The text has no analogue in its criticism, Petar Vitanov commented.

The text of the draft resolution, voted on by the EP’s Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE), is the fruit of progressive forces on the left to reap political dividends. In no way can it be considered objective. This was stated by GERB / EPP MEP Andrey Kovachev.

In a briefing organized by the EP Bureau in Bulgaria, Andrey Kovachev stressed that the final recipients of European funds should not suffer from the fact that a government has not done its job or there is a sign of corruption. “I don’t think I can comment on the vulgar Claire Daly quotes. It is surprising the tone that some colleagues indulge in,” he said of the harsh attacks on the Bulgarian government by the Irish MEP from EOL / SZL at the previous LIBE meeting .
However, BSP MEP Petar Vitanov described the resolution as the result of a consensus between individual political families. “The tone of the draft resolution is unprecedented. There is no analog in its criticality. There is no analog in such a resolution to Bulgaria,” he said. According to

I’m back
the trust of
Europe in Bulgaria
We are no longer talking about Bulgaria as the most corrupt country in the EU, but about the Bulgarian government, said the MEP.
Ilhan Kyuchyuk of MRF / “Renew Europe” clarified that the upcoming debate in the EP on Bulgaria on Monday is not directed against Bulgarian citizens and the state, but a debate based on principles enshrined in EU treaties and secured by criminal sanctions . “Governments come and go, but we cannot undermine the authority of the country,” Kyuchyuk added of the draft resolution.
For his part, Angel Djambazki from IMRO / EKR said he did not expect the final resolution, which will be voted in plenary by the entire EP next week, to be objective at all. It is biased because it is voted on by people with political biases, the MEP commented, promising that the changes proposed by the EQF would be clarified soon. Jambzaki did not fail to mention that because the issue is important to him, he explicitly asked his colleague to exchange and the Bulgarian to give his vote in the commission. Furthermore, the colleague in question would probably abstain and Djambazki voted against it.
