“An unprecedented political month has come to a close, a month in which there were two kinds of elections – parliamentary and presidential - which clearly demonstrated the will of our people for change, for breaking with corruption and lawlessness, for ousting the mafia from power. The expectations that people would weary of elections and would prefer to revert to the old familiar ways have not come to pass,” Rumen Radev, winner of today’s presidential runoff stated after the first election results were announced. He stressed that Bulgarians passed their test in democracy and did not yield to the attempts, during the campaign, at sowing ethnic divisions.
“There is no room for error for the new parliament because people will not forgive that. The public expectations are that there must be a distinct political majority which must undertake an immediate reform of the judiciary, and not allow a social and economic crisis during the winter months, it must make the decisions that have been put off for years,” Rumen Radev said. He highlighted the following priorities: the fight against the pandemic, as well as the fact that “the new government must not back down from the national positions, especially when the Bulgarian identity and the rights of our compatriots abroad are at stake.”
