"GERB gets twice as many votes and local councilors as "We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" (WCC-DB). The final outcome looks like this. New pro-Russia and pro-Putin parties have emerged. Both WCC-DB and "Revival" belong to this category. According to the BGNES reporter in Plovdiv, this was said by GERB leader Boyko Borisov.
"WCC-DB and Revival united with the Bulgarian Socialist Party, united and played against us. We lost in several places, but we lost to a coalition," stressed Borisov.
The leader of GERB stated that he made his party vote for Vasil Terziev in Sofia, while at the same time WCC-DB and "Revival" played against Borisov in Bankya.
"The hypocrisy of Kiril Petkov is on full display here. WCC-DB with "Revival" make a fantastic team". Borissov declared, "I will inform all our Western partners about this.
People have zero tolerance for hypocrisy now, so either a proper alliance is formed or nothing will come of this. There is a beautiful collaboration between WCC, Revival and DB, and I will personally reveal this coalition to our friends in Europe.
Borisov was emphatic that hypocrisy would no longer be tolerated.
On Wednesday, I'll be summonning the party to convene to discuss all about the time the WCC "hugged" Revival. Let the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) members decide whether they want to adopt a Euro-Atlantic orientation or a pro-Russian one if the situation is universally as it was in Bankya.
When asked if GERB will abandon the "fit with WCC-DB," Borisov responded, "I don't even participate in loose fits." There was a deal, and now it's being severely broken. Denkov, who had previously written a letter to Radev on behalf of SANS (editor's note: State Agency for National Security), now informs me that he plans to dismiss the agency's chief. In this configuration, Revival and WCC have a more comfortable loose fit," Borisov added.
"On Wednesday, after seeing the results of all the cities, we will determine what to do. Half of my votes chose Terziev so that he may take over now.
"Terziev will be elected mayor of Sofia with the fewest possible votes. Even if we continue to fit together loosely, we will ultimately lose as a bloc if they see this as a success and fail to account for the fact that a very powerful radical left-wing vote is growing on the left and in the center. In part because we persist in employing tired cliches when discussing Euro-Atlantic ideals. Kostadinov of "Revival" takes a hard line against European far-right groups. We at WCC and DB are completely in over our heads!"
"We are the leading political force, and we deserve this victory. Since their voters are savvy, I now rely on Hristo Ivanov and Atanas Atanasov to weigh in on our arguments. After all, if their voters penalize them for being dishonest, then ours will too. The link between us is loose and we handle others in this way. If they can mate in the the countryside, they can do it at the national level, thus a hazy schedule with vague dates and times is pointless. Can we not have a single infrastructure project in the state?! Because they have "Thrace" highway, they have closed the northern "Hemus" highway project. The northern region of Bulgaria is one of the poorest in the country - why do they do this? The Budget, the Budget: What Are We Going to Do? Minister of Finance Vassilev plans to introduce new tax legislation tomorrow. There is not a single word of that which we have seen".
"When our term as representatives expired three years ago, I foresaw a downward spiral of elections. When the people gave me the authority to lead, I fared best in the Balkans". Borisov added that the mayors will have a hard time because the state has no money.
The leader of GERB inquired whether it wouldn't be preferable to have a neutral head of State Agency for National security (SANS) proposed by the president given the complicated loose fit.
"We should celebrate, but the unfortunate reality is that the people don't deserve it. When one party uses physical force against another, the dynamic between them changes. Since the pieces fit together so loosely, it seemed logical to tally the votes for these races together". Since it fits so loosely now, Borisov thinks it's only right to bring it up in parliament as well. /BGNES
