Former chairwoman of the parliamentary foreign policy committee Dzhema Grozdanova said she did not leave GERB to join Tsvetan Tsvetanov’s new political project “Republicans for Bulgaria”, but for many accumulated reasons.
He listed the issues that prompted his decision.
“We did not have the strength to ratify the agreement with Canada, we did not join the UN Migration Pact and the third, the Istanbul Convention, for which I have worked hard,” Gemma Grozdanova told bTV.
It was also clear from his words that after the Bulgarian EU presidency, things have changed and foreign policy has no longer been a priority in parliament. In July, he hosted an event for China, attended by five lawmakers, none of whom spoke.
Grozdanova also noted that when she left the GERB she received gratitude, but also criticism that “it was not aggressive towards the right-wing parties in the region that she leads in Sofia.” The comment came from GERB Administrative Secretary Tsvetomir Paunov.
He wanted to cooperate, not work against right-wing parties, he explained.
Grozdanova revealed that during the campaign for local elections in Sofia, Malina Edreva said that GERB needs the UDF. However, according to Grozdanova, the GERB should have a sufficient right-wing party profile to need to sew the UDF.
I support the protests. I think that the Bulgarian parliament is not legitimate enough to make decisions at this time. There must be a resignation, he added.
