Gerdjikov: I doubt the authenticity of the photos with bars from Borisov’s bedroom, but let’s check




Prof. Anastas Gerdjikov


I have supported protests, an example being the occupation of Sofia University in 2013, when I was helping students

“I’m not sure that these photos are authentic. Borisov recognized his apartment, but obviously no one leaves their money like that. I’m not Borisov’s lawyer. I honestly think there is a problem with these photos because no normal person keeps his money. thus.” Thus, the presidential candidate Prof. Anastas Gerdjikov commented on TV1 in front of Mirolyuba Benatova the scandal with the photos with bars and bundles of euros from the bedroom of former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov, which were spread a year ago.

He was adamant that the case of the photos should be checked, as well as who took them. “We need to check whether these photos are authentic. It will be best for all of us to clarify this issue. Whether there was such a thing in Borisov’s house,” he said, stressing several times that he was not a lawyer for Borisov, but doubts the veracity of the footage.

Prof. Gerdjikov explained that he did not take part in the protests last year because of his position as rector of Sofia University. “Sofia University has taken part in 4 or 5 protests in recent years. There is only one protest in which teachers also took part, because they have always tried not to take sides politically,” he said, condemning police violence against protesters behind the columns of the MC.

“It was not clear at the protest who was right, but police violence, like any violence, should not be tolerated. I did not take action then because I was rector of Sofia University. By law, it is, but it does not take me out of human. As rector I can’t do that and take a position, “the presidential candidate added.

He also commented on footage showing political science professor Stoycho Stoychev from Sofia University showing the middle fingers of protesters who blocked his car at an intersection during the summer protests. “This teacher was obviously against the protests, but there was another teacher who did not do anything a little more unpleasant. He was collecting signatures against all those who do not agree with the protest. I announced that there would be no dismissals due to political views,” explained Prof. Gerdjikov, not imposing a disciplinary sanction on either of them.

In 2013, when he held the position of vice-rector at Sofia University, Gerdjikov supported the protest of the students who had occupied Alma Mater. “I saw the protests from the inside because the university was occupied. I was in support of these students, there was no way to announce it publicly, but I supported the students and helped them,” he said. According to him, President Rosen Plevneliev has rightly withdrawn his confidence from Oresharski’s cabinet after Delyan Peevski’s proposal for a candidate for head of SANS was announced.

“Plevneliev may have done the right thing, but he never said you are bad and you are good and let’s divide the nation. The president has a strong voice and the whole nation hears him, but it matters what he says. It is not acceptable to say “You are a bandit, and you are bad!” It is not right. The incumbent president was too harsh with the people and his personal bias spread to the people, “explained Prof. Anastas Gerdjikov.

He spent 2 years in the barracks, spending his first year in Pazardzhik as an infantryman, and in his second year in Slivnitsa again in the infantry.
