The most important thing now is to overthrow an authoritarian leader who has forgotten himself and in the name of this objective we must unite all our efforts. There is a debate in Bulgaria about whether March 28 is not too early for the elections; I think March 28 is a late date. There should have been an interim government long ago and Boyko Borissov should be gone.
This was stated by MEP Elena Yoncheva from the group of Socialists and Democrats, in front of the journalist Lili Marinkova on TV1.
I invite the ruling party to the European Parliament again, they did not like their first responses
The meeting is December 17
Yoncheva insists that parliamentary elections must be held on the earliest possible date allowed by the constitution. There is no guarantee when the situation with the crisis caused by COVID-19 will be more serious, on March 28 or May 28, he added. Р
She believes that President Rumen Radev will decide what date to specify in his decree, which he prepares for January 2021.
It was difficult to understand in Brussels when I spoke a year ago about the situation in Bulgaria, he said. The reaction in the European Parliament is: give us information, but in the end it is responsibility of all Bulgarian citizens if they will continue to support Boyko Borissov, even in the next elections.
I ask if he regrets becoming a politician, Boyko Borissov’s most serious opponent Elena Yoncheva said: “I realized that this is a battleBecause I’m a man who goes to battle I have always done it as a journalist. But I thought that my work in journalism, going to places with conflicts and wars, was risky, and in politics the efforts would go in another direction. It turns out that you run the greatest risk in politics if you really want to fight a serious battle.“Yoncheva said.
According to her, to be successful in the cause she defends, it is necessary to have the support of a strong political party and strong supporters. Otherwise this battle becomes pointless.
In Brussels, Elena Yoncheva is the only Bulgarian representative in the European Parliament’s democracy monitoring group. It includes only 14 MEPs.
The situation in Bulgaria has been the subject of a study by the group since the summer of 2020. On August 28, Prime Minister Boyko Borissov was to be heard, but did not appear. Something that no prime minister could afford beforeElena Yoncheva commented.
He recalled that the monitoring group had heard from the Prime Minister of Malta, Joseph Muscat, as well as the Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico.
Boyko Borissov sent Deputy Prime Minister Ekaterina Zaharieva and other representatives of Bulgarian institutions to answer questions from MEPs. Your hearing was unsatisfactory and therefore additional written questions were received in Bulgaria.
The monitoring group is not satisfied with the responses of the Bulgarian representatives and invites them again to the next meeting on December 17, Elena Yoncheva said.
We remind you that MEPs Elena Yoncheva (BSP / PES) and Radan Kanev (DB / EPP) provoked a debate in the European Parliament. The two presented a joint request, with the support of 55 MEPs, for the institutional crisis in Bulgaria to be debated in the European Parliament.
The debate in the plenary room of the European Parliament on the rule of law in Bulgaria was scheduled for October. On October 8, the EP passed a resolution on the rule of law in Bulgaria. After the resolution, Yoncheva hopes that a mechanism will help us.
Also on 8 October, Bulgarian MEP Elena Yoncheva was elected a member of the European Parliament’s Follow-up Group on Democracy, Fundamental Rights and the Rule of Law.
