Radev

The Bulgarian army should not be used for political purposes, this country's Minister of Defense Krasimir Karakachanov said, BNR reported.

At the beginning of today's government session, Prime Minister Boyko Borissov stressed that he was not fighting anyone. The reason for his speech was the address of President Rumen Radev from yesterday, with which he withdrew his trust from the government.

The PM also said that he had ordered an immediate inspection of the trash around Struma Motorway.

What annoys you is that the president is telling the truth. You know he is right, but you don't accept it. All this must be put to an end!

With these words, BSP Deputy Chairman for Bulgaria Krum Zarkov addressed the ruling majority, commenting on the address of the head of state Rumen Radev from yesterday, in which he withdrew his confidence from the Borissov 3 cabinet.

"We share the President's motives," BSP leader Korneliya Ninova said in connection with the confidence of the head of state, Rumen Radev.

Bulgaria's Prime Minister Boyko Borissov said he was surprised at the February 4 announcement by President Rumen Radev, in which he stated he was withdrawing his trust in the government.

PM Boyko Borissov: "How can he withdraw something that isn't there?"

President Rumen Radev made a formal address to the people, in which he strongly criticized the government. In it, he announced that he officially withdraws his trust from the cabinet "Borissov 3".

President Rumen Radev announced on Tuesday that he is withdrawing his support from the government coalition made up of the GERB party, which has been in power for a decade, and the United Patriots.

"Today, the division is not between left and right, the capital and the provinces, but between vicious power and millions of honourable Bulgarians," Radev said.

The real challenge multilateral diplomacy is facing are the temptations to take unilateral actions from which risks for security ensue. This is what Head of State Rumen Radev said at the traditional reception for the heads of the diplomatic missions accredited in Bulgaria.

After consultations with the political forces in parliament, Finance Minister Vladislav Goranov stated that until its entry into the Eurozone Bulgaria will not change the exchange rate of the Bulgarian Lev which is now pegged to the Euro at EUR 1 to BGN 1.95583, BNR reported.

The prospects for deepening the cooperation in the sphere of high technologies, education and innovations were in the focus of the meeting between President Rumen Radev and the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, held at 2 Dondukov street, the presidential press office reported.
