Yotova: The manner in which the Security Council was held is a heavy precedent – Bulgaria

I regret that this meeting was not better prepared. And the most important thing for me is the anxiety it instills in all of us, Bulgarian citizens. This was stated by the vice president to journalists in Bankya Iliana Yotova on the occasion of the extraordinary meeting of the Security Council of the Council of Ministers, which was called to discuss the proposed cancellation of the derogation for Russian oil.

The Prime Minister Academician Nikolay Denkov today convened an extraordinary meeting of the Security Council of the Council of Ministers on the occasion of the draft law submitted to the National Assembly to amend the Law on Control over the Implementation of Restrictive Measures in view of Russia’s actions destabilizing the situation in Ukraine.

According to Yotova, there is doubt and mistrust of the Security Council. She commented as “grave precedent” the manner in which the meeting was held.

Earlier today, first the representatives of the GERB-SDS parliamentary group Desislava Atanasova and Delyan Dobrev left the meeting. Later, the chairman of the DPS parliamentary group did the same Delyan peevski.

This means a very deep chasm within the “non-coalition”, already on topics related to the national security of the countrythinks Yotova.

If Bulgaria will be suspected of circumventing the sanctions as a state policy, this will be another argument in the hands of those European partners who do not particularly agree with us being part of Schengen, she also commented.

Vice President Iliana Yotova is in Bankya, where she will participate in the opening of the XV Congress of the National Union of Labor-Productive Cooperatives.
