We have a deepening problem with the functioning of democracy and it is generated at the highest level – the National Assembly. President Rumen Radev commented on this.
“The fact that you are in power and have a majority does not give you the right to do whatever you want, to defiantly trample on any rules, including the Constitution of Bulgaria itself,” he declared.
“One of the main principles on which this state is built is the supremacy of the basic law – the Constitution. The way in which it was changed and in which it was brutally trampled only a month after these changes reveals an alarming syndrome that is increasingly taking over the work of the National Assembly and is being transferred to other institutions,” he further explained.
“Some people are still hurt that during the caretaker governments appointed by me, they could not play out their schemes. At that time, large-scale abuses were not allowed, as we are used to seeing at the time of other governments,” said Rumen Radev.
He also commented on the “pawns”, which GERB leader Boyko Borisov hinted about earlier in the day. “According to the Constitution, which was changed recently, I was obliged to comply with it and to appoint ministers by my decree,” said the president, bTV reported.
“The problem is that it doesn’t matter at all who the ministers will be, given that the government serves all kinds of other interests, but not those of the Bulgarian citizens. Who is the Minister of the Interior?! Everyone denies and says – it’s not mine, it’s not mine. They appoint these people, don’t they?! Let them stand clearly behind which minister belongs to whom and who bears the responsibility. We currently have a problem with management responsibility,” the head of state also pointed out.
