an interview

– Mr. Mihailov, we all know you as an entrepreneur who’s behind the thought of ​​”Historic Park” Now you might be an ideologue of the get together “Velichie” Why did you enter politics?

– I’m not the one ideologue of “Greatness”. This get together is the sum of the choice of a number of individuals. We’re all dissatisfied with one factor – how the state works. As a result of there isn’t a safety and stability for the residents of Bulgaria. There isn’t a order and legitimacy. My opinion is that the primary which means of the state and statehood has been misplaced in Bulgaria, that’s to make the individuals prosper, that the particular person can stay and stay peacefully. At the moment, the state has turn out to be an oligarchic enterprise wherein just a few individuals management vital sources and stop others from creating. And the primary responsibility of state businesses and officers is to serve the individuals, not the oligarchy and themselves. Each determination made must be from a place of what and what’s greatest for the individuals – now, but additionally in the long run.

– What trigger do you defend in politics? What’s the first process you set in entrance of the messengers of “Velichie” to unravel?

– There are a number of fundamental sectors wherein we wish to make adjustments by way of parliamentary management. In Bulgaria, we now have excellent legal guidelines, however they aren’t revered. The Nationwide Meeting, along with making legal guidelines, should take actions to manage their implementation. There’s a drawback on this route in the intervening time and we wish to work to alter it. As a result of this may assure that the legal guidelines of Bulgaria are revered and that the entire nation works in the fitting manner. We have to see which individuals are abusing and make issues proper.

We would like Bulgaria to stay within the EU and NATO, however as equal members

I feel that to ensure that a nation to operate correctly, there have to be a way of justice and every particular person should make sure that what he has created won’t be destroyed by thieves and robbers. For instance, let’s take authorities contracts – they need to be accomplished in a manner that advantages the individuals. However, in actuality, one thing else is going on – small companies aren’t getting an opportunity. As a result of orders are for “selecting”. That is why we do not have well being care in Bulgaria – the system is corrupt and let’s examine what sort of consequence we get – shameful! In schooling, issues are creating in the identical manner. The police and prosecutors use energy to oppress individuals. These are all issues that we now have to work on in order that Bulgaria turns into a pleasing place to stay. We would like our fellow residents to return from overseas, and for many who are right here to have the boldness to develop and work, and never, as it’s now, to simply accept as a result of they’re afraid them in regards to the penalties.

– 12,000 Bulgarians residing overseas voted for you. Does this shock you?

– As well as, many Bulgarians who lived right here in our nation voted for Velichie. What impresses us within the analyzes is that they’re educated individuals, with larger schooling, which exhibits that the intelligentsia voted for us.

– You’ve got already talked about that “Velichie” wouldn’t help the GERB and DPS authorities within the fiftieth parliament and that the preservation of the Leva is vital for Bulgaria.

– Precisely. We introduced that we wish Bulgaria to stay within the EU and NATO. These are organizations which might be at present benefiting us politically – let’s be in them, however keep in mind that we even have rights. Ie we’re equal members of those teams and it isn’t, as some are attempting to inform us, that we solely have unavoidable duties. Allow us to at all times make selections that profit us as a individuals, and never simply to serve one pressure or one other.

On the Bulgarian degree, when we now have the lev, we now have our personal financial coverage. that when a state has its personal financial institution, it will possibly earn money when it wants it. The Bulgarian financial institution can generate debt that will likely be paid again, however after we are linked to the euro, issues will rely upon the European Central Financial institution. After which we depend on the coverage of the highly effective EU international locations and we now have no coverage of our personal. In such a scenario, vital selections of the state could must be constructed from exterior. In some way we’re shedding our freedom! That is the issue in our opinion!

– There’s plenty of hypothesis about your intention to separate an unbiased republic from Bulgaria to hitch Russia. How do you remark?

– I might think about it extra like yellow info. Each regular particular person is aware of that there isn’t a method to separate territory from Bulgaria to Russia or another neighboring nation. We do not also have a land connection, and we do not have the alternatives and advantages of being with Russia. These are “representations” of sick minds. I did not name it a decision.

The place is the logic of wanting Bulgaria to hitch Russia, whereas on the identical time eager to protect the leva!?

