„I see how the propaganda works. The „New face” – what is new about him? Rumen Radev has been in politics for 10 years. He always plays opposition to every government.“ This was stated by Gen. Atanas Atanasov from „We Continue the Change – Democratic Bulgaria” to BNT.
„I categorically believe, based on Radev's entire biography, that there are no conditions for our coalition to cooperate with him. The entire old and some parts of the new red nomenclature were built behind him. We are serious opponents of him“, he emphasized.
„Does anyone remember Radev being received in Germany, France, Italy, Great Britain, Spain? All of Western Europe does not trust him and knows that he is a follower of Putin“, he added.
PP-DB will fight to be the first political force, he also announced.
About our membership in Donald Trump's Peace Board, Gen. Atanasov said: „Full disclosure. Can a government in resignation, a prime minister who has two days left to be prime minister, go there on the fast track and take pictures with Trump? Only two EU countries - Bulgaria and Hungary, went to take pictures with third world countries.“
It is categorical that this is humiliating and frivolous for a European Bulgaria, a member of the eurozone, of Schengen.
