site.btaBSP-United Left’s Dragomir Stoynev: Government Will Survive

"This government will survive, and from now on, it expects much longer-term work with the implementation of structural reforms that are necessary for the Bulgarian citizens and the state," said Dragomir Stoynev, Deputy Parliament Chair and BSP – United Left floor leader, during the debates on the vote of no confidence concerning internal security and justice.

According to him, the government of Rosen Zhelyazkov has so far been solving problems and extinguishing fires, but it has also started working, and the results have started to become visible. "I assure you that with the new budget, this government will begin to show the long-term policies it has," said Stoynev. He pointed out that the main problem for Bulgarian citizens is maintaining their standard of living and ensuring stability in the country.

Stoynev also added that today’s government is not a coincidence, but a direct result of the political irresponsibility and lack of dialogue from the CC-DB coalition. "These same colleagues, who until the last moment negotiated with us, who set conditions and demands, ultimately demonstratively refused to be part of the government’s composition because they didn’t like the Prime Minister," he pointed out.

According to Stoynev, it was their inconsistency and refusal to take responsibility that led to the current structure of the government. "If there had been more dialogue and a willingness for real work, rather than just slogans, today’s government would have a different face and different support," Stoynev added.