Russia is traditionally related to Bulgaria. We’ve got given them tradition, we now have given them language and writing, in addition to some type of state group, faith as nicely. We’ve got many widespread moments with Russia, such because the Wars of Liberation – the 2 international locations are shut and what I see is that we now have nothing to share with them. We are able to solely cooperate. However should you ask me what my place is in the direction of America or Britain – it’s as it’s. These international locations are nice powers and I respect them. An excellent energy that he shouldn’t attempt to humble!

– Investigations are being carried out by the Ministry of Inside Affairs and the Nationwide Safety Company towards the “Historic Park”, in addition to the institution of teams just like personal police and a paramilitary group energetic on the territory of the city of Vetrino. .

– That is precisely the identical assertion as saying that we wish to “break free from an unbiased republic”. It is type of humorous. As a result of a personal military can not cover from the establishments or from a passerby. Nothing could possibly be hidden, there was nonetheless an image.

It’s absurd to accuse us of being Russophiles and that it’s an American undertaking on the identical time.

However the photos distributed by some media don’t have anything to do with the “Historic Park” or with individuals close to the park. These are random views that aren’t actual. that many widespread sports activities on the planet at present are paintball and airsoft – individuals who shoot balls and simulate conflict video games. These aren’t actual navy workouts, however we’re charged with all this. And the therapy is 100%. She is coming from people who find themselves a prison group and use their media to implement the practices of capital. They wish to shield some individuals who have pursuits in constructing and utilizing areas in a selected space. And so they use the media and their concepts to do it in order that they hurt their opponents – the aim of this focused assault is that in some unspecified time in the future they’ll get these territories at a really low price.

– Till not too long ago, you had been mates with “Vazrazhdane”, however you bought into sharp sports activities already within the first hours after the elections. Why? The costs towards you might be that you’re an “American undertaking” and a “monetary pyramid”.

– Whenever you say that you’re “mates” with somebody, it often means that you’ve got sat at a desk with that particular person a minimum of as soon as. I’ve at all times been in enterprise relations with Kostadin Kostadinov, the pinnacle of “Vazrazhdane”. We’ve got communicated with him, we now have printed books. The most effective is the guide associated to Bulgarian historical past and self-awareness. As soon as we organized a protest collectively – towards the involvement of Bulgaria within the conflict in Ukraine, and these are our solely joint actions.

From “Vazrazhdane” they are saying that we’re an American undertaking?! On the one hand are the claims that we wish to break free from Russia, then again that we’re an American undertaking? Do you see in any other case? On the lookout for a method to be notorious. It’s clear that people who find themselves in politics are frightened about us, about “Greatness” as a brand new undertaking that may take its place within the political area.

We’ve got excellent legal guidelines, however we now have to make everybody obey them

Relating to the pyramid scheme – this allegation comes from my affiliation with the “Historic Park” to which we’re stated to have bought shares. These shares had been discontinued again in 2019, 5 years have handed since then. On the time, there was an investigation by the prosecutor’s workplace that questioned all of the shareholders, and their investigation discovered no misrepresentation. Individually, we had a gathering of shareholders who stated they had been pleased with their funding within the Historic Park – these individuals say they weren’t deceived. All these accusations a few monetary pyramid, nevertheless, hurt the repute of the “Historic Park”. And to not Ivelin Mikhailov.

Let anybody who desires to make his accusations immediately towards me, and with out harming the repute of the park. “Historic Park” – just one initiative, funding in tourism.

– The place and who funds the get together, in addition to your election marketing campaign?

– The cash comes from our sponsors – they collected cash for every corridor we used, for tools, for sound. We at Velichie have contributed little or no to this initiative. We even have donations from people, which will likely be seen and verified by the get together that controls the nation’s authorities.

– What sort of Bulgaria do you’re employed and do you wish to see it sooner or later?

– I wish to see Bulgaria as the perfect place on the planet, which provides growth alternatives to Bulgarians, and ensures that they keep of their nation. I need our nation to have a longtime authorized system – clear guidelines which might be revered and apply to everybody! I need us to have a robust economic system and growth facilities for growth. Having all of the conditions to stay in a fantastic, clear and creating nation.
