Bulgarian PM Borisov: Anyone from GERB who Succumbs to his Mentality will be Punished

Prime Minister Boyko Borisov has assured in front of the Bulgarian National Television that all members of GERB, who have committed violations of the purchase of apartments and the construction of guest houses, will be held responsible.

"Anyone who has fallen into a situation like this, anyone who has not thought of their heads, has succumbed to their mentality, or has decided that everything is allowed, will incur the heaviest punishment and responsibility," the prime minister said, adding that resignation is "half the job".
 
"Everything will be done to reign justice and return the money," Borisov added.
 
He regretted that the scandals were causing serious damage to GERB, despite the great achievements of its involvement in power.

Borisov thanked the media for investigating the violations.
 
Asked whether he would resign, he said he would end his mandate and reject the allegations that his next goal was the presidency.
 
Borisov assured that after completing his mandate as prime minister, he would withdraw from the party.

He stressed that the day of forgiveness for his deputy Tsvetan Tsvetanov will be on 26 May - the day of the European elections - and he likened the scandal of Tsvetanov's apartment to "putting a tar in the copper honeycomb", assuring that he had made his conclusions.
 
"From a man of great authority, he erased everything good with what he did," he added.
 
On the occasion of relations with President Rumen Radev, Borisov commented that they both have differences, but on many issues they work together.

The Prime Minister also commented on the expected Volkswagen selection for investment in a new plant in Southeastern Europe, where Bulgaria, Serbia and Turkey are possible...
