“The stability of the government depends on the architects of the majority – these are Mr. Borissov and Mr. Peevski. It depends on the understanding between the two of them, as they are the personnel officers of the government, they are also the people who decide what direction it should take.” This is what President Rumen Radev, who attended the swearing-in of the newly elected judge of the Constitutional Court, Orlin Kolev, told journalists.

Yesterday, “Vazrazhdane” party with the support of “Velichie” and MECH submitted a motion for a vote of no confidence against the government of Rosen Zhelyazkov due to “systemic failure in foreign policy”. At that time, the leader of Vazrazhdane, Kostadin Kostadinov, admitted that the vote was doomed, but this did not mean that the arguments for this act should not be presented.

According to the head of state, in a parliamentary republic, a vote of no confidence is a legitimate means for any opposition, but it is also its responsibility to find a majority for this vote.

Regarding the investigation into the activities of Bulgarian European Prosecutor Teodora Georgieva, launched by the European Public Prosecutor's Office, Rumen Radev said that until there was a serious investigation into the cases of Pepi the Euro and Martin Bozhanov - the Notary, society would not have confidence in the judicial system and the state would continue to be a prisoner of certain dependencies.

The president also asked what was happening with the two investigations and whether there were other representatives of the judiciary who "passed through Pepi the Euro's couch, who were recorded and who currently hold responsible positions". According to him, this hypothesis is very likely: "In that case, who is providing justice? These representatives of the judiciary or the one who holds the recordings?"
