From a commercial point of view, the Bulgarian military industrial complex should export directly without arms intermediaries for Ukraine, but if there are guarantees, military aid should be provided from the arsenal of the Bulgarian armythat this technique can be replaced by a modern Western one.
This position was expressed on the sidelines of the National Assembly the president of “Bulgarian Rise” Stefan Yanev.
“When we talk about weapons, we have to divide the issue in two. First, arms as a business, the export opportunities of the Bulgarian arms industry. It is not a problem for me to export directly without intermediaries, it is a business. And all countries do it without worry. As for the military aid to be provided from the inventory of the Bulgarian army, the matter is more special. I’ve always been more reserved about this because we have to think about ourselves first. For this, the Bulgarian army should not only look for what to give, but we have the opportunity it should be replaced with something new and modern. From this point of view our position will be extremely balancedthe party leader said.
Sending weapons to a country at war was one of the topics of the presidential council held in parliament on Tuesday morning, Yanev said, as a consensus was reached not in a hurry, but in waiting for them to form parliamentary committeesto discuss the DB and GERB proposals for military aid.
Recall that Stefan Yanev was subsequently removed from the post of Defense Minister in Kiril Petkov’s government a number of controversial claims regarding the war in Ukraine, in which he used entirely the vocabulary of the Kremlin. Before the real hostilities began, you even accused the media of fueling the conflict and public opinion. Stefan Yanev commented on his removal from office as scenario and national security risk.
On the question of negotiations for the formation of a cabinet, Stefan Yanev defined how “successful” move by President Radev do not rush the delivery of warrants to increase the chances of forming a cabinet.
“From the first days we see how it started acute conversation between the parties, but now it is normalizing, we also have the beginning of progress on some issues. It is of the utmost importance that we do this efforts to form a majority to form a government. In this way we will be fair with the Bulgarian citizens “.
Asked if the PC from “Bulgarski Vozhod” will be involved in “paper ballot of the coalition“Stefan Yanev said he supports the automatic vote that straightened the ballot paper, and like a modern party expect to see innovative solutions by the Bulgarian parties, such as remote voting. In this sense, the return of the paper card will not be supported by BV.
