The protest energy in Bulgaria is not decreasing, but is transforming into sustainable civil resistance. This was stated by the co-chairman of "Yes, Bulgaria" and PP-DB MP Bozhidar Bojanov in "Panorama".
"The protest is the systematic tool of citizens to oppose the outrages. It doesn't matter much whether there are 150,000, 100,000 or a few hundred people - the civic energy is there and is already turning into resistance", Bojanov stressed.
Regarding the protesters' demands to remove Delyan Peevski's security and office, Bojanov said that these are not small goals. They are symbolically important, Bozanov believes.
"The big goal is to dismantle the model and eliminate the state's capture. The security and the cabinet are symbols of power and their retreat is symbolically very important", he said, specifying: "Retreating from them is also important because it frees people further down the chain to think a little more freely".
According to him, the ultimate goal of the protests is "to dismantle the model and eliminate the state's capture", not personal attacks. Bozanov rejected claims that political parties "lead the square", stating that they hear the citizens.
"The organization is ours, but the messages come from the people".
In the context of the upcoming elections on the topic of future coalitions Bojanov stated that "Democratic Bulgaria" does not avoid questions, but insists on a clear mandate from the voters.
"We call on the citizens to give us such a majority that we do not have to make compromises", he pointed out.
Bozhanov also pointed out that changes in the election rules are necessary.
"The cleanest elections in Bulgaria were with entirely machine voting", he said.
