Bulgaria has a weak Prime Minister and a weak and inefficient government, the country's President Georgi Parvanov stated several days before leaving office.
The fact that Prime Minister Boyko Borisov's centrist-right GERB is in power will contribute nothing to the country's efforts to cope with the crisis, Parvanov reckons.
"Borisov is moving away from the core of politics. He was insulted when I once told him that he is a weak Prime Minister. Unfortunately, as I am looking back now, I should say that my assessment has been confirmed," the outgoing President told bTV on Sunday.
Parvanov once again reprimanded Borisov for what he perceived as a series of "rude statements" on behalf of the Prime Minister. He referred to Borisov's infamous comments that followed the death of a young girl in the city of Pernik.
During his interview on Sunday, Parvanov confirmed that he will remain active in the sphere of politics and will renew his membership in the Bulgarian Socialist Party which he once headed. Upon asked whether he will try to take over the leadership of the left-wing party, he pointed out that he has always been nominated by others for the key positions in his political career.
Parvanov further addressed his successor, GERB's former Regional Development Minister Rosen Plevneliev, wishing him to be a "better President than him."
Georgi Parvanov's second and last term in office ends on January 22.
