The leader of the civic platform “Stand Up Bulgaria”, Maya Manolova, said that she made a serious mistake when voting in 2013 for the MRF deputy, Delyan Peevski, as president of the State Agency for National Security.

At that time, Manolova was a BSP deputy. Hours after the unexpected, non-transparent and unmotivated election of the MRF deputy for the responsible position, spontaneous civil protests broke out, which did not allow Peevski to remain in his office for more than 24 hours. At the time, he was in charge of Oresharski’s cabinet, backed by BSP and MRF.

Today, Manolova reiterated that when, in response to the question “Who proposed Peevski”, she answered that it was her, she used sarcasm, which from the current point of view seems inappropriate. “For a hundred days, people asked who, and politicians snooped, spun like clay in the studios. And I said, ‘Yes, I suggested it.’ At the same time, he tried to link his departure from the BSP due to his promotion to the Ombudsman’s Office precisely with the realization of this political error of disobeying “his conscience, but the decision of the party.” “I realized that you should not take the blame of another person and it is not worth being in a match if it costs you a commitment to conscience,” Manolova explained today about the change in his political career.

Even today, however, Manolova still believes that GERB is at the bottom of the “Kostinbrod affair”. This is his signal to the Attorney General’s Office in the day of reflection prior to the elections that false ballots were being printed in a printing house owned by a member of the GERB. The GERB did not obtain a majority in the elections, Oresharski’s cabinet, supported by BSP and MRF, came to power. Subsequently, the violations were never proven and the charges of the prosecution fell in court.

When asked to comment on her photo in the office of Gaming Chief Vasil Bozhkov, who is currently in hiding in Dubai, but in 2019, when the photo was taken, was successfully developing her business in Bulgaria, Manolova acknowledged herself in the picture, but said yes. he went to Bozhkov at his invitation to see “who he was up against” and not to seek financial or other support. He added that before the 2019 local elections, Prime Minister Boyko Borissov had sent him into the “Sofia underground” asking him if he would run for mayor of Sofia and threatening to “break his head.” When asked about people’s names, Manolova said she would tell them in time.

On the occasion of the unification of “Stand Up.bg” with the “Poison Trio” for joint participation in the next parliamentary elections, Manolova said that she would run for parliament. Political consultations will begin next week on which political party will become the mandate holder of the new union.
