MEP Andrei Novakov tried to escape an uncomfortable question from the presenter of the bTV morning block Anton Hekimyan about the so-called Barcelona house and the scandalous recordings with a voice very similar to that of Prime Minister Borissov, with attacks on the television station where he was invited. .
“I don’t have a car or headphones in front of me,” Novakov said, implying that someone else was telling Hekimyan what to ask.
However, the presenter immediately showed what was written on the car. There, the inscription read “Angel Kunchev – studio” – the next guest on the show.
“You suggest to me that something was written on the car. I don’t see what is written on the car, see?” Hekimyan asked and asked to read the text twice. Something Novakov did not do, but the audience saw the text.
This seriously confused the ambitious young politician, who tried to explain that he was not referring to the television host.
“But why did you decide that it applied to you?” He said.
“We’re both talking,” Hekimyan replied, and Novakov explained that he meant that he had nowhere to read and that he knew nothing else.
According to him, there were protests across Europe, and Borisov’s authority was not affected despite a series of negative posts against his government in well-known Western publications.
“It creates a feeling that reminds me of a historical reflection from the end of the last century – it is that outside of Sofia the older brother is sitting down. Let’s see if he encourages us or punishes us depending on whether we have been obedient or not.” have the self-confidence of a full member of the EU and you cannot present a very routine meeting of the Committee on Rights and Freedoms as an audience in which you called someone to scold him, “Novakov said on the occasion of the meeting of yesterday in the LIBE committee of the European Parliament.
EU commissioners regularly come to the EP and participate in meetings on all kinds of issues, he added.
Novakov announced that Bulgaria is not the first country to be discussed in the commission, nor would it be the last. According to him, it is very important to clearly name the political affiliations of MEPs who criticize Bulgaria.
“You cannot call a routine European meeting, such as a meeting to criticize our country,” Novakov insisted.
He also commented on the comparisons of the Borisov regime with that of the Belarusian dictator Lukashenko.
“The claim that a person who went to the protests run out of water and bread and deprived of fundamental rights and freedoms, in my opinion, does not help the protests, because I see many of my colleagues in the protests, with whom I speak constantly and I believe that they have their reasonable demands and we listen to them. What kind of dictatorship is it that not only allows but also encourages people to come out and protest, to express their opinion wherever and whenever they want, ”he said. Novakov and presenter Anton Hekimyan replied that there are also protests in Belarus.
Regarding the information that Donald Tusk has rejected support for Prime Minister Boyko Borissov, who would express himself in the position of the EPP, Novakov announced that they did not seek help and were unaware of such initiative.
“Tusk didn’t compare Borissov to a dictator. I don’t know if anyone asked for support. I don’t remember that we were going to ask for protection and someone to protect us,” he said.
