Six lawmakers leave the BSP parliamentary group after the opposition was unable to find a seat in the party’s broad leadership. The dissident MPs are Krassimir Yankov, Valeri Zhablyanov, Nikolay Ivanov, Lalo Kirilov, Georgi Andreev and Dimitar Stoyanov.
The six stood together on the sidelines of parliament to announce the decision. Five of them leave the party and Zhalblyanov will keep his party card. The BSP parliamentary group is left with 72 deputies.
“The constant change in the ideological image of the party has led to a lack of identification,” Krassimir Yankov said.
Krassimir Yankov and Valeri Zhablyanov were competing with Cornelia Ninova for the leadership position, but they got a very small share of the vote. After the secret vote for the members of the Plenary of the BSP on Saturday evening, other famous people like Sergei Stanishev, Georgi Pirinski, Dimitar Dabov withdrew.
“We are ending our membership in the BSP, but we remain socialists,” Yankov said. According to him, the transformation of the BSP has taken on a complete look, which has been modeled by Ninova in the last four years.
“She and her entourage call this a reform and modernization of the party. In our definition, this is a complete subordination of the BSP to the unipersonal government, which is ensured by the new composition of the National Council,” explained the former BSP deputy.
He criticized the separation with significant names because other “significant” people remained in the Plenary of the BSP, so that the society no longer recognized the BSP as a socialist party.
“The supreme body of the BSP is made up of two personal entourages: that of Cornelia Ninova and that of Kiril Dobrev. That Ninova does not want a National Council elected by the party, but one whose majority is selected by him, has clear evidence with the last three plenary sessions, sabotaged at his command, “added Yankov.
Valeri Zhablyanov, who is still a member of the BSP, commented that there is an attempt to turn it into a right-wing party.
“I am not going to leave the BSP because the party leadership has left it with its policy, I am still a member,” he said, adding that the BSP’s attempt to become a right-wing party is a real threat to democracy.
