Georgi Parvanov: We, the politicians from the transition period, should withdraw

“I believe that we, the generation of politicians from the transition period - those who were or still are leaders from the transition period – should prepare our withdrawal from the top, but not in a steep or revolutionary manner,” said President Georgi Parvanov at a public meeting in Haskovo on Wednesday evening. According to the Head of State, we should invest in new, strong and skillful politicians. “I believe it is everybody’s duty - of Parvanov, Borissov, Stanishev, Kostov, Dogan – let me not name all political leaders - to prepare this smooth change which should take place without a conflict between generations,” he added. He claimed that the leader who manages to do this in the best and fastest way would be the winner. According to Parvanov, many bright people have been evicted by the people in power and escaped abroad.

“The fault with this statement is that it is very difficult to formulate who the politicians of the transition period are. I am not sure that the term “politician of the transition period” is important. Rather, we should divide politicians into respectable people and rogues,” Anton Kutev, Media Policy Secretary of BSP (Bulgarian Socialist Party), told Klassa. According to him, the people responsible for the problems during these 20 years must withdraw from politics.

“When the Constitution gives you the right to only two mandates and you can no longer be a candidate for president, it is impudence to give advice to people who have nothing to do with you. All this is because Parvanov cannot run for president and has involved other people with himself,” Veselin Metodiev, Deputy Chairman of DSB (Democrats for Strong Bulgaria) told Klassa.

“Who will replace these politicians? I believe these won’t be the students from the transition period?,” MRF (Movement for Rights and Freedoms) Vice Chairman Aliosman Imamov commented for Klassa. He was firm that there are no people within the political class who work better than the incumbent party leaders.
