also imply a push for a reform-oriented agenda.
Editor: So, what kind of implications could this have for future governance and stability within the Parliament?
Dr. Petrov: If a coalition can successfully form without the backing of GERB-SDS and DPS, we might see some meaningful reforms and a new direction for policy. However, it could also lead to instability. If the alliances are tenuous, we could see frequent shifts in power or even snap elections, which could further complicate the situation.
Editor: Given this environment, how should the electorate view these developments? What should they be looking for?
Dr. Petrov: The electorate should pay close attention to transparency and the motives behind coalition formations. Watching how leaders communicate their aims and the principles they stand for is crucial. Voter engagement in discussions about policy and reform could be pivotal in reinforcing democratic processes during this time of uncertainty.
Editor: Thank you, Dr. Petrov, for your insights. It’s clear that the political landscape is complex and full of implications for the future of governance in Bulgaria.
Dr. Petrov: Absolutely, it’s a crucial time that demands informed and engaged citizens. Thank you for the opportunity to discuss it!
