Volen Siderov reacted sharply against Slavi’s party – “There is such a people” (ITN). “Slavi showed the middle finger to 2.5 million Bulgarians,” the Ataka leader wrote on Facebook.
Here is what he wrote in his comment:
“In his first speech, ITN representative Toshko Yordanov showed that the pathos of the show, which turned into a party, was demagoguery. After the referendum 5 years ago, in which 2.5 million Bulgarians demanded a majority vote, did not pass, in the following years, the show’s screenwriters and their boss practiced harsh oaths against the “political class”, which did not want to listen to the voice of its people, Siderov said.
Today, the screenwriters of the show party and their boss are already part of the “political class”. In this case, from a studio critic you are obliged to become an executor of the people’s will. But even at the opening of the 45th parliament, the leader of the ITN group Withdrew from its main cause – the majority vote. More important were other amendments to the “electoral” as he mistakenly called the Electoral Code. Voting by mail, remote voting, etc. But 2.5 million Bulgarians did not vote in the referendum for postal voting Which is also just an amendment to the election laws, there is no need for a new constitution and it is voted by a simple majority.
Toshko tried to explain the excuse for the pancake jump by saying that their party did not have an absolute majority. However, they do not need it. GERB stated and submitted a bill for a majority vote. They are 75, ITN are 51 people. A total of 126. Enough to vote to change the system from proportional to majority. But Slavi’s party backed off and practically showed the middle finger to 2.5 million Bulgarians.
Maybe someone more competent told them that if there was a majority vote in 2 rounds, now in the parliament GERB would have not 75 people, but 150. And the show party would score up to 3 deputies. As for the referendums, we remind you that back in 2012, the Ataka party introduced radical amendments to the Law on Public Consultation, proposing that the initiative signatures fall from 200,000 to 50,000, the votes that make the result of the referendum mandatory. reduced from 500 thousand to 200 thousand, and the period in which the collected signatures to be submitted to the parliament to increase from 3 to 5 months. With these amendments, if adopted, direct democracy would become a reality as in Switzerland. But GERB, MRF and BSP rejected the possibility. Now this company has been joined by “There is such a people”, which only verbally differs from these forces of the status quo “, the leader of the” Attack “party concludes.
