The National Movement for Stability and Progress (NMSP) would not support the sixth motion of no-confidence against the Cabinet, to be voted on on July 30, NMSP deputy leader Milen Velchev said in the morning show of Nova Television.
We dont see the need for the Cabinet to collapse right now The heal-all of the problems mentioned in the [European Commissions (EC)] report is not the overthrow of the Cabinet, Velchev said.
That Cabinet has the resources needed to correct its actions, its policies, and we will work step-by-step on these corrections next year.
The change of a couple of ministers would not resolve the problems, according to Velchev. Bulgarias problems resulted from the lack of confidence, not from European Union funds utilisation.
Asked whether NMSP was a more serious alternative to the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) than the rightist parties, Velchev said: Yes, I could summarise that for sure.
Democrats for a Strong Bulgaria (DSB) leader Ivan Kostov told private broadcaster bTV that DSB wanted to overthrow the Cabinet because of its anti-European policy and the great harm it causes to Bulgarian citizens.
According to Kostov, the Cabinet did not change the most vulnerable ministers, those pointed out by the EC, because they were related to party funds. These ministers provided public procurements to the companies that funded the parties, Kostov said.
Asked whether he was ready to participate in the elections with the other opposition parties in a joint election list, Kostov said that first, the principles and the goals of the Government should be decided so that the pro-European course could be restored.
Nato and the EU are short, fast goals, which are not the Bulgarian national ideal, but only an instrument for the realisation of Bulgarian national ideals, Krassimir Karakachanov, leader of the Bulgarian party Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organisation (IMRO), told bTV.
Nato and the EU had given Bulgaria the chance to be a stable country and to guarantee its security and economic standard, but only if we do our job, Karakachanov said.
