On April 17, the parliament dismissed the manager of the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) Stanimir Mihailov. We had one last week head of NHSOC, which you had not already submitted the resignation, who appeared in the hall, and despite the fact that there was no resignation, and he was in the hall – Zhelyazkov put his so-called resignation, which is not there, for a vote, and did not give him the floor, Petkov said and added that it was only a small example. These little examples have happened to us over the last nine months all the time, and you know what’s troubling – it’s not like there’s some procedural trickery being played, it’s not even that she was looking him in the eye so much and didn’t give him a chance to say why he was doing it, commented Petkov.
“If all this was his doing and based on what Rosen Zhelyazkov himself thought, we would simply say: “well, a political opponent, not playing fair, not playing nice, but an opponent who is freePetkov pointed out. According to him, the real problem is that all these decisions, including this one, were not his. They belonged to Mr. Peevski,” Petkov believes.
Every one of these procedural problems, violation of rules, violation even of the Constitution in one of the times, was not because he did not realize what he was doing, but because he had no choice, because he was not free, commented Petkov. In his words, the political message to GERB was: “we will not part with you any more until you are free from this huge problem you have, from this millstone that has stuck to you” and clarified that it is “Delyan Peevski as the person who currently holds permanent power. This is a vote of no confidence to anyone who does not is free in this hall. You can have ideological differences with us, you can have different visions, but you must be free”.
Asen Vassilev was asked a question related to an event organized by Boyko Borisov and Delyan Peevski meeting of the mayor of Yambol with the acting minister of finance. According to the co-chairman of the PP, if we return to this, the old model of financing municipalities, it is extremely bad for the state for two reasons – there is no fair distribution of money between all municipalities according to objective principles and criteria, and one mayor to be able to does something for the citizens in his municipality, he must become dependent on political leaders, which he says means that local government becomes a mirage.
Nikolay Denkov on the other hand, he commented on the decision by which the Parliament obliged the Council of Ministers to provide funds from the state budget to “Mini Maritsa Iztok” EAD in the amount of BGN 250 million per year for a period of four years in order to ensure technical reclamation activities of disturbed areas of the deposit ” East Mariskie Coal Basin”.
“Pthe problem of miners and energy workers is that they were consistently, systematically, persistently lied to by everyone, and today it continued, because they were promised BGN 1 billion from our money, from all of us, which the moment it starts being given to them, the European Commission will establish the obvious – that they are impermissible state aid, and then we will still have to pay them because they are impermissible state aid. Meanwhile, without making much noise, we secured BGN 2.3 billion for the regions of Stara Zagora, Pernik and Kyustendil,” he said.
After that, each of the three of them gave a few minute presentation. Questions from the attendees followed.
