The former head of the Audit Chamber is an accountant who speaks and does not understand a single foreign language. We are headlong diving back into the era of “Did I hear a congratulation, Borisov, I’m not listening any further.” And if it wasn’t funny, it would be completely and only tragic, because at stake is not only the reputation of our country, which has risen significantly since Denkov and Gabriel at the helm. It is monstrously dangerous that in this complex geopolitical situation, the stake of the sick ambitions of GERB-DPS is also the national security of our country.
Bulgaria is in negotiations for the Eurozone and land-based Schengen – long processes that have seen great progress in the last few months. This means that both the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Prime Minister will have an extra huge workload. At the same time, the prime minister cannot participate in some of the European formats and mechanisms, and the state must be represented by a foreign minister.
Not by chance, even when Maria Gabriel asked to be both Prime Minister and Foreign Minister after the (unhappened) rotation, it was abundantly clear that reconciling the two functions was practically impossible. Although Gabrielle herself is an academician in foreign policy compared to Glavchev. For reference – there are only three countries in the world with prime ministers and foreign ministers at the same time – Fiji, Samoa and Qatar.
The decision for the caretaker prime minister to also take over the foreign ministry caused violent mockery on the Internet. Along with the dozens of cartoons and memes, there were also proposals for Glavchev to run for the vacant position of patriarch, as well as head of the BFS, after the stormy dissatisfaction with Gonzo.
The question remains with whom Glavchev’s office will coordinate its foreign policy, especially after the departure of foreign policy adviser Plugchieva. With the pro-Russian president? Because there will be no parliament until the elections. And we guess that unofficially things will be coordinated with GERB-DPS. The truth is that the GERB-DPS monopoly in foreign policy is a disaster for Bulgaria, bearing in mind that foreigners are neither yesterday’s nor stupid. The changed as big Euro-Atlanticians are in a very serious deficit of trust, especially now, when the world is closely following the development of the revelations about “Turkish Stream”, from which it becomes more and more crystal clear how tied they are to the realization of Russian energy and economic interests in Europe . However, with Glavchev at the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they will not even come close to Euro-Atlantic laundering.
