Bulgaria's place is not to be a Russian republic. And if we do not oppose it today, the people will pay the price.
Today, in his despair and helplessness, Rumen Radev revealed his true face. A self-forgotten ruler who desperately defends his trusted circle of oligarchs and above all himself. After eight years in which Radev appropriated disproportionate power, trampling on the Constitution, two mandates in which all heads of departments were under his control, three years in which he ruled alone through his puppet governments, today he once again claimed all power for himself and the state, at the service of him and his trusted circle.
Good morning, Radnevo...
Radev's self-forgetfulness pushed him to blatant interference not just in the political system, but in gross and brutal interference in the electoral process. Once, subordinating the CEC and today - trying to suppress all parties participating in the elections.
Europe sees this, without any doubt. And there is no argument by which Europe and our Euro-Atlantic partners can be convinced that this is for the good of democracy.
Because Europe does not allow self-forgotten figures to control the institutions and the parties and brandish threats and coercion, providing an umbrella and protection for themselves and their close oligarchic circle.
Radev's game is clear - he defends himself and is ready to hand over the state to Moscow, in the name of his own and his close circle of oligarchs' wellbeing. Radev cannot accept the rules of democracy because he himself is inherently incompatible with them.
Why are all politicians silent when they see what he is doing to the country? Why is he allowed to acquire parties, factions or individual leaders ready to do anything to save their own skins. Why does everyone seem to be kneeling before Radev!?
Bulgaria's place is not to be a Russian republic!
And if we do not oppose this today, the entire political class will pay the price, but especially the people of Bulgaria.
Because of this, we will not allow Radev to stop the New Beginning and he will not put us under his control. Neither to threaten nor to humiliate.
I am the only opponent of his advance as a conduit of Russia and Moscow, and I will not give up.
Because the people must know the truth - all services, through the heads appointed by him, are subordinate to Radev. Eight years now. And he is responsible for all the unsolved corruption scandals for which reports and evidence were submitted.
Why has the "robbery of the century" - the bankruptcy of KTB - not been revealed? Why hasn't Tsvetan Vassilev been convicted, who stole 5 billion from Bulgarian taxpayers?! Why is Radev silent all these years?!
And today he comes out with frivolous words to call whom!? And for what!?
To fight the status quo!? The status quo is him - Mr. Cash-Radev.
The man who subjugated and humiliated in the most brutal way the security services, the governments of Bulgaria, the chief prosecutor, the head of CACIAF, and today in an attempt to subjugate all political leaders, treating them humiliatingly, ignoring even the basic rulea of democracy - to be appointed and elected by their party members and supporters.
The man who once again trampled on the Constitution in order to secure an interior minister convenient for him and his oligarchs, ignored the decree on the appointment of a caretaker prime minister, brazenly postponed the date of the elections and is now pressuring the CEC and wants to directly interfere in the election process.
But, I have a special message for him - there is no point in his associatess to reach to me, nor in trying to provide him with an emergency exit from the situation, because one thing must be clear - nothing will stop me from taking off his mask as well, so , as I have promised that I will deal with anyone who goes against the national interest of our country.
Don't waste your time. I will be next people, I will work with the people, I will be with the people.
