"There is a matter of the collapse of the state"

The president of Bulgaria accused of corruption on TV announced distrust of the government

Bulgaria President Rumen Radev addressed the nation today, having sharply criticized the government of the country. From today, he said in television circulation, I deprive the government of my trust, since it does not act in the interests of citizens, and the acute crisis in management at all levels leads to the collapse of statehood.

According to the president, for three years, that is, from the moment of his election, he urged the government to act responsibly and effectively in the interests of Bulgarian citizens. “Unfortunately, this does not happen.

The lack of will to reform and the fight against corruption and embezzlement, the methodical weakening of the law and morality led to the paralysis of social systems and institutions. ”

The legislation becomes a hostage to lobbying interests, and poverty and inequality are deepened, Radev continued. Institutions that are designed to be independent and defend the law turn into an instrument of power. There is a trade in national sovereignty in the name of personal political survival. State bodies allow you to intimidate the disagreement and protesters. There is an organized attack on civilian freedoms.

The current government leads the case to the collapse of the state and deprives us of the future as a nation. All this should be put an end, said Rumen Radev.

“Today, the separation does not occur between the left and right, the capital and the province, but between the vicious power and millions of worthy people. In the struggle for the protection of our rights, I am with you. "

“The president did not elect the government to deprive him of confidence,” Prime Minister Boyko Borisov commented on the head of state. He described the position of Ruman Radev as a direct interference with the independence of the executive branch.

Commentators pay attention to the fact that just a few days ago the main prosecutor's office of Bulgaria made a public property about the “high degree of probability” that Rumen Radev was involved in corruption. It was about the “exclusive testing using the official position” of the future wife of Radev when he was the commander of the Air Force, as well as real estate fraud. At the request of the chief prosecutor Ivan Geshev, the Constitutional Court of Bulgaria opened a case on providing an interpretation of the provision of the Constitution related to the immunity of the president

The President of the Republic of Bulgaria - the Head of State and the Supreme Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces of the country, he also has the right to impose a veto on the decisions of the People’s Assembly, but cannot influence the activities of the government.
