TOMISLAV DONCHEV
According to the deputy prime minister, from the point of view of party logic, leaving the cabinet only brings harm
“The endless expansion of the issue of ‘constitutional changes’ will make the procedure virtually impossible,” Deputy Prime Minister Tomislav Donchev told BNR.
“When we talk about writing a Constitution, this is not writing a verse, an individual work, an author’s work,” he said in the program “Before everything.”
As a framework and political direction, the original text that was proposed meets the expectations of the people in the squares, said Donchev, who recalled that if the process is completed, the actual texts will be drawn up by the Grand National Assembly.
The great issue “beyond the conjunctural political passions”, according to Tomislav Donchev, is the feeling of lack of justice and the accumulated mistrust towards institutions. The issue of changes to the Constitution should focus on the framework: more justice, better political representation and contact between citizens and institutions, the deputy prime minister told Horizont.
“The simple changing of the guard would not fully satisfy the demands of the people. The numbers are important. Ten times more important are the rules by which these figures are chosen.
“Certainly there should have been a better test prepared, since the subject is not completely new,” admitted Tomislav Donchev. “I have been listening to the Constitution for a long time since it was approved.”
“There will be news this week. He is accused of the need for news,” said the deputy prime minister, who is currently serving as acting prime minister due to Boyko Borissov’s absence from the country.
If Minister Kirilov wants to leave immediately, there is no one to hold him. This is not compulsory military service, Donchev said on the occasion of the resignation of the justice minister. “There are still enough candidates for ministers,” he added.
With these texts in the Electoral Code, it is very difficult to organize real elections, added Tomislav Donchev. According to him, it is unclear what type of voting machines are targeted and whose responsibility it is to provide them.
There is no record of who provides the machines, there is no body that has the right and the obligation to buy the machines, Donchev explained, calling this the “main defect”.
The most serious risk from the point of view of a constitutional crisis are elections in which Bulgarian citizens are not convinced of their truth, said Tomislav Donchev. According to him, this is the “worst case scenario”: electoral results that most citizens consider inadequate.
“Staying in an office of the Council of Ministers or in a ministry is not at all comfortable in this situation.” From the point of view of the party’s logic, the suspension of the government only brings damage, “Donchev said. When asked how much GERB is losing in the current situation, he added: “I can’t tell you numerically, but it is certainly losing.”
The position of much of the GERB structures is that there is no reason to resign, the deputy prime minister said.
