Rosen Zhelyazkov remained with “one thing in mind”, and Toshko Yordanov – with an open door for some casting
The processes of defragmentation and political entropy in this National Assembly lead us to believe that any majority will lead to low government legitimacy. It will create an opportunity for his volatility and a prerequisite for strong puppetry. It will reduce public trust, leading to a new form of prefabdom.
Thus, although with a specific complex statement, Rosen Zhelyazkov explained to ITN and the others who went to talk to them that there was no point in this exercise. Although the news about the “secret dinner” broke on Friday, GERB went to the talks with Slavi Trifonov’s people on Saturday – as they had promised.
What is the attitude of the ITN to the participation in a majority, which aims to rearrange the home book for the president, going through the overthrow of the speaker of the National Assembly, which is agreed with the presidential institution? That was the first question Zhelyazkov opened the meeting on Saturday at noon, and he demanded to know what ITN was doing before they talked about anything.
There cannot be two parallel processes – for a regular government and for engineering for a caretaker government, he emphasized. GERB asked why, if the meeting was to form a regular cabinet, they were not invited, as they are on the list for regular meetings, and why it was made secret.
We have no desire to overthrow the Speaker of the Parliament, but to realize the third mandate, Trifonov’s people explained to them. “Relying on backroom deals cannot be a guarantee for a stable majority. We need a clear majority to follow clear priorities. Let’s put that speculation to rest. If there was something like that, it concerns other majorities – quicksand that is not needed”, Stanislav Balabanov tried to quell the tension. However, the head of their parliamentary group, Toshko Yordanov, explained that we are a free country and everyone has the right to talk to whoever they want. They held talks only for the implementation of the third mandate, but the meeting showed that there was no change in the positions – “Vazrazhdane” is against a coalition, those who declared support did not give up, and PP-DB continue to drag on with the answer for their 39 deputies.
However, Yordanov left a loophole for potential reshuffles in the leadership of the parliament – “if there was a majority for a government without you, this conversation would be on the agenda.”
On Saturday, the temporary chairman of the BSP Atanas Zafirov, who was present at the Friday conversation, explained that a change of the chairman would be logical when the parliamentary majorities change.
We came with one thing in mind today. We believe that your assurances lead us to trust that there are no attempts to change the agenda in search of another floating majority. Trust in politics is considered short-sighted, but we approach with understanding, after you said that there is no backstage, Zhelyazkov summarized the final talks on the third mandate. And the next day, Slavi Trifonov announced his return.
