Gerdjikov: When I found out that GERB would support an independent, I thought of giving up

If we are supported by GERB, in the end none of us will be elected. If we are supported by GERB and MRF, in the end none of us will be elected. If our couple is elected, it means that at least 51% of the voters voted for us, ie not only GERB, MRF or “Yes, Bulgaria” supported us. This answered a question from News.bg regarding the support of his candidacy by the former ruling GERB rector of Sofia University Prof. Anastas Gerdjikov.

Unification – the leitmotif of Gerdjikov’s campaign

Prominent people from GERB are in the Initiative Committee for its promotion


It is the unification of the Bulgarian citizens, regardless of their political beliefs or which party they support – this will be the goal that will pursue the presidential candidate couple Gerdjikov-Miteva, stressed the rector of Alma Mater.

“To be honest, I hesitated for a long time. I thought that in a situation of fragmentation, the probability of electing a president who wants to restore normalcy is not high, “he added.

Gerdjikov has repeatedly stressed that it is decided to run long before GERB supported him. And he shared, somewhat surprisingly: “I thought not to run when I found out that GERB would support a non-party candidate. This is a big dilemma. For 10 days I had big fluctuations.”

The statement is made by the former Minister of Education Vladimir Atanasov


But in the end, on the initiative of the former Minister of Education Krassimir Valchev held a meeting with the leader of GERB Boyko Borisov. Prior to the conversation, he was skeptical about some of Borissov’s policies in the past, especially during his first term, but in the end the dialogue went “unexpectedly well.“.

I was expecting unpleasant surprises. The first thing Borissov told me was that if we agreed on support, they had no requirements“, stressed the presidential candidate. Gerdjikov did not spare critical, albeit polite, words about President Rumen Radev.

Rectors and school principals should not enter into a political battle


Asked by News.bg why, in his opinion, Radev did not cope with his task of uniting the nation, he replied: “Because I see the result. I have nothing against the personality of Rumen Radev, I know him and we are in very good relations. But what we see at the end of a president’s term, is the result.If he was the environment minister, we would ask him what state the environment leaves him in. If he was in the economy, he would have to be in charge of the economy. At the end of his term, each president must answer a single question – has he fulfilled the text of the Constitution, which says that he is the embodiment of the unity of the nation.”
