- The creator of the “Historical Park” kept his deputies locked in a barn for 4 hours
- There are now 17 independents – more than ITN and only 1 less than BSP
Five of the 6 women in Velichie’s parliamentary group left it just three weeks after their debut in parliament. Together with them – and their colleague Pavlin Petrov, and so the 7th formation in this National Assembly disintegrated, because it remained with 7 people, and the minimum for forming a group is 10 deputies.
Early this morning, the six successively submitted their decisions to leave the group to the registry office. The first was Krasimira Katincharova, followed by Yuliana Mateeva, Pavlin Petrov, Irena Neginova, Larisa Savova and Rositsa Kalinova. The ladies are said to be related to the creator of the “Historical Park” near Vetrino, Ivelin Mihailov. He and the head of the former PG Nikolay Markov were the faces of the “Velichie” campaign, which surprisingly attracted nearly 100,000 votes. But the discord between them started shortly after the first parliamentary bell.
Mihailov also became famous with his statement that as a divorced man he can have 365 wives – one for each day of the year, this will fight the demographic crisis.
The sixth lady in the group is the party builder Viktoria Vasileva, who 3 years ago helped create ITN. Both then and now she was elected deputy head of the parliament, but with the collapse of the PG of Velichie, she lost her post.
Now the 13 elected with the “Velichie” lists become independent MPs together with Kaloyan Metodiev (BSP) and Aysel Rufad, Ramadan Atalai and Ceyhan Ibryamov (DPS). Thus, this “group” swelled to 17, which is one more than the people of “There is such a people” and one less than the elected representatives of the BSP.
There are several main problems that caused us this tension and gave rise to mistrust. We start with the delays on the part of our chairman Nikolay Markov, for which we never received an explanation. We have learned from the media that we have been offered blank cheques. I assure you this has never happened to any of us. The lack of clarity on this issue also gave rise to mistrust. The subsequent rule committee vote, which occurred at the direction of management, further strained relationsexplained Krasimira Katincharova.
They did not know that Nikolay Markov would demand a public apology on behalf of the entire PG from the ideologue Mihailov because of his accusation that they voted with GERB and DPS in the election of the Speaker of the Parliament. Nor did he tell them how he was going to tell Rumen Radev that Velichie wanted a 3rd term in order to propose an expert cabinet.
Mihailov himself predicted the split of Velichie two weeks ago. And before closing their group, the participants revealed new disturbing details of their party life.
After the vote for head of the parliament, Ivelin Mihailov locked some of the deputies in the barn of his house and kept them there for 4 hours, Nikolay Markov said.
As the head of the group, he went to save them, explained to Mihailov that this is punishable by 6 to 10 years in prison. Since then he calls us traitors and calls for people to kill usadded Markov to bTV.
MP Darin Georgiev also confirmed the incident. The former ranger was in the barn to protect his colleagues, inside they were arguing about why Raya Nazaryan was supported as the head of the National Assembly. This is the end of the Velichie political party, confirmed Georgiev.
A day earlier, deputies loyal to Mihailov had demanded that Nikolay Markov and Viktoria Vasileva resign as head of the group and deputy head of the parliament, respectively. And the news of Vasileva stepping down from the presidential podium was greeted with joy by her former party members from ITN.
