Assen Vassilev: Will Rumen Radev vote to make the salaries of the Supreme Judicial Council minimal if they continue to fail to comply with the law?  - 1

Where was Rumen Radev now, when there was a protest against Sarafov, for the Supreme Judicial Council to remove Sarafov? Why didn't he come? This was asked by the chairman of "We Continue the Change" Assen Vassilev in an interview with "From Today".

"Will Rumen Radev vote to make the salaries of the Supreme Judicial Council minimal if they continue to fail to comply with the law? Will his party vote to have personal financial responsibility for the magistrates for whom Bulgaria has been convicted and is paying in cases," he added, emphasizing that "these are the real questions."

Vasilev explained that he was not the one who personally insisted that Yavor Bozhankov not be part of the PP-DB lists for the upcoming elections. "We have a decision of our National Council from 2 months ago. This was clear to our colleagues from "Democratic Bulgaria." Ultimately, they decided to respect the decision of our National Council," he pointed out.

When asked if this situation puts the integrity of the coalition to the test, Vassilev replied: "I don't think any person is greater than the cause of cleansing Bulgaria of corruption".

According to him, the texts in the extension budget, which passed between the first and second readings, "are not that problematic".
