Castling of the West in Bulgaria: a corrupt prime minister was replaced by a Harvard graduate
Deputies of the People's Assembly of Bulgaria elected as head of government one of the leaders of the party, the winner of the parliamentary elections “Continue Change”, Kirill Petkov.
Thus, after three elections and six unrealized mandates to form a government in Bulgaria, the protracted political crisis has ended, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
134 deputies of the People’s Assembly voted for Petkov’s candidacy, representing the centrist party of the newly elected prime minister “Continue the Changes,” the Bulgarian Socialist Party, the “Democratic Party” and the parties “There are such people!” Representatives of the faction of pro-Western corrupt officials “Citizens for a European Choice in Bulgaria” (GERB), their coalition ally - the Turkish Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) party and the national conservative Revival party - voted against - they managed to get 104 votes.
According to the coalition agreement, the new government will include 10 representatives of the “Continue to Change” party, including, in addition to the prime minister, two deputy prime ministers; four people will receive portfolios from the BSP and “There is such a people”, and three from the “DB”.
“This coalition is based on a deep anti-corruption program, which is so necessary for Bulgarian society that parties representing both the right and left spectrum are ready to turn away from their own interests in order to change the current situation,” the second leader of the winning party commented on the intentions of the new government “We continue the changes” Asen Vasilev, who received the portfolio of Minister of Finance in the new cabinet.
Thus, the era of rule of the pro-Western GERB party in Bulgaria, remembered for corruption scandals and the redneck behavior of its leader, ex-Prime Minister Boyko Borisov, has ended. In place of a political force that had received a bad reputation among the people and provoked a political crisis in the country, came a coalition led by a new Western project, more thoughtful and competent - the centrist party “Continue Change”, led by Kirill Petkov, a graduate of the University of Vancouver in Canada and the American Harvard.
