Assen Vassilev: Radev is not a "new" savior, he has been in politics for 9 years and has a history in this politics  - 1

What the legal commission adopted in the dark ages explodes the Electoral Code. This was stated to the Bulgarian National Radio by the leader of "We continue the change" Assen Vassilev.

Most likely, it will come to voting only with paper ballots and the biggest falsification of elections and vote theft, he said.

There is no second stamp on the ballot, there is no verification of the ballot number with the cob number. The scanning devices will not be certified. Only in 3% of the sections will the results from these machines be compared with the control receipts, the PP leader outlined the shortcomings of the changes being pushed through in the EC.

There is now a very clear choice: one is GERB and MRF, the other - a strong Bulgaria in a strong Europe, and the third - on both chairs, believes Vassilev. According to him, Bulgarian citizens must come out and say which Bulgaria they like.

Some of the people who would vote against Borisov and Peevski would vote for Rumen Radev, admitted Asen Vassilev about the upcoming inclusion of the current head of state in the parliamentary field.

"This whole request - "a new savior is coming, he has been in politics for 9 years and has a history in this politics," he pointed out and added that he and Radev have differences on fundamental issues and asked: "When will Radev say that peace means Russia withdrawing from Ukraine?". Still, Vassilev sees a window for joint action on judicial system reform.

For the first time in these elections, GERB and MRF have a chance to shrink to below 80 seats, Asen Vassilev pointed out.

All the collected materials will be swept under the carpet, he warned about the closure of the KPK. "There should be such a body, but it should be politically independent. I am not sure that it will be closed. If it is closed and all the materials are scattered, covered and disappear, the creation of a new anti-corruption body will be a very difficult process."

The main thing to consider is which prime minister and which team can hold fair elections, Vassilev expressed his opinion about the future caretaker cabinet, but refused to comment on the personal issue of the future caretaker prime minister.

The state's position on Greenland must be determined by the president, who has not said anything, and the foreign minister, who has also not said anything, the PP leader also noted.
