The GERB leader acknowledged the weakness admitted and proposed a public-private partnership for future highways

GERB leader Boyko Borisov visited Silistra today on the great Christian holiday of the Assumption, where he attended the consecration of the newest Orthodox church “St. St. Constantine and Helena” in Denlenki in the village of Aydemir. The event was held solemnly, with a bell bell, accompanied by the Metropolitan of Dorostol Jacob, who performed the water. Borisov was among the people, as he often did on such days, and showed respect for faith, community and tradition.

The temple was built with the efforts of the local community, and especially of the donor Dr. Todor Todorov, who donated nearly 70% of the value of the project. The total investment exceeds half a million leva.

But Borisov did not fail to talk about politics either.

“If you ask me about my mistake,” I will tell you: Borisov teach the Bulgarians to drive without money. This is not right. They did not do it in Turkey, nor in Serbia, nor in Macedonia, but I – out of love for people – I decided to have no fees on the highways. And now we are fighting a created habit that is hard to change. “

According to him, the decision is a public-private partnership that works all over the world. The Black Sea Highway must be public-private. And the next lots. This is the case in Europe, so in America, it should be in our country, “the GERB leader added.

Borisov has severely criticized President Rumen Radev and the formations around him. “The same ones who fight in the chest for state property – Radev, PP, DB – they do not tell who they are defending it. Neither the government has set out to privatize anything, nor the parliament. But they will” defend their stella, “as they like to say. What? Nobody knows. “

According to Borisov, he currently has a conscious attempt to create a scandal out of nothing.

“We have been in different departments for 15-20 years. Is there a state property from which I am ashamed to have been sold? There is no.

He accused the president and coalition partners of PP and DB in a coordinated attack on the Anti -Corruption Committee (CPCONPI).

“They talk about closing. One day PP, the other DB, then the” new beginning “. It’s all in sync. At the same time, they do not know that the recovery plan explicitly requires this committee to exist. Thanks to the expertise of GERB ministers, we were able to save billions in this plan, otherwise it was completely failed. “

Borisov recalled that it was Bulgaria who was given an example by the European Commission for a successful correction of a non -working plan.

The GERB leader was adamant: “No object has been prepared for privatization. This is a fictional dispute. If anyone wants an example – Plovdiv. The barracks in the center have been standing for years, west, dangerous. The state is not a good owner. Europe works through the private sector. The privatization must be transparent.

Regarding the attacks on the regional governors and property disputes, Borisov commented: “Do not quote me analysts from the sea.

Asked if a balance between the authorities was possible, Borisov was clear: “It is not possible when we have a president who uses every tribune – including military ceremonies – to speak against the legally elected government. Without the Secretary -General, without the head of SANS, without ambassadors – this is the result of his refusal to fulfill his constitutional obligations.”

Asked for a possible breakup of the ruling structure, Borisov replied: “If we do not understand the” new beginning ” – we go to the election. That is. I will not become left, they will not become right. But every party must be responsible for its voters. “

In the context of the summer fires, Borisov recalled his years as a firefighter and noted: “Volunteers are heroes, but they must be prepared. Public contracts for equipment are delayed for years – the companies are being tried, money is sinking. People cannot burn, but we can argue on committees. “

He went back in time when firefighters extinguished fires with Zils and Skodi and with clothing made of tarpaulin. “Today, the technique is different, but without prepared staff, even it is useless. Volunteer programs must be renewed.”

Borisov also commented on the meeting between Trump and Putin to be forthcoming. “God forbid the stop of war. Captives are exchanged – a thousand. This shows that both armies do not want this war. Life is sacred, not the earth.”

At the end of his speech, he admitted with a smile: “The questions are like a prime minister, and the answers are as a MP. The king was right – the crown is heavy. And mine is like that.”
