Vanya Grigorova's first comment on the runoff vote: I am a Bulgarian left-wing politician of a new type

"I thank Ivan Takov, who was at the core of the coalition that raised me. Thanks also to everyone who voted". This is what Vanya Grigorova, nominated by Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) and "United Left", said in her first comment on the vote.

"We gave citizens hope and offered them a path to freedom. They voted for us with hope, not disgust, to quote one of the leaders of the political loose fit. And yet, despite the problems today, despite the smear, we leave with hope, we think hope's alive, and that hope's within arm's reach. There is nothing more to say today, as there is no official data", added Grigorova.

"I am already a Bulgarian left-wing politician of a new type", Grigorova also commented.

"Thanks to all the voters who voted for us. We thank Vanya Grigorova for the worthy fight. We're not going to talk about the machine vote and what happened to it, or the invalid ballots. We thank our coalition partners".

This was said by Ivan Takov from the BSP - Sofia, BGNES reported.

"We will wait for the final results, nothing is clear yet. I am convinced that we have succeeded. Tomorrow it will be finally clear what the results are. We are convinced that we will be able to implement this mandate", addedTakov.

"I thank Vanya Grigorova for the courage she showed. For the way she behaved in the campaign, for the messages she sent to Sofia. Let me say that there is only one institution to which I have no gratitude, and that is the government. In the face of the prime minister and the minister of the e-Government, who destroyed the trust of the citizens and affected the voter turnout. Filming, transcribing, saying that all parties buy votes; the statement of the prime minister that the Central Election Commission is responsible for the organization of the elections is a precedent in Bulgarian history. I think we should wait for the final results, and then announce who won the elections, Kostadin Paskalev said. /BGNES
